Today is the day. Nightshade v1.0 is ready. Performance tuning is done, UI fixes are done.
You can download Nightshade v1.0 from
Please read the what-is page and also the User's Guide on how to run Nightshade. It is a bit more involved than Glaze

By now, I'm guessing most have already seen the news on our new project, Nightshade. Lots of artists sharing it, but here's the article from MIT Technology Review (thank you to the wonderful
@Melissahei

Well that didn't take long...
Glaze 2.0 is here. Improved robustness for all art styles but particularly flat color styles. Addressed patch artifacts. Improved efficiency (~50% speedup) and support for Mac GPUs. Mac M1/2/3 support is here, Mac Intel coming this week.
Glaze news:
We're getting ready to do a major update to Glaze. Glaze 2.0 makes fundamental changes to the core glaze algorithm to improve its robustness on all models, increases protection strength for anime/flat color styles, and even runs a bit faster than Glaze 1.

Artists, calling your attention to a new tool. Mist works internally similar to glaze, but demonstrated stronger results against Img2Img. We believe bec it runs many more iterations than Glaze's maximum rendering setting. Cool results & glaze will add these settings n next update
ARTISTS!! Good news. Here’s another tool to help you protect your art with Image Cloaking. Check it out!!

Quick thread on common questions.
1. no, NS does not scrape/copy/train on your art. It works perfectly fine in offline mode. Install, turn off wifi, then run. After dedicating 14+ months to this, folks who accuse us of trying to steal art will be blocked without a response.

Quick notes
1. probably not best idea to announce an image as poison, kinda defeats the purpose
2. a shaded image is not glazed. If you want protection from mimicry, do not post your art with only nightshade.
3. NS is memory sensitive. If u have big apps running, close them first

Hi all!
We've been busy on Glaze related projects. Happy to announce that webglaze, the Glaze web service is now ready for new users. If you already have a GPU and it works well, then please keep using that. If you have a mac, or no GPU or no computer even, webglaze can help. 🧵

Another big day. The big big Glaze 1.0 update is out. New core optimization function makes Glaze MUCH more subtle. Now works well for most flat-color styles, comics, anime, cartoons. Nearly invisible on most textured art images. Also brand new website!

Folks. This version does not include glaze. We will work on an integrated version of glaze+ns. For now if you want benefits of both, you should shade first, glaze last. But note that artifacts might be more visible. The integrated version will fix this issue.

It's such a privilege to be able to work with some of the most skilled and talented artists out there today. Greg and many others who not only produce breathtaking artwork, but are so generous in their advocacy to protect other artists in the field.
It’s been a while since the Nightshade premiere, but I finally had a free while to apply it to one of my recent paintings and I strongly recommend to you to do the same 😊 Link to the Nightshade:

Highly recommend you read the User's Guide to understand how to use the poison tag.
NS is very similar to Glaze in general tools used. So the usual robustness applies. Cropping, resampling, compression etc etc have minimal impact on NS poison.

This is... upsetting
From what I know, Univ of Chicago receives requests from AI companies for our students/faculty data all the time, and takes an active role in preventing our data from being scraped / trained. But a school actively offering student/faculty data for $ 😠
so i guess this is a thing now
universities running ads to resell students' data
for training llms

Hi all.
Quick update on Nightshade. We have a beta app, but it is still using too much GPU memory, and the user interface is still messy. I'm sending it to a few people for closed beta testing. Hopefully we'll get this issues ironed out soon.

Hi all. In addition to Glaze2.0, we are working on a project extending Glaze-like protection to short videos and animations. (Our prior user study led to a paper to be presented at CCS 2024).

What is Nightshade? It's a tool that performs a data poisoning attack against generative AI image models. Poisoning is not new. Poisoning genAI models at scale is new. You can read the MIT TR article for the high level story. For details, here's the paper:

Note to anime/manga artist friends. Glaze effects will show up easily on clean-color styles. So please try very low intensity values if you can. start with 0 or 3. If you get errors, try several times before you give up on a specific intensity value. Anything that passes is ok!

This is so important. Artists are the canary in coal mine, because images are easier to target, & artists have less labor organization/resources/lawyers. But creativity is aspirational and a core part of being human. Ask anyone you know who creates for a living about genAI.
In this week's newsletter, I argue that artists are the canary in the coal mine. Their fight belongs to anyone who has ever posted anything they care about online. Tools like Nightshade could be a first step in tipping the power balance back to us.

Why Nightshade? Because power asymmetry between AI companies and content owners is ridiculous. If you're a movie studio, gaming company, art gallery, or indep artist, the only thing you can do to avoid being sucked into a model is 1) opt-out lists, and 2) do-not-scrape directives

Hi all. We learned today there is a system called Sieve which is a commission platform for artists. For some reason, they choose to call their protection process "glaze." Please note they are not affiliated with our lab, UChicago, our group or the Glaze/Nightshade projects.

Important to note that image generation is THE most expensive (in environmental harm) of all generative AI tasks, which in turn are much worse than traditional AI (e.g. discriminatory classifiers that don't have ethical questions and piles of class action lawsuits).

People making up stuff about Glaze is not new, but claiming Glaze is genAI is definitely new😂. If anyone is wondering, Glaze includes licenses for StableDiff, because we analyze it to identify its weaknesses to guide Glaze's disruptive changes. Glaze has no genAI & no training.
@pehdrigues
@TheGlazeProject
no it’s not.
They scraped the internet to make Gkaze too.
By using Glaze you are give them permission to use your images. The same way you give Instagram the right to use your images too.

None of these mechanisms are enforceable, or even verifiable. Companies have shown that they can disregard opt-outs without a thought. But even if they agreed but acted otherwise, no one can verify or prove it (at least not today). These tools are toothless.

Just to put a simple label on this. The former requires ONLY discriminatory classification, ie “traditional” AI, and the latter is generative AI. People need to understand that nearly all the major selling points for how AI can do good is traditional AI, and NOT generative AI

hey all...
Heads up that we might take webglaze offline for a bit (and folks should pause their Glaze app too). We've been running tests on our "self-test" that determines when glaze is producing strong enough effects. The findings are more inconsistent than we expected.

No artist is able to force training data into a model. Only model trainers can voluntarily *take* your images (shaded or not), against your wishes, to train their models for profit. This is not a virus, it does not infect/affect any model against their wishes.
2
52
877
😝 PS: folks, Nightshade adds a small amount of poison to each image. Its effects only take over a model when it ingests a lot of shaded images on the same prompt/concept. For those claiming NS is ineffective after training on a single image, please go read the paper first.

69
873
2. Yes we know many artists run on mobile devices. No we will not make android/iOS apps. Yes we WILL integrate NS into WebGlaze when we finish our tests.
3. NS has same robustness properties as Glaze. Cropping, resizing, screenshots, pixel smoothing all have minimal impact on NS.

So now everyone knows why we've been so quiet for the last few weeks. With the webglaze update to v1.11 and Nightshade, that's why we're 1 month behind on Webglaze invite requests on twitter (sorry, we're working on it!)

And just to be clear. Yes, I have talked to a number of lawyers, both private sector and public sector, including the UChicago university high counsel. Also had the pleasure of giving an invited guest lecture at the law school in the Copyright class. That was a great experience!

We expect artists and content owners to make use of every mechanism to protect their IP, e.g. optouts and robots.txt. For companies that actually respect these, Nightshade will likely have minimal or zero impact on them. Nightshade is for the other AI model trainers who do not.

825
The Nightshade paper is public. Any one is free to read it, understand it, and do followup research. It is a technique, and can be used for applications in different domains. We hope it will be used ethically to disincentivize unauthorized data scraping, not for malicious attacks

I work regularly w/ a number of lawyers on legal matters, and also with regulatory agencies whose main teams are mostly made up of lawyers. And not a single one of them is worried for me or the artists I work with. So I really appreciate the unsolicited concern, but we're good!

The Concept Art Association is fundraising to gather resources for numerous advocacy efforts on behalf of artists/creatives everywhere. Reminder that without CAA's efforts (like this townhall), Glaze would literally not exist. (You can see birth of Glaze 1hr 26 into this meeting)
3/ Back in 2022 the CAA was one of the first artists orgs to realize how detrimental & exploitative GenAI was to its community. They quickly mobilized via townhalls like this one

It's worth noting that the MIT TR article includes a result that represents the "dumb" version of the attack. The optimized version that is Nightshade requires roughly 5X fewer samples to achieve the same result.
@katriaraden
@TheGlazeProject
It would take thousands of images to even affect a base model (which is impressive; a fraction of the billions of stolen images could ruin a dataset.)
If enough people use this it could work. I doubt it, but its a nice thought :) Hope I'm wrong, this could be a great tool.

Helpful tip from
@aimeecozza
. To minimize finegrain artifacts, send PNG to Glaze and get PNG back to minimize JPG artifacts. Almost like processing photos in RAW.

13. Finally, I understand the urge to lash out at model trainers. But please be responsible. Sign up for opt-out lists and use do-not-scrape directives. Make sure that if a model is poisoned, it is because they went against your explicit wishes to not be trained.

Hi all. Big update thread.
We put webGlaze into maintenance mode a few days ago to test/rethink our self-test mechanism. The result is an update (v1.11) that removed the self-test in favor of a precomputed intensity level for each art style.

Hey all. More Nightshade news!!
We (by that I really mean
@shawnshan_

New download is now available for Macs. Nightshade 1.0.1 supports GPUs on Macs with M1/M2/M3 chips.
13
184
654
7. Unfortunately NS still relies on PyTorch, so Nvidia GTX 1660/1650/1550 still do not work. Sorry. We will eventually fix this in time.
8. If you cannot wait for glaze/NS combo (forthcoming), then we recommend shade first, then Glaze to prioritize Glaze protection over poison
9
34
653
11. Sorry we have not yet made a package for Intel Macs. We will work on that shortly. Should not be a long wait.
12. Is it worth it to glaze/NS images already scraped by models? yes, models are always looking to scrape more images. They often have trouble identifying duplicates.

Sigh. Apologies. But glaze app v1.1 has a bug. It glazed too hard, at too high an intensity. We fixed the bug for Mac version (updated online to v1.1.1) but the windows version will get updated later today/Sunday). Please download the v1.1.1 version later today.

10. In terms of image quality, nightshade uses same perturbation limits as Glaze (and even lower intensity values are allowable). So visual artifacts are at most equivalent to Glaze, and in most cases, more subtle/harder to see than Glaze effects.

This seems to be the most recent and most complete article on the increasing phenomenon of unauthorized hijacking of voices. Another creative industry under siege by generative AI. We will study, learn, and see if we can help.
new: Voice actors are getting replaced by AI. These often faceless pros narrate audio books + commercials. Now, companies can buy clones of their voice, use AI tools to make them say anything + save thousands. The samples aren't perfect, but many may quit.

Following the introduction of CaraGlaze, some questioned the decision to integrate with Cara. Isn't it safer to never integrate with anything? Sure. Adding any new stakeholders always increases potential risk, even w/ end-to-end measures like encryption, e.g. side channels. 1/n

Whew. a few days of non-stop invite generation for WebGlaze, and we're over 700 users. At least pace is slowing down a bit. Thanks to our artist friends for helping scan so many requests. Thankfully a number of folks had Cara profiles. Fast ID for human artists!

We will release an updated app and also update WebGlaze at roughly the same time. ETA is soon, certainly by end of the month and quite likely in the next week or so. If you're planning to glaze a lot of art, I would recommend waiting for 2.0.

In the last year, I've had the absolute privilege of working alongside amazingly skilled artists, who also happen to be exceptional human beings. I do not presume to speak for artists. But if there's anyone I trust to understand the issues & advocate for artists, it's

You claim to speak and act for artists, yet when allies & artists continue to state you’re missing pivotal information, how your dismissive stance on copyrights and insistence of opt out is damaging, you then mute, hide and ignore? You’re not the representatives you think you are

Ok, the wait was not long.
has been updated with the Windows GPU version. The download is bigger (sorry), because ginormous PyTorch GPU libraries. But so far the speedup seems ridiculous.
Have fun. Let us know w/ comments here how well it works for you.
Super quick note.
We'll be making a windows GPU version for glaze very soon. Initial tests show it's a ridiculous speedup. So if you're grinding through a backlog of images to glaze, might be worth waiting a day or so. It's a bigger download but a LOT faster.

Hi all. A couple of short notes for those using webglaze:
1. is the standard url to go to after you have created your account.
2. some have seen occasional server 500 errors. 1 helpful user helped identify potential cause: japanese unicode in filename.

Hi all. Quick couple of updates on (Web)glaze.
1. We put up a new document explaining how intensity values work in Glaze and how to use errors to guide your intensity parameters in Glaze. Page is here:
2. We increased max Glazes/day for all users.

WebGlaze update
Based on user feedback, we have tuned our default render time higher to better find protective Glazes under lower intensity constraints. New render is now equivalent to max render on the Glaze app, but adaptive (shortcuts when successful Glaze is found).

Ok. Glaze app bug fixed. Windows and Mac versions both at v1.1.1. Download away and hopefully there are no more surprises or issues.

@Icemanmodeler
that "trash" is what Glaze makes AI models see when they try to train on the glazed image. It is designed to look like a version of the image that is stylistically completely distorted from the original.
