- Freepik launched F Lite, a new AI image model trained on commercially licensed, safe-for-work images.
- F Lite has around 10 billion parameters and was developed with AI startup Fal.ai using 64 Nvidia H100 GPUs over two months.
- The model comes in two versions: standard (predictable, prompt-faithful) and texture (creative, error-prone but better textures).
- F Lite was trained on an internal dataset of 80 million images and is openly available for developers to improve.
- Running F Lite requires a GPU with at least 24GB of VRAM.
- Freepik joins other companies like Adobe, Getty Images, and Shutterstock in developing AI models on licensed data.
- Generative AI faces copyright lawsuits, with companies arguing fair use while creators demand compensation.
