Generative AI is boosting our cognitive abilities and transforming how we create and innovate across various industries.

Generative AI Models are algorithms that can generate new content by learning patterns from existing data. They are widely used in applications like text generation, image synthesis, music creation, and more. Below is a categorized list of the four major types of generative models, along with explanations of how they work and famous examples.

  1. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)
  2. Variational Autoencoders (VAEs)
  3. Transformer-based Models
  4. Diffusion Models
  5. Multimodal LLMs

1. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)

GANs consist of two neural networks, the Generator and the Discriminator, that work in opposition…
