OLD MODELS
NO NEW GENERATIONS!!!
When I started at Google, Veo 1 had just launched internally. In only 2 years, generative video has come so far that the model itself is now extinct.
Results entirely unreproducible.
All we have left of it is a few thousand rare, strange, beautiful videos. & I have never stopped thinking of them...
ONE WEEK FROM TODAY, @tiatplace in San Francisco presents Post Generation, featuring 3 brilliant artists recycling Veo 1 outputs.
No new generations. Just new life for old ones. RSVP below ↓

lots of focus on new AI models.
...so much so that its easy to forget how we got there.
new project to map, preserve, and celebrate our path to the singularity. just donated to @OldModels_AI.

I made an interactive archive of historic image gen models. I'll be adding audio, video and text models soon.

@OldModels_AI happy to contribute sold music-audio models, i have optimized kernels for some of them that run them way faster

Added Stable Diffusion XL to the sandbox and enabled image prompting for every model that allows it!
also, please donate dalle and dalle-2 weights @OpenAI
Hey @OpenAI, I'm hearing that @AnthropicAI is very close to solving giving me like $300-500k to keep oldmodels.org running forever
we answered the call oldmodels.org
(we don't have GPT-3 DaVinci yet though)

I think a lot about how the early models were outclassed so rapidly that the outputs are at risk of becoming like mythical lost media

good to see initiatives like @OldModels_AI, would love to see its models and outputs made permanent on Arweave
oldmodels.org/sandbox now live

My father-in-law is an artist. It is difficult to get his attention in a magnificent space because he is lost in wonder. We were in a museum together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to paint it today. I will never forget his answer…
“We can't, we don't know how to do it.”
This is a list of some candidate models we've had trouble sourcing for the archive— either because they are proprietary or simply hard to track down. ANY LEADS? 🙏🤲
