Thank you for the support and the valuable feedback! Sorry about the response time, I haven't expected the incoming volume of requests. * For changing prompt in the middle - I'll take a crack at it this week. It's on top of my post launch list. * Feedback button: Thanks for reporting this. The button was supposed to open default email client to email feedback@recurse.chat * LLaVA model: I'll add more documentation. You are right Llava could not generate images. It can only describe images (similar to GPT-4v). For image generation, it's not supported in the app. While I don't have immediate plans for image generation, check out these projects for local image generation. - https://diffusionbee.com/ - https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI - https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui

ComfyUI is similar to Houdini in complexity, but immensely powerful. It's a joy to use. There are also a large amount of resources available for it on YouTube, GitHub (https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI_examples), reddit (https://old.reddit.com/r/comfyui), CivitAI, Comfy Workflows (https://comfyworkflows.com/), and OpenArt Flow (https://openart.ai/workflows/). I still use AUTO1111 (https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui) and the recently released and heavily modified fork of AUTO1111 called Forge (https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge).

I would love to be able to have a native stable diffusion experience, my rx 580 takes 30s to generate a single image. But it does work after following https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki... I got this up and running on my windows machine in short order and I don't even know what stable diffusion is. But again, it would be nice to have first class support to locally participate in the fun.

Seems like an interesting project. Regarding the name, is there permission to use something so similar to AUTOMATIC1111 [1]? > Diffusers will Cuda out of memory/perform very slowly for huge generations, like 2048x2048 images, while Auto 1111 SDK won't. Do we have some numbers on this? I have seen AUTOMATIC1111 fall-over whilst using only half the available of GPU VRAM - there seems to be some weirdness where it tries to allocate before de-allocating the last batch or something. > You can use any of the 6 compatible RealEsrgran models/weights with our RealEsrgran pipeline for upscaling images. Here are the model ids: I've previously had trouble trying to use AUTOMATIC1111 upscalers, it seems like it needs more GPU VRAM than just generating the image already upscaled.
