Introduction
InstructPix2Pix uses GPT-3 and Stable Diffusion to synthesize training examples, then trains a diffusion model conditioned on editing instructions. It shifts the interaction from making a picture in a single generation toward changing an existing image through language, connecting generative modelling with iterative visual editing.

Method and contribution
InstructPix2Pix combines GPT-3 and Stable Diffusion to construct editing examples, then trains a conditional diffusion model to follow written instructions. Inference does not require separate fine-tuning or inversion for each image. Generation operates twice: in producing training data and in transforming the user’s input.

Art-historical interpretation
Editing operations can be learned indirectly rather than defined entirely through explicit image-processing rules. Analysis should attend to additional changes introduced by the model’s interpretation of an instruction, including regions or attributes beyond the user’s intention.
