Here is the dirty secret of this category: almost every “best AI headshot generator” article you have read was published by a company that conveniently ranks itself at the top. Headshots.com grades itself an A. HeadshotPro ranks itself number one. Headshotphoto.io does the same. We sell no headshot tool, so this ranking of the best AI headshot generators owes nothing to anyone.

As we’ve been working through this series introducing SwiftUI, we’ve so far made an app that allows us to view our team from a list and dive into specific members’ detailed profiles.
However, all our users can do with the app is view dynamic data in a very static UI. The only interaction we’ve provided is the navigation into a team member’s detailed profile.

As we make progress in the era of edge computing, the demand for machine learning on mobile and edge devices seems to be increasing quite rapidly.
ML-enabled services such as recommendation engines, image and speech recognition, and natural language processing on the edge (to name a few) are growing, as is the need for processing large amounts of data with reduced latency.

A few months ago, Snapchat released a new feature where AI developers and creatives can easily integrate their own custom lenses using machine learning models — one of these features is the ability to track labeled objects on the view and project fun and immersive AR effects. We’ll cover this ML task in this article.

I’m a software engineer by trade. But I seem to keep dipping my toes into the machine learning and data science communities. There are some awesome libraries out there, but I admit I’ve had a difficult time wrapping my head around many of them.
Surprisingly, it’s not the math. It’s actually the code itself that I find myself getting stuck on. It’s understandable. Tensor algebra is hard enough without needing to worry about style guides and code reviews.

Machine learning unlocks a wide range of possibilities when it comes to AR development—nobody has proved that more than Snapchat, whose immersive augmented reality Lenses work so well in large part because of the ML models running underneath them (things like face tracking, background segmentation, and more).
With SnapML, though, Snapchat has opened up this expansive capability to its community of Lens Creators, allowing them to implement custom machine learning models in their Lenses.

Lens Studio’s functionalities can be extended by writing your own custom code in JavaScript. For instance, you can write your own code to target various events in your Lens and trigger specific actions.
Lens Studio is already powerful without custom code, but the ability to bring your own code to the platform is just amazing. Without further ado, let’s jump straight in and see how this can be done.
Privacy has always been a hot-button topic of discussion when it comes to the age-old debate of iOS vs Android.
While I’m not going to pick a side here, Android has made some radical changes in recent years concerning privacy, and the overhaul of the permission handling system is probably the biggest one of those changes.
Below is the transcript for the above video explaining the step-by-step process of downloading Fritz AI pre-trained models and opening them in Lens Studio.
“Hey everyone, my name is Emilie and I’m the content manager for Heartbeat here at Fritz AI. Today I’m going to show you just how easy it is to create a Lens Studio profile and open one of our many pre-trained SnapML models.
