For context, this is not the same technique that was used to create the AI-generated Pokemon a couple months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/rgmyxp/i_trained_a...

That used a finetuned ruDALL-E which is not based on a GAN architecture and is much, much slower than a GAN, albeit the generated Pokemon are more coherent. You can play with it (with no queue) on your own Colab Notebook here: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1A3t2gQofQGeXo5z1BAr...

Very nice!

Unbelievable how clean looking and artifact-free these neural net generated images have become (in a short short time!) compared to eg. this deconvolved monstrosity

Browsing through their code, it looks like they are using a VQGAN for image generation and ESRGAN for super resolution.
