This is a fast, minimal implementation of Boris Dayma's [DALL·E Mega](https://github.com/borisdayma/dalle-mini).  It has been stripped down for inference and converted to PyTorch.  The only third party dependencies are numpy, requests, pillow and torch.

To generate a 4x4 grid of DALL·E Mega images it takes:
- 89 sec with a T4 in Colab
- 48 sec with a P100 in Colab
- 14 sec with an A100 on Replicate
- TBD with an H100 (@NVIDIA?)

The flax model and code for converting it to torch can be found [here](https://github.com/kuprel/min-dalle-flax).

## Install

```bash
$ pip install min-dalle
```  

## Usage

Load the model parameters once and reuse the model to generate multiple images.

```python
from min_dalle import MinDalle

model = MinDalle(is_mega=True, models_root='./pretrained')
```

The required models will be downloaded to `models_root` if they are not already there.  Once everything has finished initializing, call `generate_image` with some text as many times as you want.

```python
text = 'Dali painting of WALL·E'
image = model.generate_image(text, grid_size=4)
display(image)
```

```python
text = 'Rusty Iron Man suit found abandoned in the woods being reclaimed by nature'
image = model.generate_image(text, grid_size=3)
display(image)
```

```python
text = 'court sketch of godzilla on trial'
image = model.generate_image(text, grid_size=3)
display(image)
```

```python
text = 'a funeral at Whole Foods'
image = model.generate_image(text, grid_size=3)
display(image)
```

```python
text = 'Jesus turning water into wine on Americas Got Talent'
image = model.generate_image(text, grid_size=3)
display(image)
```

```python
text = 'cctv footage of Yoda robbing a liquor store'
image = model.generate_image(text, grid_size=3)
display(image)
```

### Command Line

Use `image_from_text.py` to generate images from the command line.

```bash
$ python image_from_text.py --text='artificial intelligence' --no-mega
```
