Spaces:
Running

Zero
Zero stinks
Great! Promising! It's yet another example of how Zero is a de-volution. I would need to be able to stretch out in order to follow through on what you are saying in your paper. And I can't , because Zero use is throttled almost immediately. There is no point paying attention to your ideas because maybe the followthrough would take three hours for me, and I'm going to be informed long before that that my precious quota is depleted. This stinks. Everything after SD 2.1 stinks. If you come out with an unrestricted version, I would be interested in playing with it, but I am not going to "check back" when a day passes and I am blessed with a new allotment of processing consisting of about four runs. It's too choppy and kills trial-and-error.
If it was six months or a year ago and your Spaces demo came out on ordinary hosting, I would be excited. Now I am not.
I realize there is processing happening on my behalf and processing costs money. Well do you want users or don't you! Do you want explorer end-users en masse who are ambivalent about AI and stop by the spaces to use the tool, or do you want nothing but devoted insiders?
Thanks for voicing this out. I agree that zero is restricting and doesn't let you exploit your full creativity. As you rightly pointed out, we are currently restricted by the budget.
For this exact reason, we also open sourced our code here: https://github.com/rohitgandikota/sliderspace.
These scripts are optimized to run on free colab notebooks. This option should not restrict you :)
I am happy to help further to get you setup on colab. Let me know
Thanks for the message, I appreciate it.
None of this is your fault. I'm being spoiled. It's true there's Colab, but I am uncomfortable being in Google's panopticon for any length of time. I don't like having my actions proscribed by humongous vendors. This is fine.. you can't always get what you want. I will check back in six months, since things are changing fast. As the spotlight moves to something new, sometimes the restrictions come down on the thing that is no longer the center of attention but is still amazing.
You're definitely on to something good, which even the layperson can understand. A lot of us are asking "Why does it do what it does?"
I may go to Colab and you're right that this solves a problem. It just aggravates me about who has the power.
