In its latest move, letting users exercise their creative potential to generate stock photos the way they wish, all without worries of copyright infringement, Freepik has released a new generative AI image model, F Lite.
The online design platform's new AI stock photos generator is built on its own commercially licensed, safe-for-work visuals.
F Lite's launch has come to offer developers and creators a better, legal alternative to the enormously expanding landscape of AI-generated photos, which often go through copyright disputes.
“F Lite was created to be openly accessible and safe to build upon,” said the company, adding that their “aim wasn’t to beat major players but to offer a transparent, adaptable model grounded in proper licensing.”
Unlike typical generative AI tools, which are often hit with lawsuits for training on unlicensed, copyrighted data picked from the internet, F Lite is trained on datasets from Freepik’s own collection of around 80 million images.
Freepik's AI image generator: F Lite's versions
Developed in partnership with AI startup Fal.ai, F Lite has been trained over two months using 64 Nvidia H100 GPUs. The tool has roughly 10 billion parameters and is available in two versions: standard and texture.
The standard version offers more prompt-accurate results, whereas the texture model is less predictable but is better at creative compositions, according to Freepik.
