NightCafe: The Quiet Giant of AI Art Generation

NightCafe, an AI art platform co-founded by Elle and Angus Russell, maintains a low profile despite its large user base of over 25 million. Angus initially started the platform as a marketplace for AI-generated art prints, but it failed to gain traction. The focus shifted to providing AI art creation tools after Angus noticed a surge in image generation and implemented a credit system. Elle joined to manage the business side, and the platform became profitable. NightCafe`s popularity further increased with the rise of open-source AI models inspired by OpenAI`s DALL-E.
