Neurophones appeared in Yandex Browser: they depict something that does not exist in reality

The domestic Internet giant Yandex continues to demonstrate what artificial intelligence it has developed is capable of. This time, the company decided to update its branded browser by adding new backgrounds. Their peculiarity lies in the fact that they are created by a neural network. Yandex told about this in its official blog.

The company announced that special backgrounds created using artificial intelligence have appeared in Yandex Browser. That is, all these breathtaking landscapes, mountains, fields and lakes do not really exist. They are invented and drawn by a neural network. Moreover, these are not just static pictures – if you look at the image for a few seconds, you can see how the landscape smoothly transforms – the outlines of mountains and lakes change, and wastelands are replaced by flowering meadows.

To create neurophones in Yandex, they attracted a neural network from the StyleGAN2 family, trained on landscape images from Yandex.Kartinki. After training, the AI ​​was able to generate such pictures on its own, moreover, with unusual elements. The most beautiful of them became the new backgrounds for Yandex Browser.

Neurophones are already available to all Yandex Browser users on Windows, Mac, and iOS. You can choose one background you like or turn on alternation so that the neurophones replace each other every day.
