DALLE2-pytorch VS disco-diffusion

I was showing people Dalle2 last year and telling them how much of an impact an open source solution was going to have on, well, everything to do with art and design. (At the time Stable Diffusion had not released, not even the leak, and all hopes was on https://github.com/lucidrains/DALLE2-pytorch)

Stable diffusion is the model, MJ will use a variant and DALL-E is the old version (we have our own implementation from our distinguished fellow Lucidrains here: https://github.com/lucidrains/DALLE2-pytorch)

Sadly I don't think so. From what I understand the architecture is fixed to 1024x1024 pictures.

The code is open source, the model is not I believe. https://github.com/lucidrains/DALLE2-pytorch

Phil Wang has been fairly prolific at creating open source implementations of these text to image models. For example, here is the dalle-2 repo https://github.com/lucidrains/DALLE2-pytorch

There's already an open-source implementation of DALL-E 2 (https://github.com/lucidrains/DALLE2-pytorch) and a pretrained model for it should be released within this year.

Also true for Google's Imagen, which should be even better than DALLE-2 (and faster) https://github.com/lucidrains/imagen-pytorch.

This is possible because the original research papers behind both DALLE-2 and Imagen were publicly released.

The paper describing the model is public and has been implemented here, but that's not the hard part. The model likely requires months of compute and dozens of gigabytes of VRAM to train and run, likely costing several hundred thousand dollars.

Disco-diffusion, a framework like Stable, which came out about 13 months ago: https://github.com/alembics/disco-diffusion

Runner-ups are Craiyon (for being more "creative" than SD), Disco Diffusion, minDALL-E, and CLIP Guided Diffusion.

From the Disco Diffusion GitHub, "“A frankensteinian amalgamation of notebooks, models and techniques for the generation of AI Art and Animations.”

Google Colab is probably the easiest way to run DD. To find the most recent version go to the GitHub page and then open the link to the Colab. Initially, you'll probably just want to experiment with the prompts. But there's also Zippy's Disco Diffusion Cheatsheet v0.3 which can be a useful place to learn more.

You can probably port Disco Diffusion pretty easily. It’s available on Google Colab, so should be straightforward. Their GitHub is: https://github.com/alembics/disco-diffusion

https://www.reddit.com/r/DiscoDiffusion/, https://github.com/alembics/disco-diffusion. As far as I'm aware the only way to use this is via Google Colab. Rather difficult to use because of this.
