OK, I misunderstood there. Running the code, which generates 15 images, on a standard GPU Colab environment takes about 2 minutes. It may be possible to submit a single batch of text summaries to the DALL-E mini model, which would improve performance a good deal.
We looked into it. At current TPU/GPU prices it's about $.60 to $.30 an image.
Was this a cost just for the DALL-E piece or the full text extraction, summarization and image generation workflow?
DALL-E mini not DALL-E, just making sure everyone has the right expectations.
