๐Ethereum's co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, is all in for TiTok, a new image compression method that's not your teen's dance app. This tech marvel shrinks image sizes, making blockchain storage a piece of cake. ๐ฐ
Buterin, on Farcaster, said, "320 bits is basically a hash. Small enough to go on chain for every user." This could be a game-changer for storing profile pictures and NFTs. ๐ผ๏ธ
Developed by ByteDance and Munich's tech geniuses, TiTok uses AI to compress an image into 32 bits without losing quality. It's a 1D image tokenization framework that breaks the 2D grid constraints, leading to faster sampling and competitive generation quality.
TiTok's "compact latent representation" can yield more efficient and effective representations than conventional techniques. The method can represent an image with 8 to 64 times fewer tokens than 2D tokenizers.
So, what's your take on this? Will TiTok revolutionize blockchain storage? Let's hash it out in the comments! #DeFi #Web3 #BlockchainTech
