In the burgeoning field of AI and machine learning, where data is the new oil, Blibla stands out not merely as an innovator but as a conscientious leader. With a steadfast commitment to ethical AI development, Blibla's approach to creating state-of-the-art LoRAs (Low-Rank Adaptation models) respects both creators and license holders, ensuring that every dataset utilized has been willingly and explicitly shared for AI training.

Our journey into ethical AI is underscored by our critically acclaimed models: the Used Leather LoRA and the Eugene Atget LoRA. Each is a testament to Blibla's core philosophy of consentful AI training, leveraging the immense potential of unsplash images and Creative Commons licensed content.

Used Leather LoRA: The Texture of Consent

The Used Leather LoRA, a marvel of texture recognition, was trained exclusively on images from the Used Leather Dataset, sourced from handpicked unsplash collections. Each photograph, a testament to the rich variety of leather textures, comes with the consent of its creators, ensuring that the model's training foundation is as ethical as it is robust. You can experience the finesse of this model here.

Eugene Atget LoRA: A Glimpse into the Past, Ethically

Similarly, our Eugene Atget LoRA model breathes digital life into the Parisian streets of the 1900s, all while holding the ethical torch high. Trained on public domain images by the renowned photographer Eugène Atget, the model embodies the essence of Parisian life from a bygone era, with each image’s use sanctioned for such innovative purposes. The dataset, enriched with AI-generated captions, is a trove for AI enthusiasts and can be accessed here.

A Transparent Path to Innovation

While the tech industry grapples with the ethical implications of AI training, Blibla stands firm in its transparent use of data. Our models, built upon the latest in AI technology such as Stable Diffusion SDXL and SD 1.5, are only as good as the data they're trained on. In contrast to the critiques leveled at other models for their opaque use of data, Blibla's LoRAs are trained on datasets that are 100% consentful and publicly accessible, setting a new standard in the field.

Crafting the Future Responsibly

As we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible with AI, Blibla remains devoted to a path of responsible innovation. Our datasets and models are not just tools for creation but beacons of an ethical approach to AI—one where consent and transparency aren't afterthoughts but the foundation of every step we take.

By adopting Blibla's LoRAs, you're not just accessing a powerful tool for your creative or analytical endeavors—you're also supporting a movement that values the rights of individuals and the integrity of data in AI development. Join us on this journey and let's build a future that's not only intelligent but also principled.
