Old Models turns early image generators into a playable archive
The Old Models Foundation lets you run and compare landmark image-generation systems in a browser sandbox, giving researchers and creators a practical way to study how the medium’s visual habits formed. Its timeline includes reconstructed NumPy implementations, recovered checkpoints, and original-style controls: DRAW updates a canvas step by step, pix2pix turns edges into images, and BigGAN generates 512-pixel ImageNet scenes from class labels and random seeds.
