We have given the name Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen. A.I.) to all the technologies that are related to the generation of data; text, images, video, 3d models, software etc
Over the last few years there has been an explosion of A.I. models and generative tools.
How to start? and how to keep up?

First and foremost – a site – huggingface.com is the main portal to the gen AI world. All the Open Source models and tools are there together with benchmarks and the famous top list of AI models.
Register and explore the various features. Under spaces you can select and use hundreds of thousands of models. Bookmark and visit huggingface often.

Then visit and use the commercial models. You can use the free version of the models although most commercial models have significant benefits if you pay for a subscription plan.
