AR-LDM is an AI model developed by Alibaba, University of Waterloo and Vector Institute (China and Canada), first published in November 2022. It works in the image generation domain, on tasks such as text-to-image.
Training it took an estimated 5.1×10²⁰ FLOP of compute (estimation method: hardware). The model has 1,500,000,000 parameters. Training ran on NVIDIA A100 for about 194 hours. The compute alone is estimated at $746 in 2023 dollars.
Access: Unreleased. Its weights are not openly released. It is built on top of Stable Diffusion (LDM-KL-8-G). The reference paper has 86 citations. Epoch AI rates the confidence of this record as confident.
