I would highly recommend Fooocus to anyone who hasn't tried: https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus There are a bajillion local SD pipelines, but this one is, by far , the one with the highest quality output out-of-the-box, with short prompts. Its remarkable. And thats because it integrates a bajillion SDXL augmentations that other UIs do not implement or enable by default. I've been using stable diffusion since 1.5 c…

Have to build it yourself on Mac, and we all know how "fun" building Python projects is

This is when I feel the 24G mem limit of the mac book/air

Again, try Draw Things, it runs well for SDXL on 8GiB macOS devices.

yeah, I know there are options, I'm more interested in language models than image generation anyway, so llama.cpp

Just installed, this is very cool. Local AI is the future I want (and what I'm working on too). A few notes using it... Pros: - seems pretty self contained - built in model installer works really well and helps you download anything from CivitAI (I installed https://civitai.com/models/183354/sdxl-ms-paint-portraits ) - image generation is high quality and stable - shows intermediate steps during generation Cons: - do…

You should check out Draw Things on macOS. It works well enough for SDXL on 8GiB macOS devices.

Are you the developer by any chance? If so, it would be helpful to state it.

Looks like a complete contraption to setup and looks very unpleasant to use at first glance when compared against Noiselith. The hundreds of python scripts and having the user to touch the terminal shows why something like Noiselith should exist for normal users rather than developers or programmers. I would rather take a packaged solution that just works over a bunch of scripts requiring a terminal.

Huh? It has a really simple interface, much much much simpler than anything else that uses SD/SDXL locally. Installation is also simple for Windows/Linux, don't know about macOS.

I am. I thought this is obvious. My statement is objective. I would go as far as: it is the only app works at 8GiB macOS devices with SDXL-family models.
