This is a landmark project. To my knowledge, these are the first AI-generated images which are **entirely generated on-chain**, i.e. the model weights and inference code are inside the contract! Typically, AI art is created off-chain and published on-chain as JPGs. This work is in the same category as Autoglyphs, Terraforms, and Brotchain (code-generated and fully on-chain), but the first with AI! Well done Han! 👏

I tried this a couple years back, but I was sure I would need to store the model on IPFS and do the inference in-browser instead of on-chain (so more like ArtBlocks than Autoglyphs) https://genekogan.com/misc/dcgan/

Han is 10 steps ahead and actually managed it with a 15 kB neural net!
