Concept
DALL-E
Summary
DALL-E (stylized as DALL·E) and DALL-E 2 are s developed by OpenAI using deep learning methodologies to generate s from natural language descriptions, called "prompts". DALL-E was revealed by OpenAI in a blog post in January 2021, and uses a version of GPT-3 modified to generate images. In April 2022, OpenAI announced DALL-E 2, a successor designed to generate more realistic images at higher resolutions that "can combine concepts, attributes, and styles".
OpenAI has not released source code for either model. On 20 July 2022, DALL-E 2 entered into a beta phase with invitations sent to 1 million waitlisted individuals; users can generate a certain number of images for free every month and may purchase more. Access had previously been restricted to pre-selected users for a research preview due to concerns about ethics and safety. On 28 September 2022, DALL-E 2 was opened to anyone and the waitlist requirement was removed.
In early November 2022, OpenAI released DALL-E 2 as an API, allowing developers to integrate the model into their own applications. Microsoft unveiled their implementation of DALL-E 2 in their Designer app and Image Creator tool included in Bing and Microsoft Edge. CALA and Mixtiles are among other early adopters of the DALL-E 2 API. The API operates on a cost per image basis, with prices varying depending on image resolution. Volume discounts are available to companies working with OpenAI’s enterprise team.
The software's name is a portmanteau of the names of animated robot Pixar character WALL-E and the Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dalí.
The first generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) model was initially developed by OpenAI in 2018, using a Transformer architecture. The first iteration, GPT-1, was scaled up to produce GPT-2 in 2019; in 2020 it was scaled up again to produce GPT-3, with 175 billion parameters. DALL-E's model is a multimodal implementation of GPT-3 with 12 billion parameters which "swaps text for pixels", trained on text-image pairs from the Internet. DALL-E 2 uses 3.
