Super excited about this. A tool that's comparable or even outperforms DALL-E 2, but open to the public, open source, and without the insane content restrictions or draconian banning policies.
It's great that the code is open source. However, the magic is in the models. I wouldn't be so sure that model access won't have the same restrictions as OpenAI.
From the repo:
"To prevent misuse and harm, we currently provide access to the checkpoints only for academic research purposes upon request. This is an experiment in safe and community-driven publication of a capable and general text-to-image model. We are working on a public release with a more permissive license that also incorporates ethical considerations."
Right now the model people use in the closed beta is really permissive, it can create NSFW, famous people, gorish images, etc. I don't think (I hope) that the model will change much. They will probably release all the weights from the different training phases.
