How To Make AI Images Of Yourself (Free)
AI Summary
Summary of YouTube Video Transcript
- The video demonstrates how to include one’s own face into AI-generated images using the flux AI image generation model.
- The creator has previously made videos on similar topics using older models like stable diffusion 1.4, 2, XL, and 3.
- The process has become faster and easier compared to the past, where it took over two hours and required constant monitoring to prevent timeouts.
- The creator used a tool called file. a and a model called flux realism Laura, which costs around $5 to train for 1000 steps.
- A Google Colab is also available for training, which takes about 2 hours on an A100 GPU, requiring a Pro Plan at $10 a month.
- The video introduces a free method to train the model using a site called replicate.to, which normally charges for GPU usage.
- The creator provides a coupon code for replicate.to, which offsets the cost of training the model.
- Detailed instructions are given on how to set up and train the model on replicate.to, including creating a new model, uploading images, and using a huggingface token.
- The training process takes about 24-26 minutes and costs approximately 2.28.
- After training, the model can be used to generate images with one’s likeness, costing about 9 cents per image on replicate.to.
- The creator offers a $10 credit for replicate.to, allowing for approximately 86 free image generations.
- A bonus tip is provided on using Claude to optimize prompts for better image quality.
- The creator demonstrates generating various images with different prompts, including himself as a wizard and a basketball player.
- A best practice tip is shared: placing the trigger word (e.g., “Mr eow”) as the first word in the prompt yields better results.
- The video concludes with showcasing how to animate the generated images using Runway gen 3.
