Implementation of DALL-E 2, OpenAI's updated text-to-image synthesis neural network, in Pytorch.
Yannic Kilcher summary | AssemblyAI explainer
The main novelty seems to be an extra layer of indirection with the prior network (whether it is an autoregressive transformer or a diffusion network), which predicts an image embedding based on the text embedding from CLIP. Specifically, this repository will only build out the diffusion prior network, as it is the best performing variant (but which incidentally involves a causal transformer as the denoising network 😂)
This model is SOTA for text-to-image for now.
Please join if you are interested in helping out with the replication with the LAION community | Yannic Interview
There was enough interest for a Jax version. I will also eventually extend this to text to video, once the repository is in a good place.
$ pip install dalle2-pytorch
To train DALLE-2 is a 3 step process, with the training of CLIP being the most important
To train CLIP, you can either use x-clip package, or join the LAION discord, where a lot of replication efforts are already underway.
This repository will demonstrate integration with x-clip
for starters
import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import CLIP
clip = CLIP(
dim_text = 512,
dim_image = 512,
dim_latent = 512,
num_text_tokens = 49408,
text_enc_depth = 1,
text_seq_len = 256,
text_heads = 8,
visual_enc_depth = 1,
visual_image_size = 256,
visual_patch_size = 32,
visual_heads = 8,
use_all_token_embeds = True, # whether to use fine-grained contrastive learning (FILIP)
decoupled_contrastive_learning = True, # use decoupled contrastive learning (DCL) objective function, removing positive pairs from the denominator of the InfoNCE loss (CLOOB + DCL)
extra_latent_projection = True, # whether to use separate projections for text-to-image vs image-to-text comparisons (CLOOB)
use_visual_ssl = True, # whether to do self supervised learning on images
visual_ssl_type = 'simclr', # can be either 'simclr' or 'simsiam', depending on using DeCLIP or SLIP
use_mlm = False, # use masked language learning (MLM) on text (DeCLIP)
text_ssl_loss_weight = 0.05, # weight for text MLM loss
image_ssl_loss_weight = 0.05 # weight for image self-supervised learning loss
).cuda()
# mock data
text = torch.randint(0, 49408, (4, 256)).cuda()
images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()
# train
loss = clip(
text,
images,
return_loss = True # needs to be set to True to return contrastive loss
)
loss.backward()
# do the above with as many texts and images as possible in a loop
Then, you will need to train the decoder, which learns to generate images based on the image embedding coming from the trained CLIP above
import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import Unet, Decoder, CLIP
# trained clip from step 1
clip = CLIP(
dim_text = 512,
dim_image = 512,
dim_latent = 512,
num_text_tokens = 49408,
text_enc_depth = 1,
text_seq_len = 256,
text_heads = 8,
visual_enc_depth = 1,
visual_image_size = 256,
visual_patch_size = 32,
visual_heads = 8
).cuda()
# unet for the decoder
unet = Unet(
dim = 128,
image_embed_dim = 512,
cond_dim = 128,
channels = 3,
dim_mults=(1, 2, 4, 8)
).cuda()
# decoder, which contains the unet and clip
decoder = Decoder(
unet = unet,
clip = clip,
timesteps = 100,
image_cond_drop_prob = 0.1,
text_cond_drop_prob = 0.5
).cuda()
# mock images (get a lot of this)
images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()
# feed images into decoder
loss = decoder(images)
loss.backward()
# do the above for many many many many steps
# then it will learn to generate images based on the CLIP image embeddings
Finally, the main contribution of the paper. The repository offers the diffusion prior network. It takes the CLIP text embeddings and tries to generate the CLIP image embeddings. Again, you will need the trained CLIP from the first step
import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import DiffusionPriorNetwork, DiffusionPrior, CLIP
# get trained CLIP from step one
clip = CLIP(
dim_text = 512,
dim_image = 512,
dim_latent = 512,
num_text_tokens = 49408,
text_enc_depth = 6,
text_seq_len = 256,
text_heads = 8,
visual_enc_depth = 6,
visual_image_size = 256,
visual_patch_size = 32,
visual_heads = 8,
).cuda()
# setup prior network, which contains an autoregressive transformer
prior_network = DiffusionPriorNetwork(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
dim_head = 64,
heads = 8
).cuda()
# diffusion prior network, which contains the CLIP and network (with transformer) above
diffusion_prior = DiffusionPrior(
net = prior_network,
clip = clip,
timesteps = 100,
cond_drop_prob = 0.2
).cuda()
# mock data
text = torch.randint(0, 49408, (4, 256)).cuda()
images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()
# feed text and images into diffusion prior network
loss = diffusion_prior(text, images)
loss.backward()
# do the above for many many many steps
# now the diffusion prior can generate image embeddings from the text embeddings
In the paper, they actually used a recently discovered technique, from Jonathan Ho himself (original author of DDPMs, the core technique used in DALL-E v2) for high resolution image synthesis.
This can easily be used within this framework as so
import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import Unet, Decoder, CLIP
# trained clip from step 1
clip = CLIP(
dim_text = 512,
dim_image = 512,
dim_latent = 512,
num_text_tokens = 49408,
text_enc_depth = 6,
text_seq_len = 256,
text_heads = 8,
visual_enc_depth = 6,
visual_image_size = 256,
visual_patch_size = 32,
visual_heads = 8
).cuda()
# 2 unets for the decoder (a la cascading DDPM)
unet1 = Unet(
dim = 32,
image_embed_dim = 512,
cond_dim = 128,
channels = 3,
dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8)
).cuda()
unet2 = Unet(
dim = 32,
image_embed_dim = 512,
cond_dim = 128,
channels = 3,
dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8, 16)
).cuda()
# decoder, which contains the unet(s) and clip
decoder = Decoder(
clip = clip,
unet = (unet1, unet2), # insert both unets in order of low resolution to highest resolution (you can have as many stages as you want here)
image_sizes = (256, 512), # resolutions, 256 for first unet, 512 for second. these must be unique and in ascending order (matches with the unets passed in)
timesteps = 1000,
image_cond_drop_prob = 0.1,
text_cond_drop_prob = 0.5
).cuda()
# mock images (get a lot of this)
images = torch.randn(4, 3, 512, 512).cuda()
# feed images into decoder, specifying which unet you want to train
# each unet can be trained separately, which is one of the benefits of the cascading DDPM scheme
loss = decoder(images, unet_number = 1)
loss.backward()
loss = decoder(images, unet_number = 2)
loss.backward()
# do the above for many steps for both unets
Finally, to generate the DALL-E2 images from text. Insert the trained DiffusionPrior
as well as the Decoder
(which wraps CLIP
, the causal transformer, and unet(s))
from dalle2_pytorch import DALLE2
dalle2 = DALLE2(
prior = diffusion_prior,
decoder = decoder
)
# send the text as a string if you want to use the simple tokenizer from DALLE v1
# or you can do it as token ids, if you have your own tokenizer
texts = ['glistening morning dew on a flower petal']
images = dalle2(texts) # (1, 3, 256, 256)
That's it!
Let's see the whole script below
import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import DALLE2, DiffusionPriorNetwork, DiffusionPrior, Unet, Decoder, CLIP
clip = CLIP(
dim_text = 512,
dim_image = 512,
dim_latent = 512,

).cuda()
unet2 = Unet(

image_embed_dim = 512,
cond_dim = 128,
channels = 3,
dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8, 16)
).cuda()
decoder = Decoder(
unet = (unet1, unet2),
image_sizes = (128, 256),

image_cond_drop_prob = 0.1,
text_cond_drop_prob = 0.5,
condition_on_text_encodings = False # set this to True if you wish to condition on text during training and sampling
).cuda()
for unet_number in (1, 2):
loss = decoder(images, unet_number = unet_number) # this can optionally be decoder(images, text) if you wish to condition on the text encodings as well, though it was hinted in the paper it didn't do much
loss.backward()
# do above for many steps
dalle2 = DALLE2(
prior = diffusion_prior,
decoder = decoder
)
images = dalle2(
['cute puppy chasing after a squirrel'],
cond_scale = 2. # classifier free guidance strength (> 1 would strengthen the condition)
)
# save your image (in this example, of size 256x256)
Everything in this readme should run without error
You can also train the decoder on images of greater than the size (say 512x512) at which CLIP was trained (256x256). The images will be resized to CLIP image resolution for the image embeddings
For the layperson, no worries, training will all be automated into a CLI tool, at least for small scale training.
It is likely, when scaling up, that you would first preprocess your images and text into corresponding embeddings before training the prior network. You can do so easily by simply passing in image_embed
, text_embed
, and optionally text_encodings
and text_mask
Working example below
import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import DiffusionPriorNetwork, DiffusionPrior, CLIP
# get trained CLIP from step one
clip = CLIP(
dim_text = 512,
dim_image = 512,
dim_latent = 512,
num_text_tokens = 49408,
text_enc_depth = 6,
text_seq_len = 256,
text_heads = 8,
visual_enc_depth = 6,
visual_image_size = 256,
visual_patch_size = 32,
visual_heads = 8,
).cuda()
# setup prior network, which contains an autoregressive transformer
prior_network = DiffusionPriorNetwork(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
dim_head = 64,
heads = 8
).cuda()
# diffusion prior network, which contains the CLIP and network (with transformer) above
diffusion_prior = DiffusionPrior(
net = prior_network,
clip = clip,
timesteps = 100,
cond_drop_prob = 0.2,
condition_on_text_encodings = False # this probably should be true, but just to get Laion started
).cuda()
# mock data
text = torch.randint(0, 49408, (4, 256)).cuda()
images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()
# precompute the text and image embeddings
# here using the diffusion prior class, but could be done with CLIP alone
clip_image_embeds = diffusion_prior.clip.embed_image(images).image_embed
clip_text_embeds = diffusion_prior.clip.embed_text(text).text_embed
# feed text and images into diffusion prior network
loss = diffusion_prior(
text_embed = clip_text_embeds,
image_embed = clip_image_embeds
)
loss.backward()
# do the above for many many many steps
# now the diffusion prior can generate image embeddings from the text embeddings
You can also completely go CLIP
-less, in which case you will need to pass in the image_embed_dim
into the DiffusionPrior
on initialization
import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import DiffusionPriorNetwork, DiffusionPrior
# setup prior network, which contains an autoregressive transformer
prior_network = DiffusionPriorNetwork(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
dim_head = 64,

).cuda()
# diffusion prior network, which contains the CLIP and network (with transformer) above
diffusion_prior = DiffusionPrior(
net = prior_network,

)
loss.backward()
# do the above for many many many steps
# now the diffusion prior can generate image embeddings from the text embeddings
Although there is the possibility they are using an unreleased, more powerful CLIP, you can use one of the released ones, if you do not wish to train your own CLIP from scratch. This will also allow the community to more quickly validate the conclusions of the paper.
To use a pretrained OpenAI CLIP, simply import OpenAIClipAdapter
and pass it into the DiffusionPrior
or Decoder
like so
import torch
from dalle2_pytorch import DALLE2, DiffusionPriorNetwork, DiffusionPrior, Unet, Decoder, OpenAIClipAdapter
# openai pretrained clip - defaults to ViT/B-32
clip = OpenAIClipAdapter()
# mock data
text = torch.randint(0, 49408, (4, 256)).cuda()
images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()
# prior networks (with transformer)
prior_network = DiffusionPriorNetwork(
dim = 512,
depth = 6,
dim_head = 64,
heads = 8
).cuda()
diffusion_prior = DiffusionPrior(
net = prior_network,
clip = clip,
timesteps = 100,
cond_drop_prob = 0.2
).cuda()
loss = diffusion_prior(text, images)
loss.backward()
# do above for many steps ...
# decoder (with unet)
unet1 = Unet(
dim = 128,
image_embed_dim = 512,
cond_dim = 128,
channels = 3,
dim_mults=(1, 2, 4, 8)
).cuda()
unet2 = Unet(
dim = 16,
image_embed_dim = 512,
cond_dim = 128,
channels = 3,
dim_mults = (1, 2, 4, 8, 16)
).cuda()
decoder = Decoder(
unet = (unet1, unet2),
image_sizes = (128, 256),
clip = clip,
timesteps = 100,
image_cond_drop_prob = 0.1,
text_cond_drop_prob = 0.5,
condition_on_text_encodings = False # set this to True if you wish to condition on text during training and sampling
).cuda()
for unet_number in (1, 2):
loss = decoder(images, unet_number = unet_number) # this can optionally be decoder(images, text) if you wish to condition on the text encodings as well, though it was hinted in the paper it didn't do much
loss.backward()
# do above for many steps
dalle2 = DALLE2(
prior = diffusion_prior,
decoder = decoder
)
images = dalle2(
['a butterfly trying to escape a tornado'],
cond_scale = 2. # classifier free guidance strength (> 1 would strengthen the condition)
)
# save your image (in this example, of size 256x256)
Now you'll just have to worry about training the Prior and the Decoder!
This repository decides to take the next step and offer DALL-E v2 combined with latent diffusion, from Rombach et al.
You can use it as follows. Latent diffusion can be limited to just the first U-Net in the cascade, or to any number you wish.
The repository also comes equipped with all the necessary settings to recreate ViT-VQGan
from the Improved VQGans paper. Furthermore, the vector quantization library also comes equipped to do residual or multi-headed quantization, which I believe will give an even further boost in performance to the autoencoder.

Training the Decoder
may be confusing, as one needs to keep track of an optimizer for each of the Unet
(s) separately. Each Unet
will also need its own corresponding exponential moving average. The DecoderTrainer
hopes to make this simple, as shown below

In order to make loading data simple and efficient, we include some general dataloaders that can be used to train portions of the network.
When training the decoder (and up samplers if training together) in isolation, you will need to load images and corresponding image embeddings. This dataset can read two similar types of datasets. First, it can read a webdataset that contains .jpg
and .npy
files in the .tar
s that contain the images and associated image embeddings respectively. Alternatively, you can also specify a source for the embeddings outside of the webdataset. In this case, the path to the embeddings should contain .npy
files with the same shard numbers as the webdataset and there should be a correspondence between the filename of the .jpg
and the index of the embedding in the .npy
. So, for example, 0001.tar
from the webdataset with image 00010509.jpg
(the first 4 digits are the shard number and the last 4 are the index) in it should be paralleled by a img_emb_0001.npy
which contains a NumPy array with the embedding at index 509.
Generating a dataset of this type:
- Use img2dataset to generate a webdataset.
- Use clip-retrieval to convert the images to embeddings.
- Use embedding-dataset-reordering to reorder the embeddings into the expected format.
Usage:
from dalle2_pytorch.dataloaders import ImageEmbeddingDataset, create_image_embedding_dataloader

This script allows training the DiffusionPrior on pre-computed text and image embeddings. The working example below elucidates this process. Please note that the script internally passes text_embed and image_embed to the DiffusionPrior, unlike the example below.
$ python train_diffusion_prior.py
The most significant parameters for the script are as follows:
--image-embed-url, default = "https://mystic.the-eye.eu/public/AI/cah/laion5b/embeddings/laion2B-en/img_emb/")
--text-embed-url, default = "https://mystic.the-eye.eu/public/AI/cah/laion5b/embeddings/laion2B-en/text_emb/")
--image-embed-dim, default=768 - 768 corresponds to the ViT iL/14 embedding size,change it to what your chosen ViT generates
--learning-rate, default=1.1e-4
--weight-decay, default=6.02e-2
--max-grad-norm, default=0.5
--batch-size, default=10 ** 4
--num-epochs, default=5
--clip, default=None # Signals the prior to use pre-computed embeddings

Once built, images will be saved to the same directory the command is invoked
- finish off gaussian diffusion class for latent embedding - allow for prediction of epsilon
- add what was proposed in the paper, where DDPM objective for image latent embedding predicts x0 directly (reread vq-diffusion paper and get caught up on that line of work)
- make sure it works end to end to produce an output tensor, taking a single gradient step
- augment unet so that it can also be conditioned on text encodings (although in paper they hinted this didn't make much a difference)
- figure out all the current bag of tricks needed to make DDPMs great (starting with the blur trick mentioned in paper)
- build the cascading ddpm by having Decoder class manage multiple unets at different resolutions
- add efficient attention in unet
- be able to finely customize what to condition on (text, image embed) for specific unet in the cascade (super resolution ddpms near the end may not need too much conditioning)
- offload unets not being trained on to CPU for memory efficiency (for training each resolution unets separately)
- build out latent diffusion architecture, with the vq-reg variant (vqgan-vae), make it completely optional and compatible with cascading ddpms
- for decoder, allow ability to customize objective (predict epsilon vs x0), in case latent diffusion does better with prediction of x0
- use attention-based upsampling https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.11435
- use inheritance just this once for sharing logic between decoder and prior network ddpms
- bring in vit-vqgan https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.04627 for the latent diffusion
- abstract interface for CLIP adapter class, so other CLIPs can be brought in
- take care of mixed precision as well as gradient accumulation within decoder trainer
- just take care of the training for the decoder in a wrapper class, as each unet in the cascade will need its own optimizer
- bring in tools to train vqgan-vae
- add convnext backbone for vqgan-vae (in addition to vit [vit-vqgan] + resnet)
- make sure DDPMs can be run with traditional resnet blocks (but leave convnext as an option for experimentation)
- make sure for the latter unets in the cascade, one can train on crops for learning super resolution (constrain the unet to be only convolutions in that case, or allow conv-like attention with rel pos bias)
- become an expert with unets, cleanup unet code, make it fully configurable, port all learnings over to https://github.com/lucidrains/x-unet (test out unet² in ddpm repo) - consider https://github.com/lucidrains/uformer-pytorch attention-based unet
- make sure the cascading ddpm in the repository can be trained unconditionally, offer a one-line CLI tool for training on a folder of images
- transcribe code to Jax, which lowers the activation energy for distributed training, given access to TPUs
- pull logic for training diffusion prior into a class DiffusionPriorTrainer, for eventual script based + CLI based training
- train on a toy task, offer in colab
- think about how best to design a declarative training config that handles preencoding for prior and training of multiple networks in decoder
- extend diffusion head to use diffusion-gan (potentially using lightweight-gan) to speed up inference
- bring in cross-scale embedding from iclr paper https://github.com/lucidrains/vit-pytorch/blob/main/vit_pytorch/crossformer.py#L14
- figure out if possible to augment with external memory, as described in https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.11824
- test out grid attention in cascading ddpm locally, decide whether to keep or remove
- use an experimental tracker agnostic setup, as done here
- interface out the vqgan-vae so a pretrained one can be pulled off the shelf to validate latent diffusion + DALL-E2
- make sure FILIP works with DALL-E2 from x-clip https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.07783
- make sure resnet hyperparameters can be configurable across unet depth (groups and expansion factor)
- offer save / load methods on the trainer classes to automatically take care of state dicts for scalers / optimizers / saving versions and checking for breaking changes
- offer setting in diffusion prior to split time and image embeddings into multiple tokens, configurable, for more surface area during attention
- bring in skip-layer excitatons (from lightweight gan paper) to see if it helps for either decoder of unet or vqgan-vae training
