Ask HN: Best AI API's for Developers?

3 points by fredrivett 3 years ago | 3 comments

Hey folks, like many of you I'm a bit mind-blown at how AI has exploded in the last few months, and as a developer I'm keen to stay up to date on what the best developer tools/packages and API's are (whether open or closed source).

I'll start with an obvious one:

# Stable Diffusion (open source)

Stable Diffusion is a machine learning, text-to-image model to generate digital images from natural language descriptions.

Not sure if this is the kind of thing you're talking about, but the big cloud providers offer a host of AI/ML APIs for a range of different things.

For example: https://aws.amazon.com/machine-learning/ai-services/ https://cloud.google.com/products/ai

fwiw, IBM Watson has more nuanced or granular APIs

Another great place to look is Open AI’s example list:
