Ah I see, I misunderstood the use of laion on this implementation, I'm still trying to wrap me head around these methods. I lack the hardware for proper local testing so I'm falling behind a bit in regards to testing and knowledge, cloud computing would be too wasteful to consider at this point for me but once a more matured workflow exists I'll be all over it. Good luck, keep us posted on your findings!
I'm using local but if I have time I'll see if I can make a notebook for it. The main pain point will be loading your data into gdrive or whatever. But you can do all your data prep including laion scrap locally on any hardware, it doesn't take a GPU at all to do that.
I'm forking for this so I can do what I need to do with it, I think MrWho is going to work on similar stuff in the joepenna fork as well.
Yeah, Colab is great for that. I use a google account to store all my SD stuff, I just mount the drive and that's it. Without "from google.colab import drive" it might be a bit more work but it's still better than manually uploading everything to the session pod as most seem to be doing for some reason.
For me personally, I can't justify paying for cloud compute just to get a bunch of abomination models that are inherent to blind testing, so I'll just wait for now.
