MochiDiffusion

What it does

Runs image generation on macOS through Apple's Core ML Stable Diffusion implementation, so it is tuned for Apple Silicon rather than being a port of a cross-platform tool. Everything happens on your machine. The catch is model format: it needs models converted to Core ML, so you cannot simply drop in the checkpoints distributed for other interfaces - you find converted ones or convert them yourself.

MochiDiffusion FAQ

You install it like a normal desktop app. No command line involved.

Does MochiDiffusion work on a phone?
