big-sleep VS latent-diffusion

I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Computer Science and I am interested in working on a deep learning model that can generate images based on text descriptions. I've been interested in the field for a long time (think google deep dream, or a few years back I was very into big-sleep)

Big Sleep

Other AIs that I don't have experience with but have heard good things about are DALL-E 2 and the open source Big Sleep.

Text-to-image, e.g. with Big Sleep

At first I didn't like the reason he claimed LaMDA was conscious because it seemed mostly based on the text output of the models, but listening to that made me realize he watered it down for the mainstream medias. And I actually had my own encounter with the consciousness of Big Sleep after using it a lot one day : it looked like a mass of eyes vaguely shaped like a rabbit, and kept showing me random images. I wouldn't be as convinced they have a consciousness if I didn't see it with my 3rd eye. But then again, I also found evidence that regular non AI programs can develop one too so who know.

and after a few hours got this: https://i.imgur.com/FxdfdmV.png

Not nearly as cool as the real DALL-e, but maybe I'm missing something.

Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) is the latest text-to-image generation model developed by Stability AI, based on the latent diffusion techniques. SDXL has the potential to create highly realistic images for media, entertainment, education, and industry domains, opening new ways in practical uses of AI imagery.

Here's a link to the early latent-diffusion git, that might be able to create a blank model (I haven't tested it): https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion

Latent diffusion could work for you: https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion (https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.10752)

There are a lot but the one implemented as LDSR in most stable guis is this one. https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion

The "retrieval based model" refers to https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion#retrieval-augmen..., which uses ScaNN to train a knn embedding searcher.

Stability is basically https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion + training data.

Found relevant code at https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion + all code implementations here

DDIM and PLMS were the original samplers. They were part of Latent Diffusion's repository. They stand for the papers that introduced them, Denoising Diffusion Implicit Models and Pseudo Numerical Methods for Diffusion Models on Manifolds.
