The rise of large models has advanced the way of how we move towards to the intelligence. In the past decades, people worked on “discriminative” intelligence, that is, we predict a dog image as a “dog”. To do so, we train on a batch of dataset containing different categories with labels, and train with the goal that every output matches the corresponding classes. The great success of LLM has brought us into a new era: GenAI. Unlike the discriminative model, we generate the image “dog” given the input prompt (text, image, …). This is called generative model. ...
