introducing the media synthesis museum
an active and interactive entity created to preserve generative cultural objects
huggingface.co/mediasynthesi…
it starts as a @huggingface organization that contains modern code for old techniques: VQGAN+CLIP, DALL-E Mini, ModelScope Video, Stable Diffusion 1.5
you can use old models/technique directly on Spaces or locally on modern hardware/software, without the old "colab notebook" dependency rot
the idea is to really preserve and make accessible those artifacts and aesthetics - both open source. In the future, we hope to also have also historically relevant closed source like DALL-E 1 and DALL-E 2 from @OpenAI, older @midjourney models, older @runwayml apps/techniques/models (cc @c_valenzuelab@DavidSHolz@sama)
