Artificial intelligenceModels, how to run them and their limits

ENCODER

Part of a model that converts human-readable data — such as text, images, or audio — into a sequence of numbers representing their meaning. The model does not process words directly, but works with these numerical representations.

Why it matters

The quality of the encoder determines whether the model actually understands the input instruction. In image generators, this is the most common cause of mismatch between what is described in the prompt and what appears in the generated image.

What's missing without it

Without an encoder, the model cannot interpret instructions — it receives raw characters that it cannot associate with any concept.

When it is used

Always when feeding text or images into the model. Large image generators often use multiple encoders simultaneously, each capturing a different aspect of the prompt.

How we use it

Encoders can be larger than the actual image-generating component. When working without a graphics card, it’s efficient to compute the prompt embeddings once for all frames, save the result, and then load the rest of the model.
