For three months I have been following a potentially promising neural network of recent years – stable diffusion. In a short time, the freest and most unregulated social network has reached such heights that it has become the most discussed and overshadowed even the legendary DALL-E and Midjourney in trends.
Recently, it has appeared in a “cloudy” form inside photo editing applications. It has also been available online for a long time, with restrictions and types of paid features. But this is nonsense.
Stable diffusion has always been conceived as free and local neural network without restrictions. And recently, it can be installed and run directly on the iPhone and iPad.
SD will work completely offline, without the Internet, without transferring data to other people’s servers. To create pictures, it is used only on the processor of an Apple smartphone or tablet. Already, there seem to be almost a dozen .ckpt models (the so-called “checkpoints”) – including styling for 3D renderings and even anime pictures.
I repeat: this is the same Stable Diffusion, now free in the App Store.
Briefly about stable diffusion
Who is not in the subject stable diffusion is the most complex neural network with a probable code that works for almost any … perhaps so, neuroproblems. In the near future, it can be used for a large number of creative purposes. She is best at creating images based on a text query and modifying their content by pulling other images out of context.
Almost every weird celebrity and video game character art you’ve seen in recent months has been featured in Stable Diffusion. This neural network is available to anyone on an open basis and is widely distributed.
In early autumn, I wrote here about the first runs of Stable Diffusion on Mac computers. Now they are largely outdated, and technology and capabilities have stepped very far forward. And if earlier it seemed impossible to install SD on iPhone and iPad, now it will take you a maximum of one minute.
How to Install Stable Diffusion on iPhone and iPad for Free
one. Download app draw things on the App Store (free)
2. Open and wait for neuromodels to load.
3. Ready. Write a request in English in the text field at the top and experiment with the generation settings.
There are no ads or paid features in the program, and there are no plans to add them. You can completely open the public Internet, this will not affect performance in any way – all resources from beginning to end will be produced at the output. This is a real neural network for iPhone or iPad, and not just a “shell” for a web generator.
Draw Things does not have standards as such, but in fact there are several significant limitations.
Firstly, on a set with 2 GB or less RAM, the program will work and sometimes crash slowly. There are crashes on the iPhone XR and on the first generation iPhone SE. If that doesn’t work for you, you’ll have to put up with it. Let me remind you that soon a minimum of 16 GB of RAM was needed to run Stable Diffusion. The fact that the neural network manages to move at 4 GB or less – and without the huge achievement of that of enthusiasts developing SD.
List of supported devices provided by the developer: iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, SE 3rd Gen, 13, 13 Mini, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max, 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max, and any iPad with 4GB or more of RAM.
And secondly, the image size is 512×512, and more time occurs on any Apple devices except iPad Air M1 and iPad Pro M1/M2. There’s nothing you can do about it, everything depends on the small size of the RAM. Here, the top-end iPad Pros register 16 GB of RAM, pulling ahead in terms of speed.
Finally, the program does not yet support batch image generation. This is a serious minus. But so far no one has made a more advanced offline application for Apple devices, even more so free.
I recommend everyone to at least install and try Draw Things on their iPads and iPhones. Never yet a neuron Stable diffusion in its proper, private and consequencethe view was not available so easily and quickly.
PS Doesn’t exist for Android, only online generators.
