✨ We launched DALL•E 2 yesterday! 🎨🖌🤖 Working on this has been dreamy as a PM, because it’s not often that you get to ship what feels like magic. Nor is it often that your teammates are brilliant, high-agency people who move with urgency. <3

DALL·E 2

DALL·E 2 is an AI system that can create realistic images and art from a description in natural language.

Language-conditional models can act a bit like decision transformers, in that you can prompt them with a desired level of "reward". E.g., want prettier #dalle creations? "Just ask" by adding "[very]^n beautiful": n=0: "A beautiful painting of a mountain next to a waterfall."
