-: All right, this is a really fun one,
which is Gemini 2.0 image generation.
And what makes this fun
is not that it's an image generation model,
which is neither here nor there.
There's a lot of image generation models.
But what's cool about this is that it has native editing.
When you say, make me an image with the words hello Mike,
it actually really understands the prompt intent
as straight into an image.
It is not actually calling an image generation model,
like ChatGPT is.
It's much better, I found, at prompt adherence.
But a really cool thing that I think is the killer feature
is that it can take an existing image,
and because it understands a lot about what's in that image
and it's not converting it into a prompt,
then you can get some pretty cool stuff.
I'm just gonna upload an image here.
This is from a marketing website
and this is specific '90s nostalgic gaming-style pixelated.
So I'm just gonna say, create another image of this style,
but it's a major city.
(keyboard clacking)
And if I do this in ChatGPT,
it tends to get pretty bad results
because it misunderstands the image style.
But because we're not converting into a prompt
and then converting to an image generation model,
which might lose some of the information along the way,
instead it's really bringing that same style across,
which is very cool.
And then, I'm just gonna say,
make it of Times Square but in the same style.
(keyboard clacking)
Okay.
There you go. Very cool.
All right, I'm gonna try one more.
And this is another really interesting way to do it.
Because it understands what's in the image,
it can also do character consistency.
So I'm just gonna find a headshot.
Let me find one.
Yeah, there's my headshot.
I'm gonna say, make a passport photo of this guy.
(keyboard clacking)
And there you go. (laughs)
It's pretty good,
considering that we didn't fine-tune a model here.
This has been possible with fine-tuning for a while,
but this is one-shot character consistency,
which is pretty powerful.
So yeah, I encourage you to mess around with it
and think about how you wanna use it
because there are many new applications you can create
with this type of one-shot application,
with this type of one-shot image-to-image type model
or text-to-image type model.
Because it's working natively,
it can do so much more and it's really surprising
how much more it can do without losing information
in between translating into a prompt
for an image generation model.
It's all the same model now
and it feels completely different.
