Introducing Un-0: Generating Images with Coupled Oscillators
TL;DR. Executing deep neural networks on GPUs has dominated AI for a decade, but we think the next jump in energy efficiency demands a fundamentally different computer, one where physics does the computing. We built Un-0 , an image generator powered by a simulated system of coupled oscillators , an example of an emerging physical computing substrate. On ImageNet 64×64 it reaches FID 6.74 , matching the quality of leading conventional image generation methods when they were first published. Weights, training, and ablation code are all open. Join us on an Unconventional journey!
