Freepik releases an ‘open’ AI image generator trained on licensed data


Freepik has released an 'open' AI image generator, F Lite, trained on licensed data. It requires beefy hardware to run, however.

Most companies developing these models argue shields their practice of using copyrighted data for training without compensating the owners. Freepik has made two flavors of F Lite available, standard and texture, both of which were trained on an internal data set of around 80 million images. Other companies developing media-generating models on licensed data include Adobe, Bria, Getty Images, Moonvalley, and Shutterstock.
