glid-3-xl VS glide-text2im

If you’re anything like us, though, you’ll feel compelled to poke around the code and run the model yourself. We’ll do that in this article using Meadowrun, an open-source library that makes it easy to run Python code in the cloud. For ML models in particular, we just added a feature for requesting GPU machines in a recent release. We’ll also feed the images generated by DALL·E Mini into additional image processing models (GLID-3-xl and SwinIR) to improve the quality of our generated images. Along the way we’ll deal with the speedbumps that come up when running open-source ML models on EC2.

Personally, I've found GLID3 and GLID3-XL to be nice and straightforward. Worked right out of the box.

GLID-3-XL?

I've been using the Glid-3 XL model. Here are some examples of what I've been able to do with it:

This was made with Glid-3 XL

The above notebooks use GitHub repo GLID-3-XL from Jack000. Regarding CLIP guidance, Jack000 states, "better adherence to prompt, much slower" (compared to classifier-free guidance).

The bolded part is a reference to the publicly released version of OpenAI's GLIDE, which is the predecessor of DALL-E 2. OpenAI didn't release the GLIDE model(s) trained on human faces.

If I can stop wasting my time playing video games for a while, I might work on getting the Dalle-2 open-source predecessor (GLIDE) to work. Also can't wait for this to be released, I have so many uses for it!

A few comments by someone who's spent way too much time in the AI-generated space:

* I recommend reading the System Card that came with it because it's very through: https://github.com/openai/dalle-2-preview/blob/main/system-c...

* Unlike GPT-3, my read of this announcement is that OpenAI does not intend to commercialize it, and that access to the waitlist is indeed more for testing its limits (and as noted, commercializing it would make it much more likely lead to interesting legal precedent). Per the docs, access is very explicitly limited: (https://github.com/openai/dalle-2-preview/blob/main/system-c... )

* A few months ago, OpenAI released GLIDE ( https://github.com/openai/glide-text2im ) which uses a similar approach to AI image generation, but suspiciously never received a fun blog post like this one. The reason for that in retrospect may be "because we made it obsolete."

* The images in the announcement are still cherry-picked, which is therefore a good reason why they tested DALL-E 1 vs. DALL-E 2 presumably on non-cherrypicked images.

* Cherry-picking is relevant because AI image generation is still slow unless you do real shenanigans that likely compromise image quality, although OpenAI has likely a better infra to handle large models as they have demonstrated with GPT-3.

The flags were generated using Glide. You can try it out yourself in Google Colab
