DALL-E generated images from text while CLIP learned joint image-text embeddings through contrastive training. CLIP's joint embedding became core infrastructure for later multimodal systems.
Curator's note: Cross-checked against the OpenAI announcement and the CLIP paper.

All six styles come from one template and can be compared word for word. [引用日期], Accessed, urldate and Y2 all carry this page's build date, 2026-11-03 — a static page is an immutable snapshot, so substitute the date you actually consulted it. The address in every style is the archive's canonical page: this English page translates the same snapshot, and the work keeps its name, so one record cites both. For one-click copying use the same entry in the timeline, which takes the day you opened it. Expand the other styles before printing.
