Thanks @andrewfrench 🙏

Is there a particular method of interacting with local models you're interested in? We're already looking into support for Text Generation Interface via #89 which should allow for local models.

@collindutter I was thinking of maybe creating a driver for this: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki/API for interacting with stable-diffusion locally in particular.

@collindutter maybe I can just use griptapes RestApiClient to do what I need. I'll poke around at that this afternoon

[mgcollie]

yeah that works.

[collindutter]

@mgcollie the RestApiClient, or even a custom Tool, sounds like a suitable solution for now. But lets keep this issue open so we can continue evaluating a long term solution here.

Regarding the Driver, I'd like to avoid reliance on WebUI, feels a little off to me. What are some other options for getting SD running locally?

Closing as implemented in #1018.
