CogVLM VS surge

CogVLM is very good in my (brief) testing: https://github.com/THUDM/CogVLM

The model weights seem to be under a non-commercial license, not true open source, but it is "open access" as you requested.

increasing growth most places in world

heres a total feature map of what was released in 2023:

I think thats definitely a signal that the B and C teams werent needed, considering they cut 90% of staff LOL.

As for the bots, AI is making it easier than ever to bypass those systems. CogVLM is just sitting there menacingly on github https://github.com/THUDM/CogVLM

Honestly at this point there is no need for human for captioning except maybe for NSFW content. Img2text is just good enough for nearly all images. GPTVision or open source equivalent (like CogVLM https://github.com/THUDM/CogVLM ) are just good enough.

A core Llama.cpp contributor, named cmp-nct, discovered stumbled upon what might be the next leap forward for vision/language models. CogVLM (which uses a Vicuna 7B language model combined with a 9B vision tower) excels particularly in OCR (Optical Character Recognition), detail detection, and minimal hallucinations. It effectively understands both handwritten and typed text, context, fine details, and background graphics. It even provides pixel coordinates for small visual targets. CovVLM surpasses other models like llava-1.5 and Qwen-VL in performance.

I'm researching using LLMs for alt-text suggestion for forum users, can you share your finding so far?

Outside of GPT-4V I had good first results with https://github.com/THUDM/CogVLM

I've got some decent results with CogVLM. Resolution kinda sucks at 490x490, though.

Good stuff!

I started getting in to this at the start of the year. Already had an old, dusty MicroKORG and MIDI interface to use it as a controller, but recently splashed out on a bigger controller as the Korg's tiny keys were hurting me - plus, I wanted something bigger to get better at piano!

A couple of free soft synths I'd recommend are Surge XT, and Vital.

https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ and https://asb2m10.github.io/dexed/ should work like a charm.

To get the equivalent of a symphonic orchestra in your computer, the solution is basically money; you buy the instruments you need. In the case of synthesizers, things are much cheaper - if you put in the effort yourself. https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ is excellent and could even be used if you wanted to make a more retro-style soundtrack.

Instead of Synth1, try https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ . It's pretty much better in every aspect except for the UI which is going to look a lot more daunting to you ;)

In general, this should only happen when a Program Change message is sent.
