Unfortunately, the limited training data makes the results here substantially less impressive or interesting compared to the original DALL-E. Shame that the original model wasn’t released.

DALL-E 2 is in a whole ‘nother universe.

either the astronaut is Shai Halud, or they are a literal ass face.

It's surprisingly hard to find prompts that give good results. Almost anything anthropomorphic is a no go, and X made of Y usually just gives you an X or a Y. Here are a few I found that are pretty consistent in mixing the mentioned influences.

Organic spaceship in the clouds

"Cyborg robot portrait in the clouds" produces some nice results too.

This model doesn't work that good with human and animal figures.

Try anything without them. Like "eiffel tower on the moon" or "armchair shaped like a mango" or "picture of a beach on sunrise".

Hilarious.

This is like DALLE-2’s 18 month old little brother who found crayons.

When I try the 'the official Dalle-E Mini demo' I just get a runtime error with Container logs... :/

Not very impressive compared to DALL-E, understandably.

If you plan on sleeping soon, please don't enter any prompt containing a public figure. Nightmare fuel.

I heavily object to the title.

I worked on this project, and it is, by no means, "by Hugging Face".

It was done in a Hackathon organized by Hugging Face along with Google Cloud.

Apart from one person, none of us are or were affiliated to Hugging Face. This is such a misleading title.

Google Cloud provided the free compute. The project was overseen by a DS from another company who now works at Weights and Biases.

Hugging Face spaces are a place to host Deep Learning model demos. This is not created "by Hugging Face".

It was an innocent mistake. No one intended to steal credit for your work. I've fixed the title now.

In the future you can get better and quicker results by letting us know about misleading titles at [email protected].

Hey, I'm the submitter. Please accept my apologies! I submitted this but did not understand the difference between Hugging Face the hosting platform and their own work/contributions.

I truly didn't intend to miscredit. I reached out to the HN admins over email to ask them to rename the submission.

Sorry again!

FWIW it appears as though you're mentioned directly on a link named "Project Report" on the OP's link's homepage (visible to me above the fold when the page loads). Congrats!

This project was also recently mentioned in a New York Times article [0] by Cade Metz.

On the last paragraph, if you click on the link, you will find the HF space, and the GitHub repo link and also the project report. On both of these links, you will find the full contributors list.

Please don't make sweeping generalisations from a shallow understanding of the situation.

The linked page correctly gives credits to the authors. HuggingFace offers a platform to host such demos, their involvement in the hackathon had nothing to do with the credit attribution issue. The error is 100% on the submitter's fault (or whoever edited the title afterward).

Re:DALL·E Mini by dang on Tuesday April 12, 2022 @11:16PM (#31010834)
Please don't be a jerk in HN comments. We want curious conversation here. Swipes and supercilious putdowns are really bad for that.

The title is different from what is on the site, you know.
