Krita Stable Diffusion Plugin
This is still a very new project under active development but I wanted to show it off in case anyone is interested in bookmarking it or contributing. Demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maWR7dDf4SE Although it will be improving, the codebase has a few issues The Good - ability to multitask within krita while generating images - uses a queue so you can queue up multiple images without waiting for your other batches to come back - no need for a webserver (uses sockets to communicate) - clean code - active development (i want to use this tool myself) - uses…
In plain words
The Krita Stable Diffusion Plugin integrates image generation directly into Krita, a digital painting application. It lets artists queue multiple image generation requests and continue working without interruption, using socket communication instead of a web server. The plugin is in early development and currently supports text-to-image generation, though image-to-image functionality exists but is disabled. Users must provide their own model files and the tool requires RabbitMQ to function.

This is still a very new project under active development but I wanted to show it off in case anyone is interested in bookmarking it or contributing. Demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maWR7dDf4SE Although it will be improving, the codebase has a few issues The Good - ability to multitask within krita while generating images - uses a queue so you can queue up multiple images without waiting for your other batches to come back - no need for a webserver (uses sockets to communicate) - clean code - active development (i want to use this tool myself) - uses stablediffusiond and stablediffusion as separate repos, these can be swapped out as desired with some hacking The Bad - currently relies on rabbitmq and doesn't provide another option - plugin only does txt2txt. img2img works but is disabled - must acquire the model manually The ugly - not all of the features work yet. in fact you can only generate an image. - installation is somewhat involved (requires CUDA 11.3, rabbitmq and more) - there is an installation file and instructions but likely need improvement, Krita Stable Diffusion plugin https://github.com/w4ffl35/krita_stable_diffusion stablediffusiond (daemon / queue runners) https://github.com/w4ffl35/stablediffusiond/tree/feature/krita-plugin stable diffusion https://github.com/w4ffl35/stable-diffusion/tree/feature/krita-plugin --- if anyone uses this and runs into problems, just open an issue in the appropriate repo and i'll do my best to help.

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

A couple of years ago, I had an interesting idea. What if there was a marketplace where all the underlying tech was open-source? The order management system, the storefront, customer support, etc. The marketplace would simply connect to the seller’s infra instead of locking them in. If, for some reason, the seller is removed from the marketplace, their software stays with them and they can continue accepting orders directly. This model can be used to disrupt any marketplace from AirBNB to UberEats: building tech for home renters and restaurants and later, leveraging that to build a competing…
