    AI art generator, Playground, has released an upgraded version, Playground v2, which the developers say outperforms competitors in its quality and creativity.

    Users can visit the website and compare the results of using Playground v2 with those from other platforms, such as Stable Diffusion XL, via a series of prompts that ask users to compare images.

    The company has also released weights for the pre-training of AI models, meaning those with fewer computational resources can use the tech.

    Additionally, the company has devised a new benchmark test for AI image generation, MJHQ-30K, which measures FID (Frechet Inception Distance) scores to assess the quality of the output.

    The release is part of Playground’s mission to make AI more accessible, and the company has said it would like to hear from people who use the new tools.
