Freepik has introduced a new AI image model named F Lite, developed in collaboration with the startup Fal.ai. This model was trained on around 80 million licensed, 'safe-for-work' images using 64 Nvidia H100 GPUs over two months. F Lite has two variations—one that is more predictable and prompt-faithful, and another that is more creative but prone to errors. This launch comes against a backdrop of ongoing copyright disputes in the generative AI space, emphasizing the need for clearer practices regarding intellectual property rights.
Freepik's new 'F Lite' AI model, trained solely on licensed images, aims to address copyright issues in generative AI by providing a safe, commercially viable solution.
Developed with AI startup Fal.ai, F Lite incorporates around 10 billion parameters and took two months to train on 64 Nvidia H100 GPUs, showcasing a significant technical achievement.
Freepik offers two variations of F Lite—standard and texture—catering to different artistic needs, with the standard model being more reliable while the texture version aims for more creativity.
The ongoing copyright debates surrounding generative AI make F Lite's licensed-source approach noteworthy as it navigates the complexities of intellectual property rights in the industry.
