Next week, we will start a new series about text-to-image synthesis models. In the last year, this deep learning discipline has seen an astonishing level of progress. You probably heard about OpenAI DALL-E 2, but plenty of other impressive text-to-image generation models have been created in the last few months. We have seen Google coming up with models like Imagen and Parti; Meta has done amazing work with Make-A-Scene; OpenAI created GLIDE and, of course, DALL-E 2. All these models push the boundaries of text-to-image synthesis in ways that challenge human imagination. However, the innovation is not only coming from the big AI labs but also from startups in the space.
