SDXL image generation now works on iPhone via Off Grid app

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The open-source app Off Grid, which enables on-device AI image generation, has fixed a bug that prevented SDXL models from running on iPhones. The issue stemmed from the app's validation code only recognizing a monolithic UNet file layout, while most SDXL models use a chunked layout. This oversight caused months of user-reported problems. The fix allows users to generate SDXL images on an iPhone 15 Pro in approximately 30-45 seconds without an internet connection. AI

IMPACT Enables on-device AI image generation for users without cloud dependency.
