OpenAI announced on Tuesday the release of its newest picture-making machine POINT-E, which can produce 3D point clouds directly from text prompts. Existing systems like DreamFusion typically require multiple hours — and GPUs — to generate their images, Point-E only needs one GPU and a minute or two. Paper here, and code here.
