That's an open source recreation based on DALL-E 1. It's different to DALL-E 2, if you want that look for DALLE2-pytorch, but note that it hasn't been trained fully yet.
My propmt of 'penguin smoking a bong' does not disappoint on either, although hugging face more accurately portrayed the act of smoking, while replicate gave me images of penguin shaped bongs

Replicate is a newer version being trained on the same data set so it should theoretically catch up soon, no guarantees of course.
DALL-E mini/Craiyon is fantastic, but it doesn't compare to DALL-E2 at present, when you're talking about photorealism.
That said, some styles (Comic book spreads) seem to come out better on Craiyon. And DALLE 2 does not know what a Crungus is.
Given that Crungus has now entered the Internet, the next version will certainly know what it a Crungus.
Is this significantly different from Dall-E2?
The model is roughly 4 orders of magnitude smaller.
That's a nice way of saying it's 10000 times worse. It's just worlds apart.
Idk, it's pretty damn good at a lot of things, still. It's definitely very useful. Mega, at least. Mini is ok.
