Ugh, that tweet is so confusing. The researchers did work for Stability - this work was done for NVIDIA. It's entirely unclear if the researchers are even still associated with stability.ai but Emad sure does imply that's the case.

I _think_ he's saying that _his_ team is working on a similar model - and that they will release _that_ model "when it's done" (and not to to expect that to happen any time soon).

Just super vague, bordering on taking credit for work that NVIDIA did. Seems like he typed it out on his phone and/or is Elon-levels of lazy about tweets.
