Bria 2024 Wrapped: A Year of Visual Gen AI Innovation

Written by Bria.ai | Dec 24, 2024 9:29:37 PM

As we wrap up an incredible year of innovation in visual AI, let's examine how Bria's platform evolved in 2024. From breakthrough foundation models to advanced AI image editing capabilities, we've expanded our Gen AI development platform to transform how enterprises build and scale visual AI solutions. 

Our platform innovations have enabled faster time-to-market, reduced production costs, mitigated AI development risk, and helped teams deliver high-quality visual content at scale—all while maintaining complete control and confidence in outputs. From product visualization for e-commerce to adding scale to content automation, we're helping businesses build more controllable, predictable, and risk-free visual-gen AI solutions.

Game-Changing Releases

 

State-of-the-art and Open-Source Background Removal Model

Our new SOTA background removal model, RMBG 2.0, represents a significant leap forward in AI image editing and background removal. Built on the innovative BiRefNet architecture, the model achieves pixel-perfect separation of foreground and background elements even in complex scenes and challenging imagery. The model is open source for non-commercial use and commercially licensable. Developers can also access RMBG 2.0 through our APIs and iFrames to build precise, production-ready background removal into their applications.

 

 

Advanced Eraser and GenFill Pipeline

The new Eraser and Generative Fill (GenFill) image editing APIs are built on our Bria 2.3 foundation model along with our Inpainting and GenFill ControlNets. These APIs enable sophisticated object removal and content generation while preserving visual continuity with surrounding elements. Developers can build pipelines that seamlessly remove unwanted elements and generate new content, making them ideal for content editing systems where maintaining image context is critical.


Product Shot Generation Innovation


Our latest product shot generation APIs extend Bria's image editing and generation capabilities into industry-specific workflows. Perfect for eCommerce and CPG, the system preserves exact product fidelity while enabling programmatic control over presentation elements. This makes it possible to build automated product photography pipelines that maintain consistency across large catalogs without compromising product accuracy, even when editing at scale.

 


2024’s Platform Evolution

 

Foundation Models

Our foundation models form the core of Bria's platform, enabling developers to build sophisticated visual AI applications with complete control and confidence. In 2024, we significantly expanded these capabilities:

  • Bria 3.0 Text-to-image
  • Bria 2.3 Text-to-image
  • Bria 2.3 Fast LoRA
  • Bria 2.2 HD
  • 5+ ControlNets and Adapters

 

Image Generation

Creating production-ready images requires more than just text prompts. In 2024, we developed generation APIs, iframes, and models to give developers further control over visual outputs:

  • Reimagine
  • Text-to-Vector Illustrations
  • Prompt Enhancer

 

Image and Video Editing

Modifying and enhancing existing visual content is crucial for production workflows. Our expanded editing models, APIs, and iframes provide sophisticated manipulation capabilities while maintaining maintaining visual continuity and consistency

  • Remove Background 2.0
  • Video Remove Background 2.0
  • Eraser
  • Generative Fill (GenFill)
  • Image Expansion
  • Background Generation 2.0

 

Product Shot Generation

The product shot APIs and iFrames offer advanced tools for programmatic control over product visualization and editing. In 2024, we expanded our suite:

  • Product Shot by Text
  • Product Shot by Image
  • Product Cut Out
  • Product Shadow
  • Product Packshot


Throughout 2024, each release has strengthened our complete visual Gen AI development platform. Every component of Bria’s platform—from models, APIs, SDKs, and iframes—is designed to work seamlessly together. This interoperability and developer-minded approach gives builders of all types the flexibility to create the applications they need while maintaining predictability, quality, and control across all their outputs.

Industry Recognition in 2024

Bria's commitment to responsible and innovative visual AI development earned significant recognition this year. In addition to our inclusion in AWS Sagemaker Jumpstart and Microsoft Azure AI Foundry, we've earned notable recognitions from our partners, including:

 

Looking Ahead

As we approach 2025, we're committed to expanding our platform, further enhancing our current suite of products, and exploring new modalities. Stay tuned for more innovations that will help you build the future of visual AI.
