While running locally on an M1 Pro is nice, recently I've switched over to a Runpod[0] instance running Stable Diffusion instead. The main reasons being high workloads placed on the laptop degrade the battery faster and it takes ~40s to render a single image. On an A5000 it takes mere seconds to do 40 steps. The cost is around $0.2/hr. [0] https://runpod.io https://runpod.io

can't the battery problem be mitigated if you plug in your Macbook while running Stable Diffusion?

  The laptop body still heats up and over long periods of time this can degrade the battery, I’ve measured a sharp drop in capacity from the device itself.
