4. How does DALL-E 2 work? continued...
In this article, we'll delve deeper into the mechanics of DALL-E 2, specifically focusing on the decoder part. Interestingly, the decoder in DALL-E 2 is also a diffusion model, albeit with some adjustments. The creators of DALL-E 2 utilized a model known as GLIDE to serve as their decoder.
GLIDE is a model that generates images based on textual input, much like DALL-E 2 itself. However, there is a key distinction: in the decoding process of DALL-E 2, it not only takes the text as input but also incorporates CLIP embeddings to generate the image. This dual-input mechanism ensures a more accurate and coherent image generation.
Once a preliminary image has been created by the GLIDE model using the text and CLIP embeddings, it undergoes two steps of upsampling to enhance its resolution. This two-step upsampling process refines the image to produce a high-resolution output.
DALL-E 2 is undoubtedly a powerful tool, but is it without any shortcomings? Stay tuned for Part 4 to discover potential limitations.

FAQs
Q1: What model serves as the decoder in DALL-E 2?
A1: The decoder in DALL-E 2 is based on GLIDE, a diffusion model that generates images from text.
Q2: What additional information does the decoder use besides text?
A2: Besides text, the decoder also takes CLIP embeddings as input to generate more coherent images.
Q3: How is the resolution of the generated image improved?
A3: The resulting preliminary image undergoes a two-step upsampling process to increase its resolution.
Q4: Is DALL-E 2 without any limitations?
A4: While DALL-E 2 is highly advanced, it does have some shortcomings. Stay tuned to learn more about its limitations.
