Machine Learning in Linux: Imaginer – generate images with AI
Our Machine Learning in Linux series focuses on apps that make it easy to experiment with machine learning.
Imaginer is GTK4 software which lets you generate pictures using AI. You supply a text prompt, consisting of a collection of words to describe an image, and an AI model creates an image based on the words. Imaginer uses Stable Diffusion and other deep learning, text-to-image models to generate the images.
An extremely interesting area of research relates to these deep learning text-to-image models. We’ve published reviews of software that uses Stable Diffusion. Our reviews of Easy Diffusion, Stable Diffusion web UI, and InvokeAI noted each software program requires downloading large models. The software performs best when using a machine with a good dedicated graphics card. That’s not the case with Imaginer.
