Learn to use generative AI techniques to create novel text, images, audio, and even music with this practical, handson book. Readers will understand how stateoftheart generative models work, how to finetune and adapt them to their needs, and how to combine existing building blocks to create new models and creative applications in different domains. This goto book introduces theoretical concepts followed by guided practical applications, with extensive code samples and easytounderstand illustrations. You'll learn how to use open source libraries to utilize transformers and diffusion models, conduct code exploration, and study several existing projects to help guide your work. Build and customize models that can generate text and images Explore tradeoffs between using a pretrained model and finetuning your own model Create and utilize models that can generate, edit, and modify images in any style Customize transformers and diffusion models for multiple creative purposes Train models that can reflect your own unique style
