Open Prompts is the dataset used to build krea.ai. The data comes from the Stability AI Discord and includes around 10M images from 2M prompts. You can use it for creating semantic search engines of prompts, training LLMs, fine-tuning image-to-text models like BLIP, or extracting insights from the data—like the most common combinations of modifiers.

Krita's v4.2+ RGBA brushtips let you paint with dimensionality, and it's a technology that Photoshop doesn't have (≖‿ゝ≖) It lets the creator do things like emulating light direction, making brushstrokes look 3D. I used them to make a set of metallic brushes. If there are any FOSS artists around, feel free to test them out. (p.s. Yes, I am learning Github so I probably made repository mistakes - apologies in advance lol)

Hey folks, I’ve been working on using control-net to take in a video game level (input as a depth image) and output a beautiful illustration of that level. Play with it here: dimensionhopper.com or read the blog post about what it took to get it to work. Been a super fun project.

Hi HN! We're working on an AI studio product, and have been experimenting with the recently-released ControlNet (https://github.com/lllyasviel/ControlNet) After wasting hours with it, we decided to put together a quick fun project. "Sketch" allows you to draw anything (works w/ touch inputs on mobile too), enter a prompt (it can be as simple as "drawing" and it'll try to guess) and you get something out fast. Keeping it all on a public feed as well, to serve as inspiration. Hope anyone here finds it fun :-)

Creating high-quality scientific figures can be time-consuming and challenging, even though sketching ideas on paper is relatively easy. Furthermore, recreating existing figures that are not stored in formats preserving semantic information is equally complex. To tackle this problem, we introduce DeTikZify, a novel multimodal language model that automatically synthesizes scientific figures as semantics-preserving TikZ graphics programs based on sketches and existing figures. We also introduce a Monte Carlo Tree Search-based inference algorithm that enables DeTikZify to iteratively refine its…
