Finished adding a 'Build Static Site' option to my web site. Going to keep DB local, and just push 'static' updates.

I just finished rebuilding my web site

Always loving the Pi, wishing I had this type of stuff when I was growing up rather than Z80's 6800's, and machine language, etc...
I've created a lot of things on the Pi over the last.. since ~2012 ?

However I think the first thing I'm going to release is something Ive been working on recently, trying get the Raspberry Pi 5, to spit out an AI generated image faster than 45 mins!!! :(

Then I got it down to 20 mins, then 10, then 3, now 1.5 minutes with no hats and no acceleration !! :)

It uses a special LoRA model that gets added to the model pipeline that changes the number of steps it would take down to an average of only 4 steps.
Significantly reducing the time a Raspberry Pi 5 takes to spit out a simple 512x512 image.

The Pi OS, everything running and loading from a Class10 SD Card. Although of course it runs better on a Pi5 16G with a Pi 5 Solid state drive hat and a nice Solid State drive.

But, it will do a 1.5 minute image on a Raspberry Pi 5 8G version with only a BIG Class10 SD Card. And I mean BIG, because EVERYTHING image generation regardless of what you use for a computer, takes a lot of storage space.

The program is called 'LCM-LoRA Studio'.

Create a high-quality image, in an average of ONLY 4 STEPS using just a low-end CPU or a Raspberry Pi 5.

Check it out at: LCM-LoRA Studio

You can download the whole thing from the repository at GitHub github.com/rock-stevens/lcm-lora-studio


I welcome anyone interested in image generation on the Pi to check it out. (Runs on a PC too, CPU only)
Simple one command line install, and one command line to run.

Note: I may be slow to respond to comments and messages, so just bare with me.

Later...

I just finished rebuilding my web site

And, now that I am finished testing it, I'll start uploading my data to the site.

Over the coming weeks you'll start to see some content. I have created a lot over the years

New: Theme Button on header of site. Dark and Light Mode. Try it !
It uses one cookie named 'theme' to remember 'light' or 'dark'. But that is all.
