Can SD draw hands finally?

With a few tries, yes. Probably will be even better with negative embedding.

And/or hand-specific LoRa and/or a workflow using something like ADetailer extension in A1111 that applies a model to recognize hands [0] and then inpaints them.

[0] recognition models are also provided for people, faces, and eyes, too, and it can use additional custom models for other things.

I've found https://firefly.adobe.com/ pretty good at composing images with multiple subjects. [disclaimer - I work at Adobe, but not in the Creative Cloud] But I wouldn't say it's the "best." Just trained on images that weren't taken from unconsenting artists.

I was quite disappointed that the Photoshop generative fill stuff insists on running on Adobe's servers rather than locally. So however good it is, there are many of us who will never use it.

Yeah-- I can only assume it's to ensure a consistent experience and to not disperse the model openly. If you have the model running locally on people's computers, it limits who can use the generative AI and opens up a ton of headache around customer support. Again, I don't work on this, but I'm familiar with generative AI and what it takes to run.

I feel like this is the greatest demand for LLMs at the moment too. It's hard to believe we're only 8 months into this industry, so I imagine we'll start seeing smaller footprints soon.

8 months from what point? Gpt3 is 36 months old. Dalle-e is 28 months old. Even StableDiffusion is like 11 months old.

Fair, I should have said 8 months since the market exploded.

It's often said porn drives technology. I clicked through the links in the article, since they sounded technically interesting. They led to AI-generated porn. Those, in turn, led to pages about training SD to generate porn. Now, two disclaimers: 1) I am not interested in AI-generating porn 2) I haven't followed SD in maybe 6-9 months With those out-of-the-way, the out-of-the-box tools for fine-tuning SD are impressiv…

It absolutely works for things other than naked and cartoon women. Here are some generations of my daughter and dog (together!). I believe most of these are from a fine tuned model of them and not an extracted LoRA, though I use that sometimes too: https://imgur.com/a/naHgnel

I will choose to intentionally misread that :)

I'm out of date on the image-generating side of AI, but I'd like to check things out. What's the best tool for image generation that's available on a website right now? Ie, not a model that I have to run locally.

There are toy AI things, but there is nothing quite like Stable Diffusion running on Colab. Lots of people recommended Midjourney but that is like playing with MSpaint. If you can get Stable Diffusion going with Automatic1111, its AAA tier. Especially with Control-net, and dreambooth, but that is part 2. Google: The Last Ben Stable Diffusion Colab for a way to not run it locally, but get all the features.

We already do. MLC-LLM and Llama.cpp have Vulkan/OpenCL/Metal 3 bit implementations. That can run llama 7B (or maybe even 13b?) in 8GB. TBH devices just need more ram for coherent output though. Llama 13b and 33b are so much "smarter" and more coherent than 7B with 3 bit quant.

13b q5 llama report „total VRAM used: 8321 MB” so 3bit will most likely fit into 8GB.

Midjourney is destroyed by the ecosystem around stable diffusion, especially all the features and extensions in automatic1111. It’s not even close

You still have to run midjourney through discord right? There isn't even an official API. Feels like a joke.

Been using https://omnibridge.io Pretty stable!

I hope someday there’s a version of this or something comparable to it that can run on <8gb consumer hardware. The main selling point of Stable Diffusion was its ability to run in that environment.

I should clarify that by <8gb I meant “less than 8gb”, which is what SD 1.5 and 2 were able to do. I’m aware that it can run on ==8gb.
