It has been every week since MWC 2024 concluded, and whereas there have been a whole lot of attention-grabbing merchandise and improvements on the showfloor this yr, it is not possible to cowl them multi function go. Nonetheless, one demo that left me jaw-dropped (and has stayed on my thoughts because the final day of the present) is the MediaTek’s Textual content-to-AI Picture era instrument showcased at their sales space.
At MWC, MediaTek demonstrated their SDXL Turbo AI engine, which transforms textual content into photographs. Whereas AI fashions changing textual content to photographs aren’t new, what’s exceptional about this instrument is that this engine operates offline and on-device. The engine proven within the video under is operating on a prototype machine with the Dimensity 9300 chipset at its coronary heart and the machine is not linked to the web.
The AI engine is so highly effective that it could possibly flip textual content into photographs nearly in real-time (with a response time of lower than 1 second for every immediate and textual content enter). Within the video, the preliminary picture generated from my immediate was already spectacular, exhibiting a cat carrying a hat whereas consuming cheese. What’s much more stunning is how rapidly the picture adjustments as I alter the immediate.
That is one thing that not even highly effective on-line instruments are in a position to do. Fashionable AI companies like ChatGPT and Google Gemini additionally provide text-to-image instruments, however MediaTek goes a step additional by offering the instrument on its chipset, and it really works offline. Whereas it is not flawless — for instance, it struggles with prompts containing greater than two characters — the engine reveals promise.
Now, earlier than you get too excited, it is necessary to notice that that is only a demo for now, and MediaTek hasn’t talked about if or when it’s going to be obtainable on smartphones with the Dimensity 9300 chip. We’ll maintain you posted as we be taught extra. Within the meantime, we might love to listen to your ideas on MediaTek’s text-to-image instrument.
