    Inpainting with DALL·E 2 is super fun. With some ingenuity, you can create arbitrarily large artwork like the murals shown below – which I assume are the largest #dalle-produced images created so far.

    Watching our engineering team put out fires scaling this huge model from zero to millions of users over the course of *one* week has been a sight to behold. 💜

    We just released a new edit interface for DALL·E that lets you use Outpainting to expand beyond the original borders of an image! You can use this to make images with different aspect ratios, or arbitrarily large images like murals or magazine covers.

    Attempting to generate 2D game assets with #dalle. It definitely works! Getting consistent resolution / aesthetic is likely to be the tricky part. "science laboratory dungeon, pixel art game scene"

    Here's a fun creation made earlier this year using an early prototype version of this interface – 20x larger than a normal DALL·E image!

    Deeply inspired by my colleagues who are fighting for our customers right now, despite the turmoil they've been tossed into 💜
    A note to @OpenAI developers 🫶: I wanted to express my appreciation for all the warm, thoughtful, and supportive messages I got and I’ve seen posted across the community. Despite a moment of uncertainty, our commitment to developers remained steadfast. In the meantime,

    Can attest – 2 years in at OpenAI and I've never felt more fulfilled (intellectually, socially, etc)

    I generated a series of smaller images with DALL·E (with each subsequent image having part of the context from the previous images) and then joined them together via separate tooling.
