Generative models like GANs have transformed the AI landscape, leading to apps like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion. NVIDIA's GauGAN, powered by GANs, is an AI demo for photorealistic image generation. It led to the development of the NVIDIA Canvas app, which uses AI to turn simple brushstrokes into realistic landscapes. Canvas offers nine different styles, each with 10 variations and 20 materials to play with. The app also features a Panorama mode for creating 360-degree images. NVIDIA's generative AI technology is transforming gaming, videoconferencing, and interactive experiences. NVIDIA offers other AI-powered apps like Broadcast and resources for developers and venture capitalists. [29132d1d]
