# DALL-E Mini
_Generate images from a text prompt_
<img src="img/logo.png" width="200">
Our logo was generated with DALL-E mini using the prompt "logo of an armchair in the shape of an avocado".
You can also create your own pictures with the demo (TODO: add link).
## How does it work?
Refer to [our report](https://wandb.ai/dalle-mini/dalle-mini/reports/DALL-E-mini--Vmlldzo4NjIxODA).
## Development
This section is for the adventurous people wanting to look into the code.
### Dependencies Installation
The root folder and associated `requirements.txt` is only for the app.
You will find necessary requirements in each sub-section.
You should create a new python virtual environment and install the project dependencies inside the virtual env. You need to use the `-f` (`--find-links`) option for `pip` to be able to find the appropriate `libtpu` required for the TPU hardware.
Adapt the installation to your own hardware and follow library installation instructions.
```
$ pip install -r requirements.txt -f https://storage.googleapis.com/jax-releases/libtpu_releases.html
```
If you use `conda`, you can create the virtual env and install everything using: `conda env update -f environments.yaml`
### Training of VQGAN
The VQGAN was trained using [taming-transformers](https://github.com/CompVis/taming-transformers).
We recommend using the latest version available.
### Conversion of VQGAN to JAX
Use [patil-suraj/vqgan-jax](https://github.com/patil-suraj/vqgan-jax).
### Training of Seq2Seq
Refer to `seq2seq` folder (some parameters may have been hardcoded for convenience when training on our TPU VM).
You can also adjust the [sweep configuration file](https://docs.wandb.ai/guides/sweeps) if you need to perform a hyperparameter search.
### Inference
Refer to the demo notebooks.
