I was curious, do you run Stable Diffusion locally? On someone else’s server? What kind of computer do you need to run SD locally?
I run it locally. I prefer having the most control I can over the install, what extensions I want to use, etc.
The most important thing to run it in my opinion is VRAM. The more the better, as much as you can get.
I run it locally with an 11gb 1080 TI. It’s just exposed on the local network, so I still use the main SD website if I’m out and about somewhere.
I run it locally. I have a CPU from 2009. All you need is a good GPU.
Runs fine with 1660, but that is about 20 sec for 512x512 and upscaling takes upwards of a minute.
If you want to run it online I suggest paperspace paid tier, not too big of a hassle to set up but you might have to wait a couple mins spamming refresh to get a better GPU, the instance can run for 6 hours, then it will be autoshutdown. Generally 2-4sec for 512 and 10-20 for 1024. Also, you will have to either download models every time, settle for only two or three models at a time or fork up a couple extra bucks for the permanent storage as base paid is only 15GB.
I am running it locally with a 3060 TI and it works decently well.
