OpenAI's DALL-E 3 - The King Is Back!

Big day today! The third version of the legendary text-to-image AI, DALL-E, has been announced. While we can't try it out yet—there's no product or paper available, just an initial announcement—it's clear that DALL-E 3 refines the capabilities of its predecessors significantly. So, what does it offer?

First, it listens. With prior techniques, important parts of our prompts often get lost. However, DALL-E 3 aims to ensure all elements of a detailed prompt are considered. For instance, if we specify that a mustache be noteworthy, it ensures the mustache is notably rendered. The AI excels even with complex prompts, like a whirlwind of porcelain fragments forming harmonious, fluid shapes in a dream-like atmosphere.

Second, one might wonder if DALL-E 3 can compete with other advanced models like MidJourney and Stable Diffusion. Early indications are promising. Consider the iconic prompt from DALL-E 2: "An expressive oil painting of a basketball player dunking depicted as an explosion of a nebula." The result from DALL-E 3 shows more detail, definition, and vitality, illustrating a significant improvement.

Third, DALL-E 3 promises better integration with ChatGPT. We no longer need to craft prompts directly; instead, we can ask ChatGPT to create a new character, such as Larry the Hedgehog. The AI produces several images of Larry, which is a complex task that many attempts have aimed to accomplish. Furthermore, it can generate environments for these characters—Larry’s house in this case—and produce text, making it easier than ever to create stickers or bedtime stories featuring our new AI-generated friends.

It’s important to note that thus far, there's no official paper. The observed cases in the announcement may represent best-case scenarios, and we will be able to test DALL-E 3 ourselves soon. Notably, DALL-E 3 will not create images in the style of living artists, maintaining ethical standards in its use.

OpenAI’s announcement also featured proper scholarly representation, earning praise. For those looking for inexpensive cloud GPUs for AI, Lambda now offers competitive prices, including on-demand h100 instances for $ 1.99/hour. Known research organizations such as Apple, MIT, and Caltech use Lambda’s services.
