The official PyTorch package for the discrete VAE (dVAE) component of OpenAI's DALL·E model. It does not include the transformer that generates images from text, only the VAE used for image tokenization.

Use cases

• run the DALL-E discrete VAE in PyTorch
• encode images into discrete tokens for generative models
• reproduce the DALL-E paper's VAE component
• experiment with discrete variational autoencoders
• preprocess images for text-to-image transformer research

When to choose

• you need the exact official DALL-E dVAE implementation for research or reproducibility
• you want a PyTorch discrete VAE for image tokenization experiments

When to avoid

• you want full text-to-image generation - the transformer is not included
• you need a maintained, actively updated library
• you want a modern image generation model like Stable Diffusion
