“Getting it working on an M1 Mac’s GPU is a little fiddly, so we’ve created this guide to show you how to do it.”
The guide wants macOS 12.3, Python 3.10 and 16GB of RAM. Eight gigs works, but slowly. Then you download a 4 GB checkpoint and generate whatever you want on your own laptop. No waitlist, no content filter, no per-image fee. The companies selling image generation as a service just lost their moat.
