>some major problems we’ve had with it. First is that it runs primarily on your own hardware That's not a "major problem", that is the one most important core feature that anyone who is looking for full creative freedom and who doesn't want to enter "safety" censorship and surveillance hell should be looking for. You can run ComfyUI with as little as 4 GB VRAM, which is not that much anymore.

this is true. However I would my friends and I only have Macbooks so for us we wanted something that ran on the cloud

Modern MacBooks are great at this stuff since they have unified memory and the GPU can use all of it

Looking at your YC history, Rubbrband was initially meant to be "a way to train open-source Machine Learning models in just one line of code." I'm curious what this initial offering was and why you pivoted.

yeah we went through a few pivots actually - Rubbrband was initially a mobile app for musicians. It would listen to your practice sessions and give feedback. We pivoted out of this primarily because of issues with the technology and market.

At what point does it stop making sense to call it a pivot? I was an adopter during your open-source SD training script phase. These earlier efforts sound completely unrelated to anything I'd be interested in. So what are you, as a team, even doing, if your customer and your product are so inconsistent? What is the driving force?

Bizarre, IMO.
