cog VS stable-diffusion

View on GitHub

I'm in the same situation. I found this cog project to dockerise ML https://github.com/replicate/cog : you write just one python class and a yaml file, and it takes care of the "CUDA hell" and deps. It even creates a flask app in front of your model.

That helps keep your system clean, but someone with big $s please rewrite pytorch to golang or rust or even nodejs / typescript.

Our thinking was just that a bunch of folks will want to fine-tune right away, then deploy the fine-tunes, so trying to make that easy... Or even just deploy the models-as-is on their own infra without dealing with CUDA insanity!

I have used this tool before: https://github.com/replicate/cog/tree/main

Then I discovered Cog: Containers for Machine Learning. Looks like a way more flexible solution to plug in the existing infrastructure: you write your custom code and Cog plugs it in a Docker image with FastAPI, no extra ecosystem complexity added.

Highly recommend using cog https://github.com/replicate/cog

Dokku Maintainer here.

Dokku also supports Dockerfiles, Docker Images, Tarballs (similar to heroku slugs), and Cloud Native Buildpacks. I'm also actively working on AWS Lambda support (both for simple usage without much config as well as SAM-based usage) and investigating Replicate's Cog[1] and Railways Nixpacks[2] functionalities for building apps.

There are quite a few options in the OSS space (as well as Commercial offerings from new startups and popular incumbents). It's an interesting space to be in, and its always fun to see how new offerings innovate on existing solutions.

Yes, you can install it with Python! https://github.com/lstein/stable-diffusion works with macOS, and you can control all the common parameter via their WebUI or CLI :)

I'm using lstein fork ("dream") and when I create an image from the terminal, it also writes back to the terminal like this:

> Whenever I ask for something like ‘seamless tiling xxxxxx’ it kinda sorta gets the idea, but the resulting texture doesn’t quite tile right.

Getting seamless tiling requires more than just have "seamless tiling" in the prompt. It also depends on if the fork you're using has that feature at all.

https://github.com/lstein/stable-diffusion has the feature, but you need to pass it outside the prompt. So if you use the `dream.py` prompt cli, you can pass it `"Hats on the ground" --seamless` and it should be perfectly tilable.

Stable Diffusion Dream Script: This is the original site/script for supporting macOS. I found this soon after Stable Diffusion was publicly released and it was the site which inspired me to try out using Stable Diffusion on a mac. They have a web-based UI (as well as command-line scripts) and a lot of documentation on how to get things working.

I’m pretty sure it works for M2 as well - basically the newer ARM-based Macs. The instructions to get it working are detailed! https://github.com/lstein/stable-diffusion
