builder.io·3yDon’t Build AI Products The Way Everyone Else Is Doing It
To build unique, valuable, and fast AI products, it is recommended to avoid just wrapping over other models. This approach faces problems such as lack of differentiation, high costs of running large language models, slow performance, and limited customization. Instead, developers should create a toolchain that combines fine-tuned models, custom compilers, and custom-trained models. By using AI models selectively and focusing on specific problem areas, developers can achieve faster, more reliable, and differentiated AI solutions.

Community Picks·3yIntroducing GPTs
Introducing GPTs, a new way to customize ChatGPT for specific purposes. GPTs can be created without coding and can be shared with others. The GPT Store will feature creations by verified builders and users can earn money based on usage. GPTs prioritize privacy and safety. Developers can connect GPTs to the real world through custom actions and APIs. Enterprise customers can create internal-only GPTs. OpenAI wants more people to shape AI behavior. ChatGPT Plus has been updated and simplified.
Ars Technica·2yStable Diffusion Turbo XL can generate AI images as fast as you can type
Stable Diffusion Turbo XL is an AI image-synthesis model that can rapidly generate imagery based on a written prompt. It uses a technique called Adversarial Diffusion Distillation to produce image outputs in a single step, significantly reducing the number of steps required compared to its predecessor. SDXL Turbo can generate images in real-time and has the potential for applications in generative AI video filters and experimental video game graphics generation. However, the images generated by SDXL Turbo are not as detailed as those produced by the previous model.

CSS {IRL}·3yStop Using AI-Generated Images
AI image generators are threatening illustrators' livelihoods by producing highly detailed illustrations quickly and without compensating or crediting the artists. These generators can also spread false information, create harmful content, perpetuate bias, and lack the depth of human emotion. Artists are resisting by filing lawsuits and developing tools to alter images for AI interpretation. The choice to participate in the proliferation of AI content on the web is up to us.
