India's First Text-to-Image Model Launched by Fractal

An AI-powered model that can create visuals from languages has been released in India by New York-based SaaS company Fractal. According to the business, Kalaido.ai is the first text-to-image production model that can produce high-quality graphics from text prompts in 17 Indian languages, including Tamil, Sanskrit, Hindi, and English.

According to the firm, Kalaido.ai has demonstrated a 40% increase in image production efficiency in internal trials when compared to other current alternatives. The tool improves image quality, realism, and detail by combining "training-free" techniques with minimum instruction, according to a statement from the company. With this method, images are generated more quickly, time is saved, GPU costs are decreased, and the carbon footprint is decreased.

Additionally, Kalaido asserts that it has successfully lowered the price of image creation for a multinational soup brand by 79%, saving almost €5,000 for each image. The business went on to say that it can also be used for a number of other things, such as game development, banner ads, product one-pagers, campaign photos, and food photography.

This technology paves the way for exciting possibilities in the fields of image to text and text-to-image conversions, potentially aiding in tasks like generating captions for existing photos or creating visuals based on written stories. Kalaido.ai showcases a fascinating application of technology, where text descriptions are transformed into high-quality images. This highlights the capabilities of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in reverse.

In contrast to its predecessors, Kalaido.ai ensures inclusivity and accessibility by processing inputs in 18 Indian languages. Using a large dataset of 70 million photos, the program outperforms previous methods with an impressive 40% improvement in image detail production. Its versatility and ease of use are further demonstrated by the fact that it can create photos in a variety of styles and aspect ratios with just one click.

Kalaido.ai's consequences go well beyond simple image production. The diffusion model developed by Fractal is useful in a variety of fields, including graphic design, social media marketing, advertising, and educational technology. Kalaido.ai helps organizations increase their creative output and manage their operations by drastically cutting down on production time and costs. Notable success stories include producing comprehensive course content for an ed-tech company with few shooting requirements and reducing costs by 79% for a global soup brand.
