Hi! I’m C.Y. Wong, and welcome to my slice of the Internet!
This is primarily a record of things I’ve learnt… but maybe you’ll find something that interests you too.
I previously ran Grav on this site, but something is wrong with PHP and I am not bothered to fix it. What you are looking at is an interim setup, I transition to Hugo… wish me luck!
In my last post, I described running Mistral, a Large Language Model, locally using Ollama. To accompany that piece, I created a prompt and manually used AI to generate an image. Today, I’ll wire up a ComfyUI workflow to Ollama to do this seamlessly, thanks to ComfyUI-IF_AI_tools. ...
I keep posting about Stable Diffusion, but I do experiment with Large Language Models too! I do not have much to contribute in this regard, instead, here is the transcript of a game I played with the open source Mistral 7B model via Ollama. ...
More and more AI generated images are shared as short video clips. So, here a quick test of Stable Video Diffusion - which was released back in November last year. Don’t know why I didn’t post this when I posted about AnimateDiff and the Hotshot Motion model around the same time. ...
Do you want to convert a 2D image into a 3D model auto-magically? On 5 March 2024, Stability AI and Tripo AI released TripoSR: Fast 3D Object Generation from Single Images that does exactly that! ...
Differential Diffusion is the newest method (framework) of in-painting without an in-painting model. Instead, all that is needed is a mask (map) where the lighter the area, the greater the re-painting applied. ...
Ever wished you could generate Stable Diffusion XL images with transparent backgrounds? Well, your wish has been answered by the smart people behind the Transparent Image Layer Diffusion using Latent Transparency paper. They have made their code and models available, and what do you know, Chenlei Hu has ported it to ComfyUI! ...
With the advent of techniques like Adversarial Diffusion Distillation and Latent Consistency models, A.I. image synthesis based on Stable Diffusion XL has been getting faster and faster. Here is just quick comparison of a few models at 4-steps, some of which are fine-tuned and trained for realism. ...
Not long ago, in a attempt to obtain Consistent portraits using IP-Adapters for SDXL, I shared a comparison between IP-Adapter-Plus-Face and IP-Adapter-FaceID. Today I’ll look at InstantID. ...
An update to my previous post on Stable Cascade with ComfyUI - instead of requiring four separate model files, we now only need two checkpoints, and the ComfyUI workflow is now very straightfoward! ...
On 12 Feb 2024, Stability.ai released Stable Cascade “research preview” (non-commercial license), and over the weekend, ComfyUI was updated to support this new model! Time to give it a go! ...
