About
World's smallest, cheapest anime-style T2I base
HDM(Home made Diffusion Model) is a project to investigate specialized training recipe/scheme for "pretraining T2I model at home" which require the training setup should be exectuable on customer level hardware or cheap enough second handed server hardware.
Under this constraint, we introduce a new transformer backbone designed for multi-modal (for example, text-to-image) generative model called "XUT" (Cross-U-Transformer). With minimalized arch design with TREAD technique, we can achieve usable performan with computes that cost 650USD at most. (based on pricing from vast.ai)

How it works
Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys hdm-xut-anime for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (hdm-xut-anime below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/images/generations \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"hdm-xut-anime","prompt":"a red bicycle","size":"1024x1024"}'
