I've been working on NightCafe for a few years now and have submitted to Show HN in the past, but since VQGAN+CLIP is a new technology and, to my knowledge, no-one else has built an app around it yet, I thought I'd submit again!
Advantages over using Google Colab:
- It's >2x faster (runs on NVIDIA RTX A5000 GPUs). E.g. 800 iterations at 600x600px in 8 mins vs 19 mins on Colab.
- Can do higher resolution (894x894px > 700x700px).
- Run multiple jobs in parallel.
- Works from any device.
- Obviously it's much easier to use for anyone non-technical.
- It's easy to "evolve" creations. I.e. tweak the prompt, increase the resolution, and/or just run them for longer.
- You don't need to keep the tab open to see the result.
It's free for basic use, but does cost money for extended use. Unfortunately I don't have the same access to GPUs as Google does.
Try it out. Would love to get the thoughts of the HN community!
