Inpainting with DALL·E 2 is super fun. With some ingenuity, you can create arbitrarily large artwork like the murals shown below – which I assume are the largest #dalle -produced images created so far.

We just released a new edit interface for DALL·E that lets you use Outpainting to expand beyond the original borders of an image! You can use this to make images with different aspect ratios, or arbitrarily large images like murals or magazine covers.

Small but important decision that has had a very positive impact on company culture in my opinion – it attracts people who are motivated by the mission rather than those chasing titles & status.

When starting OpenAI, we thought hard about what job titles to use—didn't want to bucket people into researchers & engineers. Alan Kay advised that they used "Member of Technical Staff" at Xerox Parc, we loved & adopted it. Recently have seen many companies doing same—very cool!
