Björn Ommer Receives the German AI Award

LMU News

Our PI Björn Ommer has won 2024 German AI Prize awarded by the newspaper WELT. This award in the category “Innovation” is given for groundbreaking achievements in the research and development of artificial intelligence.

The jury singled out the image generation system developed by Björn Ommer and his team for praise. Called Stable Diffusion, this system has democratized generative AI by becoming so compact and powerful as to remove the need for expensive large-capacity computers and being accessible to all through its open-source software.

Congrats from us!
