- visarga 4y agoIt was a long gap between DALL-E 1 and 2, a whole year. In that time they just sat on it, didn't release anything. Such a bummer. My theory is that they wanted to hype everyone up even more for the grand commercial release. Funny thing is that people didn't stand still and invented diffusion and other CLIP guided image synthesis methods, and DALL-E 2 copied the method, completely changing from the first architecture. Their arrogance is that they think they can ride the dragon. They want to be the ones to discover, advance it, and control it. But everyone else doesn't have time for that shit.
- astrange 4y agoThe fact that any of this stuff works is so surprising that none of it could possibly have been planned ahead on anyone's part. StableDiffusion has some real novel research of its own in there; the methods OpenAI and Google used couldn't produce a model that trains or runs as fast as SD.
