DALL-E

DALL-E is an AI system that can create unique images from simple text descriptions, like 'a cat wearing a hat.'

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

DALL-E is a generative AI model developed by OpenAI that synthesizes novel images from textual prompts, leveraging a Transformer architecture to understand and visually represent diverse concepts described in natural language.

BACKGROUND

Prompt engineering is the process of structuring natural language inputs to produce specified outputs from a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) model. Context engineering is the related area of software engineering that focuses on the management of non-prompt contexts supplied to the GenAI model, such as metadata, API tools, and tokens.
