TokenVerse: Multi-Concept Personalization in Token Modulation Space by Google

Feels like a moodboarding multiplier for some design disciplines, if these aren't cherry-picked / transfer to other domains.

Pretty interesting.

Seems like you could apply similar ideas to text too.

Something like this could make creatives feel more in control and less averse to AI image generation.

Not just a moodboard if you can highlight the words you want in your output.

This looks like an excellent step towards being able to apply consistency to generated images across a series.

It looks as if it would trivially integrate into Whisk, which already has a similar feature for defining an outputs “subjects” “scene” and “style”.

“Code coming soon” from Google means basically never.

I don’t understand why they keep making these announcements and then just sitting on the results.

This is an immediately commercially useful product even as an API. You could make a mobile app for kids to “create their own cartoon story”.

Someone else will have to reproduce this for it to see the light of day.

We might eventually see the code for the models and inference, but I do doubt we’ll see training code or be granted access to training data. Google is pretty bad at this.

I have the same feeling but I wonder if it's actually true. Do we have any examples of announcements where the code was never released?

[eichi]

Any update?

My eyes are so tired... I read it as "TolkienVerse" (wishful thinking took over actual letters I guess) and I thought WOW!!!!! that is amazing!!!! When I clicked and saw "a dog wearing a hat".. uff...

Seems good tool for automated PowerPoint generation but I believe the content is much more important.

So why not automate the attachment of images to concentrate on the more important tasks? I hope the code will be available soon!

Looks like it lets you transfer textures, poses, and general "vibe of object" stuff, but still doesn't let you control composition.

Overall the example images still look like overly corporate slop.

Storytelling with characters is a huge selling point

If it worked with people, they’d show people.

The second example in the "Results" section includes a human.
