In this tutorial I walk you through how to set up and use Stable Diffusion locally on a Mac M1. We'll use Stable Diffusion, text to speech, to generate the image of the disney princess below. I use tensorflow and the keras_cv package to convert text to images. If you do not have a GPU, follow along with this tutorial in this colab notebook after running the first few cells. Thanks to Santiago for a great tutorial from which I got a lot of inspiration for this video)
To ensure Tensforflow can access your GPU in your Mac follow the instialltion instructions here. You'll need to install most thing using the latest version of Miniconda.
Requirements:
- keras_cv
- tensorflow-datasets
- Python 3.8.0
- tensorflow-metal
- tensorflow-macos
