CoSyn: The open-source tool that’s making GPT-4V-level vision AI accessible to everyone https://venturebeat.com/business/cosyn-the-open-source-tool-thats-making-gpt-4v-level-vision-ai-accessible-to-everyone/ #AI #SyntheticData #VisualInformation
Text Shot: Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence have developed a groundbreaking tool that allows open-source AI systems to match or surpass the visual understanding capabilities of proprietary models like GPT-4V and Gemini 1.5 Flash, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape between open and closed AI development. The tool, called CoSyn (Code-Guided Synthesis), addresses a critical bottleneck in AI development: the scarcity of high-quality training data for teaching machines to understand complex visual information like scientific charts, medical diagrams, and financial documents. Rather than scraping millions of images from the internet — a practice fraught with copyright and ethical concerns — CoSyn leverages the coding abilities of existing language models to generate synthetic training data.
