TOKYO -- Sakana AI, a Japanese artificial intelligence startup, said Thursday that it has invented a new way of creating generative AI models that applies the concepts of evolution and natural selection. This approach, according to the company, allows significantly cheaper and faster AI development.
Sakana has released three generative AI models -- a large language model, an image-to-text model and an image generation model -- using the "nature-inspired" mechanism, which it calls the first of its kind in the world.
