Small Model Triumph! HKUST and Kuaishou Jointly Develop Evolutionary Search Technology, Letting AI Art Generation Move Beyond 'Brawn Over Brains'

In the field of AI art generation, there has long been a general understanding that generating high-quality images and videos requires larger models, more parameters, and stronger computing power. However, the research team from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Kuaishou Technology recently proposed the EvoSearch (evolutionary search) technology, which is completely overturning this traditional notion. The most impressive performance of this technology is: after using EvoSearch, the generation quality of the Stable Diffusion 2.1 model with only 865M parameters has astonishing results.
