CogView2 web app is available at site replicate.com
This web app, which is mentioned in the CogView (1) GitHub repo, is/was using a "slightly different" model than the CogView2 GitHub repo.

DALL-E 2 alternative: CogView2 checkpoints now available for download: best released text2image model (9b Transformer)
The web app for CogView2 has been available for months, if I am not mistaken. See this GitHub repo for the link.

Paper+code "CogView2: Faster and Better Text-to-Image Generation via Hierarchical Transformers", Ding et al 2022
Is the CogView2 demo avaliable here the same as the CogView2 paper released?

The official CogView web app might be using a new model. Evidence and link in a comment. Example: "wedding portrait. no watermark. royalty free." (3 images)
On March 16, 2022, the following was added to the CogView GitHub repo: "News! The demo for a better and faster CogView2 (formal version, March 2022) is available! The lastest model also supports English input, but to translate them into Chinese often could be better."

6 of an AI's creations for input text description "fox at night. no watermark." The last image is a mind-bender.
Yes, CogView 2 is free to use, and is available as a web app here. CogView 2's image description text needs to be in simplified Chinese; an English-to-simplified Chinese icon appears after typing 9 characters. The styles are a quick way to add text snippets to the image description text; I forgot to mention that I used "HD Photography" style for this post.

New Colab notebook "Multi Perceptor VQGAN + CLIP [Public]" from rdurant722. This notebook allows the optional use of a 2nd CLIP model for greater accuracy at the cost of slower processing speed. Link in comment. Example: "Enchanted Forest by James Gurney" at various iterations.

cat in a hat by an artificial intelligence system that composes an image to match a given text description
I used the web app for the new version 2 of CogView, then upscaled with a web app version of SwinIR, and then cropped with a paint app. Both of these are free.

This image was the result of a text-to-image artificial intelligence system that generated an image for my text description request of "Abstract and non-abstract art combining a cat and tendrils of neon light"
This is from the new version of CogView that was released a few weeks ago. There is a link to the new web version about 1/4 of the way down its GitHub page. It is free to use, with no paid option available. Tip: The input needs to be in simplified Chinese. An English-to-simplified Chinese translator icon appears after typing 9 characters.

Tip for new CogView version: adding sentence "No watermark." at the end of the text prompt seems to greatly reduce the occurrence of watermarks. See comment for related tip from a developer. Example: "illustration of a happy SpongeBob SquarePants. No watermark."
A method to prevent generating watermark.

I used Real-ESRGAN to upscale my image, but if you zoom in you can see that “water particles” looks like some random lines and image overall looks cartoonish. Is there a way to fix it?

Any luck changing the upscaler? They seem to be hard coded
I was trying to get a new upscaler working, as someone pointed me to one that did a good job of preserving and creating new details: https://github.com/JingyunLiang/SwinIR

what are the alternatives to letsenhance.io?
You could try out chaiNNer, it is a free local/offline application. There are a lot of (upscaling) models which you can download an use with it. You can for example try out SwinIR-L (link will start a model download) or any other model you like depending on your input images.

[R] Swin transformer while using a rectangular attention window
the relative attention bias can be made non-square in the original implementation, there is a parameter window_size, at 7, that is forced to (7,7) directly, but you can change it easily. https://github.com/JingyunLiang/SwinIR/blob/main/models/network_swinir.py
