Show HN: Web app to generate AI pictures with logos "hidden" in them 7 by igorkotua | 6 comments Hey there Some time ago I built a site that generates AI pictures in a style of GitHub logo ( https://octoart.vercel.app/ ). It's completely free, and even official GitHub accounts in Twitter and Instagram (yes turns out they have Instagram) posted about it. It was fun. So I thought it would be cool to build an app that works with any logo, so people can generate nice branded pictures with their logo. I went on to build https://logopictureai.com/ . It's build with Next.js, Replicate API and Supabase. It's a very early version, I built it in a weekend. It works like this: your upload a logo, type a prompt (or select a predefined one), select number of variations to generate and click a button. Images will be delivered to your email in 2-3 minutes. As I said, it's pretty early and I am not sure if it's really useful. It works decently with most logos, but someti...

Show HN: Shortbread – Create AI comics in minutes 45 by fengjiaopeng | 9 comments Just go to the link and click on "Start Creating". No signing in required. I built shortbread to help anyone to create comics / manga series. The onboarding process helps you kick start a page from 60%, then you can use your creativity to bring it to 1000% in a fully-controllable editor. Tech stack: GPT 3.5 Turbo - the comic script generation. It handled everything from layout, character, scene, SD prompts, to dialogue. SD 1.5 - We put up SD servers on GCP. For every comic we generate one large image and crop it into panels. Per the experiments of u/Deathmarkedadc on Reddit, this massively helps with consistency. The models are trained on anime scenes tho, and might not be so great with animals. Frontend: Next.js 13 on Vercel, React + Typescript. We built the entire editor from scratch to compose the comic (images, panels, speech bubbles, text) like a webpage. This allows you to edit and republ...

Show HN: Running LLMs in one line of Python without Docker 12 by jiayq84 | 5 comments Hello Hacker News! We're Yangqing, Xiang and JJ from lepton.ai. We are building a platform to run any AI models as easy as writing local code, and to get your favorite models in minutes. It's like container for AI, but without the hassle of actually building a docker image. We built and contributed to some of the world's most popular AI software - PyTorch 1.0, ONNX, Caffe, etcd, Kubernetes, etc. We also managed hundreds of thousands of computers in our previous jobs. And we found that the AI software stack is usually unnecessarily complex - and we want to change that. Imagine if you are a developer who sees a good model on github, or HuggingFace. To make it a production ready service, the current solution usually requires you to build a docker image. But think about it - I have a few python code and a few python dependencies. That sounds like a huge overhead, right? lepton.ai is really a ...
