Emad Mostaque — Stable Diffusion, Stability AI, and What’s Next
Show notes
Emad Mostaque is CEO and co-founder of Stability AI, a startup and network of decentralized developer communities building open AI tools. Stability AI is the company behind Stable Diffusion, the well-known, open source, text-to-image generation model. Emad shares the story and mission behind Stability AI (unlocking humanity's potential with open AI technology), and explains how Stability's role as a community catalyst and compute provider might evolve as the company grows. Then, Emad and Lukas discuss what the future might hold in store: big models vs "optimal" models, better datasets, and more decentralization. - 🎶 Special note: This week’s theme music was composed by Weights & Biases’ own Justin Tenuto with help from Harmonai’s Dance Diffusion. - Show notes (transcript and links): http://wandb.me/gd-emad-mostaque - ⏳ Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:42 How AI fits into the safety/security industry 09:33 Event matching and object detection 14:47 Running models on the right hardware 17:46 Scaling model evaluation 23:58 Monitoring and evaluation challenges 26:30 Identifying and sorting issues 30:27 Bridging vision and language domains 39:25 Challenges and promises of natural language technology 41:35 Production environment 43:15 Using synthetic data 49:59 Working with startups 53:55 Multi-task learning, meta-learning, and user experience 56:44 Optimization and testing across multiple platforms 59:36 Outro - Connect with Jehan and Motorola Solutions: 📍 Jehan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jehanw/ 📍 Jehan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jehan/ 📍 Motorola Solutions on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MotoSolutions/ 📍 Careers at Motorola Solutions: https://www.motorolasolutions.com/en_us/about/careers.html - 💬 Host: Lukas Biewald 📹 Producers: Riley Fields, Angelica Pan, Lavanya Shukla, Anish Shah - Subscribe and listen to our podcast today! 👉 Apple Podcasts: http://wandb.me/apple-podcasts 👉 Google Podcasts: http://wandb.me/google-podcasts 👉 Spotify: http://wandb.me/spotify
