Kakao Brain has released two new AI models, Vision Transformer (ViT) and ALIGN. The models are available on the Hugging Face model hub for developers to use and fine-tune. ViT is a type of transformer-based image recognition model that achieves state-of-the-art results in various computer vision tasks. ALIGN is a text-to-image model designed for generating high-quality images from text descriptions. --- Why it matters: These models are significant because they demonstrate the capabilities of large-scale AI models in both image and text recognition, which can be used to improve applications such as image classification, object detection, and language translation.
