  Congrats guys, this is super cool. I think if you built an arena where you can drive the cost even lower ($1K), it'd really get developers stoked.Have you thought about setting up auto-research on this for smaller experiments? What's the minimum-viable budget for these types of workloads?

  Amazing. I think this is an understudied areas. The big labs if anything are disincentivized to make efficient models as currently access to compute is one of their moats. That's not the same for Chinese labs, which is why you see groundbreaking efficiency work mostly coming from China.Really happy to see a small shop like yours doing this sort of work!

  Wow this is really impressive. Throwing away the VAE feels counterintuitive - I'm shocked it works so well! Appreciate that you shared your training insights on the blog post!Reminds me of this great paper where they trained a LLM that beats LLaMA2-13B from scratch with < $0.1M: https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.07413

  What was the most difficult challenge for you guys with this project?Also I'm a little intrigued on looking into efficiency techniques for video gen. What are current research directions in that field and promising directions you are particularly interested in? Any pointers for beginners?

  What are you using as your training data out of interest? Very impressive generation.

  Impressive. Even the average number of fingers seems to be correct ;-) Looking at the failures, I wonder how much cherry picking went into the showcase.

  What open source datasets did you use? Or did you pirate like the big labs ?

  Interesting. It does however seem to struggle with a lot of the typical t2i models struggle with. Over smoothing, lots of uncanney shine, mangled limbs and such.

  How many ladybugs are in training dataset?

  I wonder how this behaves when quantized, and how far are we from being able to run something like this purely in the browser with WebGPU.If you swap the text encoder for something like T5-small or CLIP, this could be <2.5Gb at INT4; doable on a lot of machines.
