The model was trained on a range of over ten million different shapes using research from the Autodesk AI Lab in collaboration with the <a href="https://archinect.com/schools/cover/57106834/the-chinese-university-of-hong-kong" target="_blank">Chinese University of Hong Kong</a>. Its potential will become even more considerable once trained on larger professional datasets after the product is made publicly available.</p> <p>Demonstration video for Project Bernini.
