AI Horde
I’ve been meaning to write one of these posts every month, but the events since I wrote the last piece have been fairly disruptive. With the loss of our maintainers of nataili, we’ve been forced to put our heads down to alleviate the backend issue, and I didn’

Close to a month an a half ago, our last remaining maintainer for the nataili library dropped out and we were left functional but “rudderless” as far as inference goes. We could continue operations, but we couldn’t onboard new features anymore as neither me nor any of the remaining

The AI Horde is built around the concept of Mutual Aid, to allow people who have, to aid with those who have not. It’s just that it is about aiding for one specific purpose, of using generative AI. A lot of the design decisions of the AI Horde have
AI Horde
While the AI Horde will always be free for all, anyone can develop frontend for it and ask their users to pay for its use. This blogpost explains why this is OK so long as they give back as much as they take and how this is enforced.
AI Horde
A while back (gosh, It occurs to me this project is half a year old by now!) I took significant steps to join the two forks I had made of the AI Horde (one for Stable Diffusion and one for Kobold AI) as they diverging code was too difficult to

Things are progressing very rapidly in this dawn of the AI and likewise for the AI Horde. I thought it would be a good idea to post about all the things that changed and improved in recent days for our service. More Requests. More statistics. I’ve deployed endpoints to

I finally got around to adding ControlNet on img2img for Lucid Creations. It’s a pity I haven’t really found anyone to help me keep this client up to date. I’m so busy with other AI Horde stuff, that I just haven’t found the time to show

One of the big problems we’ve been fighting against since I created the AI Horde was attempts to use it to generate CSAM. While this technology is very new and there’s a lot of question to answer on whether it even is illegal to generate CSAM for personal

For a few months now the Stable Horde has had its own Discord bot, developed by JamDon. One of the most important aspects I wanted for the bot (and the reason for its original creation), was the ability to be able to gift kudos to people via emojis, which would

It’s been about 2 weeks since we deployed the ratings system to gather data for LAION and once the main UIs on-boarded them, they’ve been coming in at an extraordinary pace! So I thought I’d share some numbers. Amount of ratings per client count | client --------+-----------------
AI Horde
A week ago I mentioned that we had begun a collaboration with LAION to provide them with ratings on images. The amount of ratings we have received since then has blown away all our expectations! In just a week, you’ve all rated close to 130.000 individual images! As

About a week ago I deployed image interrogation to the stable horde, allowing low-powered GPUs and high-powered CPUs to also be able to become productive contributors on the horde and generate kudos for their owners. A few days ago, the extension I talked about was finally released once more, relying
