Episode #3: DALL-E in depth Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

The actual paper for DALL-E was released only a few days after we published our episode 2, so in this episode we re-visit DALL-E in its full published glory. Joining us as a special guest for this episode is Aditya Ramesh from OpenAI, the lead author of DALL-E.
