๐Ÿ‘‹ Hello

I build open source AI apps. To finance my work i also build paid versions of my code. But feel free to use the free code. I post features and new projects on https://twitter.com/philz1337x

๐Ÿ—ž๏ธ Updates

๐Ÿ”Ž Upscaling with Flux

Flux Upscaling is now available at ClarityAI.co/flux-upscaler and is not open-source

  • It supports Flux LoRas with a style or a face
  • It's very good at faces, text, art, and generating error-free images

๐Ÿš€ Options to use Clarity-Upscaler

Note that this repository is an implementation for cog. If you are not familiar with cog, I recommend the easier solutions. The free options are ComfyUI and A1111, while the paid but easy-to-use options are my app ClarityAI.co and the ComfyUI API Node.

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป App

The simplest option to use Clarity is with the app at ClarityAI.co

โš™๏ธ API

To integrate Clarity Upscaler with an API into your application use: ClarityAI.co/API

๐Ÿฐ ComfyUI

1. API node

  1. Open ComfyUI Manager, search for Clarity AI, and install the node.
  2. Create an API key at: ClarityAI.co/ComfyUI
  3. Add the API key to the node as a) envirement variable CAI_API_KEY OR b) to a cai_platform_key.txt text file OR c) in api_key_override field of the node.

Full instructions: https://github.com/philz1337x/ComfyUI-ClarityAI

2. Free workflow

  1. Download the repo https://github.com/philz1337x/ComfyUI-ClarityAI and use the file free-wokflow.json

๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ Cog

If you are not familiar with cog read: <a href=https://github.com/replicate/cog/blob/main/docs/getting-started-own-model.md>cog docs</a>

  • run download_weights.py

  • predict with cog:

su
cog predict -i image="link-to-image"

๐Ÿคนโ€โ™‚๏ธ A1111 webUI
