Given that Stable Diffusion is designed to be able to run on consumer hardware, without the need for a third party cloud platform, it saddens me to see that this, alongside many other similar projects, require the use of a third party platform for hosting the model, even for local usage. The tool itself does seem interesting though.
- neilxm 3y agoSo the api used for inpainting is very easily swappable to a local instance. But when you say consumer hardware, I think you might be overestimating how capable most people’s computing setups are.
- Folcon 3y agoIsn't that to a degree a function of time? There may be a point when that's not the case, but at present this stuff will run on hardware accessible to a consumer, assuming they're ok waiting a bit.
- neilxm 3y agoyea for sure. i guess i'd like this to be something usable on mobile as well. but directionally you're right. there's a lot to be gained from optimizing for local compute in many applications. something to look into.
