Show HN: Stable Horde – Free Crowdsourced Cluster for Stable Diffusion

5 points

4 years ago

Hello everyone, I am the creator of Stable Horde, a free, open sourced, crowdsourced, distributed cluster of Stable Diffusion (AKA AI image generation) workers.

This service is provided for free and without any small print. The only thing one needs to be aware of is that your prompt goes to someone else's computer to be created and then sent back with all the caveats that entails.

The main difference from all the other Stable Diffusion webuis and services are:

  * This service is free for everyone, without credits. While we do have a kudos system, this is only used for priority and you can gain Kudos by simply adding your own SD worker to the horde.
  * It can be used from PCs without GPUs. Even from phones
  * It provides a fully-documented [REST API](https://stablehorde.net/api/) which has already been used by community integratora to make things like telegram bots and status pages.
  * It is Open Sourced under AGPL3

On top of these, I've already created a no-installation, no-GPU, [free client using the Godot Engine](https://dbzer0.itch.io/stable-horde-client)

I also provide a Godot Engine addon so that people can integrate AI generations directly into their games: https://github.com/db0/Stable-Horde-Client-Addon

I am hoping this service can provide AI image generation to everyone, no matter their personal wealth.

Tell me what you think!
