- R · What Makes It Special
- Sber AI and AIRI's Kandinsky 3.0, an open text-to-image latent diffusion model with 11.9 billion parameters that, compared with Kandinsky 2.x, uses a U-Net twice as large and a text encoder ten times larger and drops the diffusion mapping, improving text understanding and specific domains in side-by-side human comparisons; it adds inpainting, super-resolution, image editing and image-to-video, and the distilled Kandinsky 3.1 generates in 4 steps, 20 times faster.
