GLID-3: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1x4p2PokZ3XznBn35Q5B...

and a new Latent Diffusion notebook: https://colab.research.google.com/github/multimodalart/laten...

have both appeared recently and are getting remarkably close to the original Dall-E (maybe better as I can't test the real thing...)

So - this was pretty good timing if OpenAI want to appear to be ahead of the pack. Of course I'd always pick a model I can actually use over a better one I'm not allowed to...
