Any plan on releasing the text encoder?

[chaman9000]

The current release only contains the CNN encoder and decoder trained with d-VAE. The repo looks like a release for the d-VAE paper rather than for the DALL-E. The only task we can achieve in this release is image reconstruction provided by d-VAE, instead of the cool applications shown in the blog post.

Do the authors plan to release the text encoder? Or does anyone have thoughts on how to get around with this?

We're only releasing the dVAE and don't plan to release the transformer prior model

That's a shame, but I guess releasing part of it is a lot better than releasing none of it. :)
