allow for training the Prior network with precomputed CLIP embeddings (or text encodings)

 For the layperson, no worries, training will all be automated into a CLI tool, at least for small scale training.
 
+## Training on Preprocessed CLIP Embeddings
+
+It is likely, when scaling up, that you would first preprocess your images and text into corresponding embeddings before training the prior network. You can do so easily by simply passing in `image_embed`, `text_embed`, and optionally `text_encodings` and `text_mask`
+
+Working example below
+
+```python
+import torch
+from dalle2_pytorch import DiffusionPriorNetwork, DiffusionPrior, CLIP
+
+# get trained CLIP from step one
+
+clip = CLIP(
+    dim_text = 512,
+    dim_image = 512,
+    dim_latent = 512,
+    num_text_tokens = 49408,
+    text_enc_depth = 6,
+    text_seq_len = 256,
+    text_heads = 8,
+    visual_enc_depth = 6,
+    visual_image_size = 256,
+    visual_patch_size = 32,
+    visual_heads = 8,
+).cuda()
+
+# setup prior network, which contains an autoregressive transformer
+
+prior_network = DiffusionPriorNetwork(
+    dim = 512,
+    depth = 6,
+    dim_head = 64,
+    heads = 8
+).cuda()
+
+# diffusion prior network, which contains the CLIP and network (with transformer) above
+
+diffusion_prior = DiffusionPrior(
+    net = prior_network,
+    clip = clip,
+    timesteps = 100,
+    cond_drop_prob = 0.2,
+    condition_on_text_encodings = False  # this probably should be true, but just to get Laion started
+).cuda()
+
+# mock data
+
+text = torch.randint(0, 49408, (4, 256)).cuda()
+images = torch.randn(4, 3, 256, 256).cuda()
+
+# precompute the text and image embeddings
+# here using the diffusion prior class, but could be done with CLIP alone
+
+clip_image_embeds = diffusion_prior.get_image_embed(images)
+clip_text_embeds = diffusion_prior.get_text_cond(text).get('text_embed')
+
+# feed text and images into diffusion prior network
+
+loss = diffusion_prior(
+    text_embed = clip_text_embeds,
+    image_embed = clip_image_embeds
+)
+
+loss.backward()
+
+# do the above for many many many steps
+# now the diffusion prior can generate image embeddings from the text embeddings
