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:
- downloads 6.94GB SDXL model file somewhere without asking or showing location/size. Just figured out you can find/modify the location in the settings.
- very slow on first generation as it loads the model, no record of how long generations take but I'd guess a couple minutes (m1 max macbook, 64GB)
- multiple user feedback modules (bottom left is very intrusive chat thing I'll never use + top right call for beta feedback)
- not open source like competitors
- runs 7 processes, idling at ~1GB RAM usage
- non-native UX on macOS, missing hotkeys you'd expect, help menu. electron app?
Overall 4/5 stars, would open again :)
