Development
Dependencies Installation
For inference only, use pip install dalle-mini.
For development, clone the repo and use pip install -e ".[dev]".
Before making a PR, check style with make style.
You can experiment with the pipeline step by step through our inference pipeline notebook
Training of DALL·E mini
Use tools/train/train.py.
You can also adjust the sweep configuration file if you need to perform a hyperparameter search.
FAQ
Where to find the latest models?
Trained models are on 🤗 Model Hub:
VQGAN-f16-16384 for encoding/decoding images
DALL·E mini or DALL·E mega 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 for us.
