Amazon has launched an upgraded model of its in-house image-generating mannequin, Titan Picture Generator, for AWS clients utilizing its Bedrock generative AI platform.
Merely referred to as Titan Picture Generator v2, the brand new mannequin brings with it a number of new capabilities, AWS principal developer advocate Channy Yun explains in a weblog put up. Customers can “information” the pictures they generate utilizing reference photos, edit present visuals, take away backgrounds and generate variations of photos, says Yun.
“Titan Picture Generator v2 can intelligently detect and section a number of foreground objects,” Yun writes. “With the Titan Picture Generator v2, you’ll be able to generate color-conditioned photos based mostly on a coloration palette. [And] you need to use the picture conditioning function to form your creations.”
Titan Picture Generator v2 helps picture conditioning, optionally taking in a reference picture and specializing in particular visible traits in that picture, like edges, object outlines and structural parts. The mannequin can be fine-tuned utilizing reference photos like a product or firm brand, in order that generated photos preserve a constant aesthetic.
AWS continues to stay obscure about which information, precisely, it makes use of to coach its Titan Picture Generator fashions. The corporate beforehand advised TechCrunch solely that it’s a mixture of proprietary and licensed information.
Few distributors readily reveal such info; they see coaching information as a aggressive benefit and thus preserve it and data referring to it a intently guarded secret. Coaching information particulars are additionally a possible supply of IP-related lawsuits, one other disincentive to disclose a lot.

Within the firm’s current second-quarter earnings name, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy stated he’s nonetheless “very bullish” on generative AI tech like AWS’ Titan fashions, regardless of indicators of second-guessing from the enterprise and the mounting prices associated to coaching, fine-tuning and serving fashions.
“Within the generative AI area, it’s going to get massive quick,” he stated, “and it’s largely all going to be constructed from the get-go within the cloud.”
