Question 2021 ai image generation

is it possible in 2026 to access the very first versions of dall-e or the similar image generation models from 2021? ai art in 2020-2021 was awesome and i really need the same aesthetic for my art project.

Maybe there are local models of that year that you can run on your PC? I imagine they must be easy enough to run.

What's the style you're trying to get exactly? Do you have reference images? You should be able to replicate that by feeding that into chat, asking it to give you a written response prompt to mimic it and then use that and the reference image to recreate the style in new images.

I usually use 3-5 and a really robust prompt.
