Happy New Year! Thank you so much for watching! What are your AI Predictions for 2024? Will we get open source upscalers even better than this?

[DuncanBentleyOfficial]

Upscayle is just a regular upscaler like Topaz gigapixel but Magnific actually rerenders a whole new image with new details. For instance if you generate and image of a mob of people the faces will be messed up and Magnific will add the faces in where as upscayle just blows it up without adding new detail.

Called it. Nothing beats 16x Upscayling with 0 artifacts, open sourced & locally with models to suit each art style.
Edit: they are also working on a video version too (info on the wiki)

Thanks for keeping it real and not being bought by big AI ;)

I agree, Upscayl is fantastic if you basically want no changes to the image and just want it upscaled. It, sadly, doesn't do enhancement as far as I can tell. I REALLY would love something like Krea's image enhancer locally installed. The wait times for Krea's enhancer is quite long at times.

Videos like this is why being subscribed to Matt is a must. Especially this year going into 2024. Already starting off with a banger.

Magnifc is absolutely amazing, but it's pricetag is astronimical to the point of unfair - and even mostly negating how amazing it is. But I think with its success it's clear that upscaling with a tinge of AI 'hallucination' adding details is definitely the way to go. I hope all the AI art generation apps both paid and open source (specifically talking Midjourney and SD) take notice and also simplify the process in achieving similar results as Magnific.

All of that said, an app like Upscayl is already mostly there. And allowing you to install locally? Wow. Very much looking forward to any new updates they come out with throughout this year.

I'm an aboslute upscaling addict now cause it makes both photography, art, and AI generations look so good! Even adding Photoshop generative fill to the mix - the upscalers make the images look more uniform. I love it.

Happy New Year! And keep up the great work. This is going to be a wild year for AI for sure.

I was using Krea a bunch last night, upscaling old game characters. It's super cool to turn 90s-early 2000s pixelated / low res characters into photo realistic versions.

in settings "Read Guide" --> user guide --> Custom Models --> "Custom Models Repository" they have more models ready to download and use.

I have been following your channel since the beginning of 2023. Thank you for all the tutorias you have shared with us. I hope you keep teaching us in 2024 ! Happy 2024

I've been using this for quite a while. Did a video of it a couple of months ago. It is pretty nice. There's even another one that's Mac only that is just as good, if not better. Made a video on that one too.

would love to see some Gigapixel comparisons since everyone has seemed to forgot about them

[gameswithoutfrontears]

Great tool for quick and hassle free upscaling. Thanks for sharing. An update to this with a little bit of an imagining refiner built in would be great to take it to the next level.

[anthony_leckie]

Thank you, Matt. I have been looking for a good and consistently upscaler. Always glad to see a video from you.

[jeffbull]

Great video, this is perfect. Been wanting something like this for a while which just takes finished images and upscales it keeping the details identical!

[PleaseOpenSourceAI]

LLM and image generation running inside games and being major selling points for them

[ikvyrgf]

So, it is basically a free Topaz Labs upscaler. I'm still waiting for a creative upscale of the same caliber as Magnific.

[I-Dophler]

Excellent breakdown, Matt! I agree with you on GPT-5 being a big player for 2024. Your insights on AI upscaling are spot-on. It's astonishing how these free alternatives compete with pricey options like Magnific AI. The local upscale running on personal hardware for free is a game-changer, especially with the flexibility to add new models in the future. It's an exciting time for AI advancements, and your content is always a great source for staying updated. Keep up the fantastic work! 👍

[thewebstylist]

YES!! As much as was blown away by Magnific, no way I was adding another subscription and at their insane rate SO patience was my plan! Thank U my Ai bro!$

[coryreeve]

Gave this a try on my machine (modest 8GB card) and it upscaled to 4K in under 5 seconds.

Awesome stuff! Thanks for the recommendation!

Very interesting video Matt - love the way it transformed a photo of a friend into an oil painting.
