It seems like v2 is more photorealistic but it more often fails to follow any complex prompt.

#43Great project! I have a question - how can you afford to run this? I looked at the server costs on google compute and runpod.io, and the ones with GPUs powerful enough to run SD are pretty expensive. I'm guessing you don't have a lot of paying users at the beginning, so I don't think you have enough revenue to cover the costs (at least when you're just getting started). Do you just spend a lot of money to fund this,…

#44If you prefer interacting with v2 via code, Erik Bernhardsson got v2 running on https://modal.com in 20 minutes, and it'd take 5 minutes to copy and run his Github gist: https://twitter.com/bernhardsson/status/1595960120021696512.

To OP, I reckon you should allow 1 generation before hitting us with the login prompt. May lift conversion.

Stable diffusion only needs 4GB of VRAM to run on the low end so you can rent low-end consumer GPUs (nvidia RTX for example) for around $0.10 an hour to do the renders.
I was running it for free on google colab here and there with no problems.
Haven’t tried the 2.0 out yet so not sure how that’s going.

#46Verify email? No thanks.
Exactly. Put that bullshit up front before I waste time entering a prompt so I know not to bother.

#47Came here to point out that my personal email is wrongfully listed as a disposable email address. It must be that it's a three letter url with a .nl TLD.
Maybe take a look at your mail checking API?

#48I can’t even register with my own email domain because of “We do not support disposable email addresses!” error
It's a measure to prevent multi accounts. Some people really overuse free offering. Either your domain/IP is on a spam list or your email server may be misconfigured.
How is this a measure? I have my own domain, so why would I make several accounts for your service? I just need one.
And labeling a domain as disposable, when it's clearly isn't, sounds a bit strange to me.

People did that a lot to get new free accounts from disposable email services (You can generate 100 images/mo for free). Around 15% of signups were disposable email multi accounts (40% of email signups).
I use email verification API for this. It states to make decisions based on public email blacklists and lists of disposable emails. Cleary it's not perfect

#50Wow v2 seems worse than v1.5.
Agreed. I like making abstract stuff, much more fun to be had with v1.5.
