DALL·E Mini

Generate images from a text prompt

Our logo was generated with DALL·E mini using the prompt "logo of an armchair in the shape of an avocado".

You can create your own pictures with the demo.

How does it work?

Refer to our report.

Development

Dependencies Installation

For development, use pip install -e ".[dev]".

Training of VQGAN

The VQGAN was trained using taming-transformers.

We recommend using the latest version available.

Conversion of VQGAN to JAX

Use patil-suraj/vqgan-jax.

Training of Seq2Seq

Use tools/train/train.py.

You can also adjust the sweep configuration file if you need to perform a hyperparameter search.

Inference Pipeline

To generate sample predictions and understand the inference pipeline step by step, refer to tools/inference/inference_pipeline.ipynb.

FAQ

Where to find the latest models?

Trained models are on 🤗 Model Hub:

VQGAN-f16-16384 for encoding/decoding images
DALL·E mini for generating images from a text prompt

Where does the logo come from?

The "armchair in the shape of an avocado" was used by OpenAI when releasing DALL·E to illustrate the model's capabilities. Having successful predictions on this prompt represents a big milestone to us.
