Project

Offline Models to Generate Text and Images

The primary objective of this project is to understand the capabilities and limitations of offline text and image generation models and to provide actionable implementation recommendations.

There is a requirement to generate realistic fake artefacts in a way that is scalable and efficient. In some circumstances, using online text and image generation is not feasible and offline models are required. Offline models face several challenges, primarily related to limited computational resources, data access, and real-time constraints.

This project focuses on comparing various AI offline models and providing recommendations on the optimisation of each model across diverse scenarios.

Research considerations:

- The capabilities and trade-offs of each model (eg. realism, performance, response time & cost).

- The local processing resources (e,g CPU or GPU) and storage requirements.

- The prompt engineering required to generate realistic text and images.

- Prompt engineering vs. fine tuning
