The Future Of Consumer Use Of Generative AI

Like many startups in the AI-powered art-generating space, NightCafe appears to be in a bit of a holding pattern. It’s bringing new models online, including video-generating models like Stable Video Diffusion. But it’s not rocking the boat too much — the unsaid reason being that a single court decision or regulation could force NightCafe to rethink its entire operation. The platform still runs some models on its own servers, including recent versions of Stable Diffusion and Ideogram. But it also integrates APIs from AI vendors that offer them, delivering what amounts to custom interfaces for third-party generators.
