With StableDiffusion I can buy a used RTX 3090 on eBay for $650, tell the model to generate 5,000 images, and then review each one until I find what it is I'm looking for.
Turns out a shitload of misses are acceptable when it only takes 4-7 seconds to generate an image from a prompt. 5000 generations on an RTX 3090 takes around 7 hours +/- 30 minutes, by the way.
- Turing_Machine 4y agoWhat I've been doing is generate maybe 100 images, pick the best one, and then generating another 100 from that, using --init-image ("good" image file name) and --init-image-strength 0.2 (or so), either with the original prompt or a slightly tweaked one. Those are the params I use in ImaginAIry, mileage may vary if you're using a different package.
- gpt5 4y agoIt's a bit ironic bringing a 7 hours of RTX 3090 run as a cost saving given that it's like 3KWh of electricity, which costs more than DALL-E's already outrageous prices.
- moralestapia 4y agoIs your math ok? 3KWh is like $0.5 USD ... DALL-E would give you like two pictures for that price, LOL
- cbozeman 4y agoI live in Texas. 3 KWh of power is $0.29 for me.
- edumucelli 4y agoIn France that would be 0.51 EUR ...
