Recently, a mysterious "red_panda" codename has been released.AI image generation modelAchieved amazing results in benchmarking Artificial Analysis, a crowdsourced analytics platform, outperforming products from industry leaders such as Midjourney, Black Forest Labs and OpenAI by a significant margin.
According to the Artificial Analysis platform, "red_panda" led the text-to-image test with a score of 1,244, exceeding the second-ranked Flux1.1Pro of Black Forest Labs by about 40 Elo points. It is worth mentioning that this scoring system is derived from the chess player's strength evaluation system, which is now used forAI ModelsPerformance comparison. From the actual battle data, "red_panda"'s win rate is 9% higher than Flux's, showing a clear technical advantage.
In terms of performance, "red_panda" is also impressive. The model takes an average of 7 seconds to complete the generation of an image, which is more than 100 times more efficient than OpenAI's DALL-E3. Comparison of the actual test samples shows that the images generated by "red_panda" have a high degree of realism, almost completely free of the unnatural traces common in traditional AI works, and even surpass the Flux model known for its realism. At the same time, the model's ability to understand and execute text prompts is also outstanding.
Currently, "red_panda" is still in the closed testing phase and is not yet available for public use. Regarding the development team behind it, there are many speculations in the industry: some people think that it may be the incarnation of Midjourney-V7, and some analysts point out that it may be a new work from a Chinese technology company. However, from the point of view of technical characteristics, the model is more likely to be based on the real Lora fine-tuning model trained on SD3.5large turbo, rather than from a mainstream domestic technology companies.
With the rapid development of AI image generation technology, the emergence of "red_panda" has once again promoted the improvement of industry standards. Where this mysterious new player comes from and how its leading technology will affect the development trend of the whole industry are still worth continuing to pay attention to.
