Illustrating the news with AI

Vivian, a team member at Replicate, developed an interactive news application called Daily Dose of News, which combines AI-generated visualizations with current headlines. Users can select news categories and countries to generate new articles, which are refreshed every 10 seconds. The app employs VQGAN-CLIP to create images from text prompts, leveraging a unified vision and language encoder. Built with Flask, the app uses the News API for headlines and Vercel for deployment. Vivian provides a detailed account of setting up the environment, using Replicate to make predictions, and deploying the application via Vercel, encouraging others to engage and share their projects on Discord.
