Location (mandatory): Menlo Park, CA • Despite rapid advancements in generative AI, achieving high-quality generation remains a challenge. This is primarily due to the scarcity of high-quality training data and the lack of reliable and robust evaluation metrics that can effectively capture subtle details in model outputs, which can significantly impact user experience. • Our team is dedicated to developing comprehensive data curation and evaluation solutions to enhance our model across various quality dimensions. These include visual quality, prompt adherence, identity preservation, naturalness, and visual text generation, among others. We employ diverse approaches, such as sourcing billions of images and identifying suitable ones through a combination of manual annotations and signals from machine learning models. We also utilize both manual and automated evaluation methods to pinpoint quality gaps and data requirements.
