OmniGen: A Unified Approach to Image Generation

Analytics Vidhya

Generative foundation models have revolutionized Natural Language Processing (NLP), with Large Language Models (LLMs) excelling across diverse tasks. However, the field of visual generation still lacks a unified model capable of handling multiple tasks within a single framework. Existing models like Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, and Imagen excel in specific domains but rely on task-specific extensions […] The post OmniGen: A Unified Approach to Image Generation appeared first on Analytics Vidh

A Comprehensive Guide to Output Parsers

Analytics Vidhya

Output parsers are essential for converting raw, unstructured text from language models (LLMs) into structured formats, such as JSON or Pydantic models, making it easier for downstream tasks. While function or tool calling can automate this transformation in many LLMs, output parsers are still valuable for generating structured data or normalizing model outputs.
