A new, potentially revolutionary artificial intelligence framework called ‘Blackout Diffusion’ generates images from a completely empty picture, meaning that the machine-learning algorithm, unlike other generative diffusion models, does not require initiating a ‘random seed’ to get started. Blackout Diffusion, presented at the recent International Conference on Machine Learning, generates samples that are comparable to the current diffusion models such as DALL-E or Midjourney, but require fewer computational resources than these models.
