A word of encouragement

I've been browsing this repository, trying to understand the current state of the beta and the questions, suggestions or issues people might be having, before installing myself, and just wanted to say:

Kudos to the developers behind this project. Not only is it a fantastic idea, with great potential going forward, and one that deserves more attention, but also one that is actively improved upon in significant ways; model conversion, one or two step generation, real time text to image, etc., these features and therefore software stand out as a cut above the rest, even some of the better known names which have been around longer.

I appreciate how you've prioritized efficiency and adoptability, even if at present it is a little intimidating for less computer savvy folk like myself.

Thank you so much for this wonderful message,it truly means a lot!
I created FastSDCPU with the goal of making image generation accessible to everyone locally, not just those with high-end GPUs, so hearing that the project's direction that just resonates with you is incredibly rewarding.

Glad to hear it. I really feel this area is underexplored and generally overlooked. The projection is very solid, the market massive.

GPUs are and will remain "premium" items, but CPU compute power increases every year, and it won't be long until local inference is widely accessible, if we consider today's models to be acceptable. Everyone with a laptop or cellphone will be able to run local models, if the software is also accessible.
