Apple Research just unearthed a forgotten AI technique and is using it to generate images

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-03 20:59:45

Today, most generative image models basically fall into two main categories: diffusion models, like Stable Diffusion, or autoregressive models, like OpenAI’s GPT-4o. But Apple just released two papers that show how there might be room for a third, forgotten technique: Normalizing Flows. And with a dash of Transformers on top, they might be more capable than previously thought. First things first: What are Normalizing Flows?

Back in November, I tested the image generation capabilities within Google’s Gemini, which was powered by the Imagen 3 model. While I liked it, I ran into its limitations pretty quickly. Google recently rolled out its successor — Imagen 4 — and I’ve been putting it through its paces over the last couple of weeks. I think the new version is definitely an improvement, as some of the issues I had with Imagen 3 are now thankfully gone. But some frustrations still remain, meaning the new version isn

On memes, mimetic desire, and why it's always that deep

When filmmaker and scholar Hito Steyerl wrote her manifesto “In Defense of the Poor Image” in 2009, internet memes were only in their infancy. But in the years since, the meme has become the dominant form of the poor image — “an illicit fifth-generation bastard of an original image.” Of the poor image, Steyerl wrote: Altogether, poor images present a snapshot of the affective condition of the crowd, its neurosis, paranoia, and fear, as well as its craving for intensity, fun, and distraction.

Dancing Naked on the Head of a Pin: The Early History of Microphotography

To produce microphotographs en masse, Dagron used a long wooden box that contained, at one end, a glass negative of the image to be reduced. At the other end was the reducing camera with up to twenty-five small lenses and the sensitized plate. When the end with the negative was held to a light source, the image was projected into the lenses and onto the sensitized glass plate to create multiple positive transparencies, each measuring about two millimeters square.
