    Training foundation models require enormous resources. We can overcome this by working with the vast collective intelligence of existing models. @HuggingFace has over 500k models in dozens of modalities that, in principle, can be combined to form new models with new capabilities!…

    Innovation in AI keeps going. Excited for this evolution from @SakanaAILabs. Their new approach of *evolving* new foundational AI models, which leverages on the vast ocean of open-source AI models out there, enables them to efficiently, and with little effort, produce powerful...

    @huggingface As a 🇯🇵 AI lab, we wanted to apply our method to produce foundation models for Japan. We were able to quickly evolve 3 best-in-class models with language, vision and image generation capabilities, tailored for Japan and its culture. Read more in our paper https://arx…

    Introducing Evolutionary Model Merge: A new approach bringing us closer to automating foundation model development. We use evolution to find great ways of combining open-source models, building new powerful foundation models with user-specified abilities! https://sakana.ai/... [v…

    Thrilled to announce @SakanaAILabs's first launch (< 2 months after seed funding!) of 3 SOTA evolutionary AI foundation models for the Japanese market @SakanaAILabs challenges the current paradigm of costly model development w/ resource-efficient, evolved models THREAD👇🇯🇵
