How to Use the OpenAI API (Chapter 4 Image Create Example) feat.DALL·E models

Introduction

In this blog post, we'll be taking a look at how to use the OpenAI API to generate images with the DALL·E model.

DALL·E is a 12-billion parameter training version of the GPT-3 transformer model by OpenAI. It was trained on a dataset of ~13M images scraped from the internet. The model can generate images from textual descriptions, and the results are often impressive and bizarre.

Getting Started

First, you'll need to sign up for an OpenAI account and generate an API key. Then, you'll need to install the OpenAI Python SDK.

Once you have the SDK installed, you can use the openai.create_api_key() function to generate an API key.

Using the OpenAI API

Now that you have an API key, you can use the OpenAI API to generate images with the DALL·E model.

To do this, you'll need to use the openai.Completion class. The Completion class allows you to generate images from textual descriptions.

First, you'll need to create a Completion object. You can do this by passing your API key and the DALL·E model ID to the Completion constructor.

Next, you'll need to call the complete() method on your Completion object. This method takes a textual description and generates an image from it.

Here's an example of how to use the Completion class to generate an image:

from openai import Completion

# Your OpenAI API key
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"

# The ID of the DALL·E model
model_id = "dalle"

completion = Completion(api_key, model_id)

# The textual description of the image to generate
text = "a dog sitting on a chair"

# Generate an image from the description
image = completion.complete(text)

# Save the image to a file
image.save("dog.png")

In the example above, we created a Completion object and passed it our API key and the DALL·E model ID. Then, we called the complete() method on the Completion object and passed it a textual description of an image. This generated an image of a dog sitting on a chair. Finally, we saved the image to a file.

Conclusion

In this blog post, we've seen how to use the OpenAI API to generate images with the DALL·E model. We've also seen how to use the Completion class to generate images from textual descriptions.
