Episode notes
Compositional AI's Rise
- Compositional AI, remixing existing models like first-order motion or CLIP, drives innovation.
- This approach allows developers to create novel applications by combining pre-trained models.
Compositional AI Examples
- A lip syncing app built on the first-order motion model went viral, demonstrating compositional AI's power.
- Artists are remixing OpenAI's CLIP model with others, creating fantastical art and NFTs.
Web 2.0 and Remixing
- The rise of Web 2.0 and REST APIs lowered the barrier for remixing web services.
- This ease of integration is now becoming a standard in application development.
