The KOALA AI model has been released and can run on 8GB memory, generating high-quality images in just 2 seconds. Developed by a South Korean scientific team, this new artificial intelligence image generation model uses 'knowledge distillation' technology, reducing parameters to 700 million, enabling image generation with only 8GB of memory. The generation time has been shortened to 2 seconds, making the KOALA model faster than OpenAI's DALL-E model.
