Hello

I was wondering why should I have a own setup in my company to generate images from text, when the same can be done by chatGPT or any other service online?

Well… If you think about it seriously, I think it’s a philosophical question.

To put it simply, my motivation is easy to explain…  
In my case, I like things that I can disassemble and reassemble myself as much as possible. No matter how excellent or inexpensive a black box is, I don’t find it interesting.

Thanks @John6666

I work for a tech startup in Mumbai doing Online-Events, India. We are migrating from .com to AI. And i am a developer at the company.

Say, if I want to develop my own codebase (like you), what all should I be doing? What should be my 5 year roadmap? Please advise.

Thank You.

Hmm… I’m not a professional developer, so I can’t offer any particularly useful advice…  
I’ve listed some useful resources on Hugging Face in the following post.
