Is the text prompt input the only common thing between SD and MIT models when comparing outputs? If so I am surprised at how SIMILAR the outputs of both models look in the general layout / framing / composition of the image. How can for example both fox astronaut images have near identical backdrop of earth and earth alone on the same side of image at same apparent size. Virtually the same shade of deep blue for deep…

MIT is somewhat distillation model, maybe it was distilled from SD? Edit: it was, section 3.1

I think it is wild that "good" outputs are always some of the most uncanny imagery. Sure it is better than older versions, but "photorealistic" only makes sense if you are describing a photo to someone who can't see. I know it's "early" but they don't deserve this praise. It is cool they can assemble things but it really is a very low bar compared to reality. I know non creative people don't care but audiences care.

There's more to startup value that whether or not they've implemented the latest nifty trick into their models. Their moat is architecture, research, distribution, design, and scale. Have all the local LLM hacks based off Llama 2 and the like done anything to diminish OpenAI's value?

I would say it has. If no one could demonstrate even GPT3.5 capabilities, then OpenAI could be worth a few hundred billion more in private valuations. But multiple vendors have already demonstrated viable alternatives.

Their valuation tripled to 80 billion in 10 months. I'm pretty sure they're not losing much to open source

It gives an idea in investors' minds that OpenAI's models can be matched or be "good enough" by open source models.

OpenAI has been at least one year ahead of everyone else in everything they have released do far. And there’s no sign they are stopping any time soon (e.g. GPT5 is expected this year).

Makes me wonder that on any given day someone could find way to improve something, and OpenAI value will evaporate quickly. Seems like these startups with high valuations, are more tenuous even than the startups of years past.

Also Meta can spend billions building their own models and release it for free to kill your business.

And people will for sure use them to start new startups
