"an unlimited and open local tool" -> Not everyone has GPU or powerful machines.

It has been optimized to the point where it now runs (albeit slowly) on four year old smartphones https://twitter.com/wattmaller1/status/1573768941096374274 https://twitter.com/wattmaller1/status/1573768941096374274

  Anecdotally, it runs twice as fast and with 20% lower VRAM use on my machines than it did when I first experimented with it in the first week after release. I no longer need to hyper-optimize memory use (as a layman!) and patch that optimized model into web-frontends that don't come with it to get it to run on a 4gb card, there are flags now that make it "Just Work"™. Down from 90s/512²img -> ~35s. Exited to try it out on some AMD APU's when I've got time to see if that can outperform my dedicated but ancient 4gb card.

You can use it locally or hosted. The hosted services are all cheaper than dalle2. It runs on google colab's free tier. Also, you can run it locally on a non-powerful machine. It just takes longer, but you can also just queue up as many prompts as you want and let your machine crank them out at its own pace. I use a first-gen macbook air m1 and it usually takes ~90s to generate an image with my usual settings.

  And since SD is open you’re not limited to DreamStudio, there is a whole ecosystem of other webapps being developed like: https://dreamlike.art https://dreamlike.art https://patience.ai https://patience.ai https://getimg.ai https://getimg.ai Plus integrations into other applications like Photoshop and Canva. Open source has such a huge multiplier effect for innovation.

Artists, creatives and directors who benefit most from this do. For anyone else stability offer a paid web version.

It runs pretty well on my MacBook.
