Hi, I’m Taehoon Kim.

I left OpenAI in 2020 to go all in on diffusion models. I founded my own startup, got acquired by the fastest growing Korean gaming company, and left this year to jam with a few friends:

• Jay Mo, a design engineer crafting new AI experiences
• Changmin Lee, ios dev from SAKAMOTO DAYS
• @parkyoonoo, queen of marketing
• Seungho Nam, fuzzy AI engineer with love 🩵
• Soongyu Kwon, a KAWAI design oriented ios eng
• Chaehong Lee, Digital omnivore—exploring and building with a focus on the visual stimuli
• and more…

Preface

Images + Generative AI today is dominated by Text → Image models trained on readily available internet data. But the next wave of magical consumer experiences will come from conditional models.

Image + Condition → Image data is much harder to source, but we’re solving this scarcity through data engineering. We’re unlocking models and experiences that have not existed yet.
