GLIDE is an AI model developed by OpenAI (United States), first published in December 2021. It works in the image generation domain, on tasks such as image generation and text-to-image.

Training it took an estimated 4.7×10²² FLOP of compute (estimation method: comparison with other models). The model has 3,500,000,000 parameters. It was trained on roughly 7.6T datapoints.

Access: Open weights (unrestricted). Its weights are openly available. The reference paper has 4,722 citations. Epoch AI rates the confidence of this record as speculative.
