You are viewing the NeMo 2.0 documentation. This release introduces significant changes to the API and a new library, NeMo Run. We are currently porting all features from NeMo 1.0 to 2.0. For documentation on previous versions or features not yet available in 2.0, please refer to the NeMo 24.07 documentation.

Imagen#

Imagen is a multi-stage text-to-image diffusion model with an unprecedented degree of photorealism and a deep level of language understanding. Given a text prompt, Imagen first generates an image at a 64x64 resolution and then upsamples the generated image to 256x256 and 1024x1024 resolutions, all using diffusion models.
