Unconventional AI releases Un-0, an image generator built on simulated coupled oscillators

Unconventional AI/Oscillator-based AI computer

Unconventional AI released Un-0, a family of image models whose core is a network of coupled oscillators rather than a standard neural network. The best model scores FID 6.74 on ImageNet 64x64. It runs on a GPU simulation of the hardware; no oscillator chip or measured energy saving exists yet. Weights and code were released.

• Models range from 1,024 to 16,384 oscillators and 1.3M to 322M parameters.
• Best result: FID 6.74 on class-conditional ImageNet 64x64.
• Trained on Nvidia B200 GPUs; the largest model took 640 GPU-hours.
• A simulation only: the 1,000x energy saving is still a target.
