Recraft<\/a> is billed as the first-ever AI tool for generating and editing vector art, icons, 3D images, and illustrations within a brand\u2019s style guide.\u00a0 By<\/span> leveraging generative AI, the product creates layouts, fonts, colours, and illustrations.<\/span> In the eight months since launch, Recraft claims to have attracted over 300,000 users.<\/span><\/p>\n As a product for professional designers, the system has to offer a high degree of control. With the new foundation model, Recraft promises another level of creativity.<\/span><\/p>\n The London-based startup is pitching the incoming system as an alternative to open source <\/span> AI platforms such as Stable Diffusion. These tools are accessible popular and accessible art generators. Users can fine-tune them to customise the models for specific tasks, but they will face significant constraints. According to Recraft, the process severely limits the quality of images.<\/span><\/p>\n TNW Conference 2024 – Speakers announced!<\/p>\n Meet the powerhouse experts that will take the stage on June 20 & 21 in Amsterdam and save your seat today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cFine-tuning cannot make the model learn new things,\u201d Anna Veronika, the CEO of Recraft,<\/span> told TNW. \u201cIf the model cannot generate football players or a ballet dancer, then fine-tuning cannot help it. <\/span>This is what happ<\/a>ens with the Stable Diffusion model, and any other alternative. So the next step to improve image generation quality is to build your own foundation model.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Foundation models, however, don\u2019t come cheap. With the fresh cash infusion, Recraft is confident that the vision will become a reality. The Series<\/a> A round was led Khosla Ventures and Nat Friedman, the former CEO of GitHub.<\/span><\/p>\n Work is already underway on the foundation model, which will use a <\/span><\/span>pre-trained, deep-learning algorithm.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt will be much bigger in size, and has a different architecture which enables better anatomy, detail quality, and more complex text descriptions,\u201d said Veronika, who previously created CatBoost<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 one of the world\u2019s most popular machine learning frameworks.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The foundation model will play a fundamental role in Veronika\u2019s grand ambitions. <\/span><\/span>She believes that AI is driving the future of the design industry \u2014 and wants to grab the steering wheel.<\/p>\n \u201cTaking part in it right now will have a huge influence on how it will look in the coming years.\u201d<\/span>\n <\/div>\n If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
