Amazon Web Services (AWS) on Wednesday joined its rivals in launching
Amazon Titan Image Generator that can create new images given a text
description or customise existing images.
As a content creator,
you can now use the image generator to quickly create and refine images
using English natural language prompts, the company said.
“You can
use the model to easily swap out an existing background to background
of a rainforest, or can use the model to seamlessly swap out backgrounds
to generate lifestyle images, all while retaining the main subject of
the image and to create a few more options,” said Swami Sivasubramanian,
Swami Sivasubramanian, Vice President of Database, Analytics, and
Machine Learning, at the ‘re: Invent 2023’ conference here.
The
image generator will help companies in advertising, e-commerce, and
media and entertainment to create studio-quality, realistic images in
large volumes and at low cost.
The model can understand complex prompts with multiple objects and generates relevant images.
It
is trained on high-quality, diverse data to create more accurate
outputs, such as realistic images with inclusive attributes and limited
distortions.
“In addition, you can customize the model with
proprietary data to generate images consistent with your brand
guidelines or to generate images in a specific style, for example, by
fine-tuning the model with images from a previous marketing campaign,”
the company said.
Titan Image Generator also mitigates harmful content generation to support the responsible use of AI.
All
images generated by Amazon Titan contain an invisible watermark, by
default, designed to help reduce the spread of misinformation by
providing a discreet mechanism to identify AI-generated images, said
AWS.
The company also introduced two new Amazon Titan multimodal foundation models and Amazon Titan Multimodal Embeddings.
“Amazon
Titan Text Lite and Amazon Titan Text Express are now generally
available in Amazon Bedrock. You can now choose from three available
Amazon Titan Text FMs, including Amazon Titan Text Embeddings,” said the
company.
Amazon Titan models incorporate 25 years of artificial
intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) innovation at Amazon and
offer a range of high-performing image, multimodal, and text model
options through a fully managed API.
AWS also announced the availability of Anthropic’s Claude 2.1 foundation model (FM) in Amazon Bedrock.
Last
week, Anthropic introduced its latest model, Claude 2.1 with reduced
rates of hallucination, improved accuracy over long documents, system
prompts, and a beta tool use feature for function calling and workflow
orchestration.
Since launching in June 2023, the AWS Generative AI
Innovation Center team of strategists, data scientists, machine
learning (ML) engineers, and solutions architects have worked with
hundreds of customers worldwide, and helped them ideate, prioritize, and
build bespoke solutions that harness the power of generative AI.
Now, AWS has announced the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center Custom Model Programme for Anthropic Claude.
Starting
in Q1 2024, customers can engage with researchers and ML scientists
from the Generative AI Innovation Center to fine-tune Anthropic Claude
models securely with their own proprietary data.
