Looking for API service alternative to DALL-E 2
Hi,I’m building a web app where one of the features is supposed to generate images.Currently I’m using DALL-E 2, but I’d like to know if there are alternatives to it, or people interested to build an alternative service.The requirements are:the service price to beat DALL-E 2 (currently $0.02 per 1024x1024 image)to be as fast or faster as DALL-E 2to accept unpredictable promptsRegarding the prompts, can be a one paragraph summary of a random news article.I’m looking for existing API services, or people who would like to create such service and be integrated in a publishing platform.Thank you.

Try stable diffusion and magicPrompt.  Both you could develop your own spaces and API’s to inference and save your progress.e.g. This space is a good mashup example:🏭 Generated Text to Image Prompt Refinery ✍️ Gradio - a Hugging Face Space by awacke1One of the best features of Inference API and Gradio is easy service API layer generation with standard open source patterns.–Aaron

A question about the Inference API.The pricing is per hour. Is it possible to start/stop the instance as needed?I’m asking because during development I’ll use it occasionally.
