  1. “So, this is actually a foundation based on which we're going to release some more exciting features next. This is just the first release. You're just testing the waters, figuring out how to work with Hagen Face and the open source community Confuci UI, etc. What I'm personally most excited about is something we haven't released yet, which is editable text and layout control. And I really believe for a lot of design and marketing use cases, we need editable design, not a single flat image. And we haven't released that yet. We cannot show the teaser in our video, but I'm personally most excited about that. On the technical side, what we've done is we went really detailed on the prompting.”

  2. “I think I already kind of touched on this. The new open source model is very exciting in that it unlocked a lot of new use cases. It's very photo realistic. I think it can generate up to 2K. Smaller model, too. Obviously, there's very precise layout control as well. Do you want to talk about some of the net new use cases that's unlocked by this model?”

  3. “The best chip makers to really optimize the model, the best inference providers. So this is basically us saying, hey, we are very serious about building the foundation model and we would like to work with you wherever you are, whether you're an app developer or a chip maker or an inference provider.”

  4. “What has happened is there has been a lot of progress in industry and we used to do everything. Basically, we had our own first party app as well as our own first party API and model development itself is a lot of work. We decided to focus a little more on the model side. I think that's where a lot of potential exists. We still want to continue to own the interaction with the users. We think there's a lot of important feedback we can get from the users directly. But then we want to focus more on building the model and by releasing the weights, we're actually extending ourselves and working with inference providers, working more directly with large enterprise. They have every ability to customize the models or host it on-prem or optimize it for device. And we would love to work with”

  5. “Really excited to talk through something that everyone has been buzzing about, which is the fact that the model is open weights. The previous itogram models have been closed source, so we'd love to hear how you made the call to make it open this time”

  6. “One thing we were always wondering is that this release, the open source model, is so small, it's 9.3 billion parameters, like previously a so tie is probably like 80 billion parameters. NIAX of a difference. How did you do it”

  7. “Really want our models to have taste. Every artist can really customize this model to the new answers of their style, the texture of their canvas, and really get 2K output. And hopefully make that part of their workflow.”

  8. “It's not about how good a model is in the general sense. It's about how good is this model for my use case, for a lot of design and marketing use cases. We need editable design, not a single flat image”
