I start with its minimal port into PyTorch called min(DALL-E). I first give you the necessary context by walking you through the VQ-GAN, BART, GLU, and DALL-E papers as well as the Weights & Biases report on DALL-E mini, and then I dig into the actual code!

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
