DALL·E Mini is an open-source project that generates images from textual prompts using lightweight transformer-based models. Inspired by OpenAI's DALL·E, it aims to democratize access to text-to-image generation by providing an efficient and accessible implementation. The model leverages a combination of a transformer for text-to-image generation and a VQGAN for image decoding, enabling users to create diverse and coherent images from natural language descriptions.
