Imagine with Meta AI launched as a standalone AI image generator; Know how to use it
It appears that floodgates have opened in the final month of 2023, as tech firms are launching new AI models and tools virtually left, right, and center. Yesterday, Google unveiled its largest AI model called Gemini, and shortly before, Apple also released its machine learning framework MLX. Now, Meta has also launched its AI image generator tool called Imagine with Meta AI, which was so far only available in chats as a standalone platform, allowing anyone with a Meta account to generate stunning AI art. For now, the service is only available in the US, but it is expected to be expanded to other regions soon.
Meta announced its launch in a blog post, where it said, “Today, we're expanding access to imagine outside of chats, making it available in the US to start at imagine.meta.com. This standalone experience for creative hobbyists lets you create images with technology from Emu, our image foundation model”. Even after its standalone launch, the feature is still available in Meta messaging platforms too.
Imagine with Meta AI is a text-to-image AI model that can generate images similar to DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion. It is powered by Meta's existing technology called the Emu image generation model and is capable of creating high-resolution images from text prompts. The platform is free-to-use, unlike the others mentioned here which makes it a unique proposition for users.
A thing to note here is that Meta has said it will be adding watermarks in weeks to come. The statement said, “In the coming weeks, we'll add invisible watermarking to the Imagine with Meta AI experience for increased transparency and traceability”. Unlike normal watermarks, it will be invisible to the eye but will show up in detection tools.
