AI Weekly #002

🆕 What's new

Enjoy last week's new tutorial:


  • How to generate App logo using ComfyUI? (opens in a new tab): Our tutorials have taught a lot about how to use ComfyUI, but some students have reported not knowing how to get started when they want to apply ComfyUI to their work. Also, there are a lot of little configuration items in ComfyUI, and the tutorials haven't covered them one by one, so it's not clear how to configure them. Therefore, we've decided to write a series of hands-on tutorials to teach everyone how to apply ComfyUI to real work cases, as well as sharing some tricks to help everyone use ComfyUI better.
  • Stable Diffusion Advanced (opens in a new tab): Added the Stable Diffusion XL workflow, which can generate more refined images.

An open-source hardware product developed by Stanford University. The technology is quite complex.

Microsoft released a new small language model Phi-2. Phi-2 only has 2.7B parameters, but the performance of Phi-2 surpasses the Mistral and Llama-2 models, which have 7B and 13B parameters respectively. The screenshot below shows Phi-2's score. The core reason for achieving this effect is that Microsoft compiled a high-quality dataset to train this model.

Convai has released its latest game AI feature - Scene perception and NPC interactive generation, in the CES2024 NVIDIA special live broadcast.
