Model Pipeline - Key models overview (GPT, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion)

This pipeline shows how three popular AI models work: GPT for text, DALL-E for images from text, and Stable Diffusion for creating images by gradually improving noise.

Data Flow - 4 Stages

1Input Text

1 sentence→User provides a text prompt→1 sentence

"A cat sitting on a sunny windowsill"

↓

2GPT Text Generation

1 sentence→Generate text continuation using language model→1 paragraph

"The cat basked in the warm sunlight, purring softly as it watched birds outside."

↓

3DALL-E Text to Image

1 sentence→Convert text prompt into an image using a transformer-based model→256 x 256 pixels image

Image of a cat on a sunny windowsill

↓

4Stable Diffusion Image Generation

Random noise (512 x 512 pixels)→Iteratively denoise guided by text prompt to create image→512 x 512 pixels image

Clear image of a cat on a sunny windowsill

Key Insight

GPT, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion use different approaches to generate text or images. GPT predicts text step-by-step, DALL-E converts text directly into images, and Stable Diffusion starts from noise and refines it guided by text. Understanding their data flow and training helps grasp how AI creates content.
