Training Data & Ethics
I train my models exclusively on synthetic data, reinforcement learning, and work that has been permitted to me for AI training purposes. I do not train on unauthorized or copyrighted works. However, I cannot guarantee that the base models I build on top of do not contain unauthorized work, that’s unfortunately beyond my control.
My approach to AI development is guided by respect for human work, ethics, and responsibility. Any similarity to existing art styles or character designs is unintentional and coincidental. If you believe one of my models unintentionally resembles your work or another creator’s work, please email contact@novaml.ai.
I generally view artificial intelligence as a tool rather than a replacement. This directly influences my decisions when making models, and is a primary reason why powerful models like the Hoshi models will always stay closed.
Model Access
Projects are organized into two categories:
- Lab: Research and experimental models. May be open-sourced or API only depending on various factors.
- Studio: Creative projects including characters (Kyoko, Aya) and image generation models (Hoshi, Hoshi-V). These are entirely personal and will never be released to the public.
AI Usage in Official Media
Official Studio media involving Hoshi is created using the Hoshi models. While most content includes human creative direction, editing, compositing, and refinement, some outputs may be fully AI-generated depending on the context. Commissioned work from other creators is rare, but when it occurs, creators are paid fairly for their work. Attribution practices are determined by the creator’s preferences, whether through watermarking, credits, mentions, or other forms of recognition. (or no recognition if requested)
Hoshi-generated content may include an ASCII watermark when appropriate. Watermarked works also contain a unique UUID embedded within the image to prevent unauthorized placement of the watermark.
When commissioned to create work using the Hoshi models (whether 100% AI-generated or not), all works include the watermark and UUID for transparency and recognition.
