Looks like it's hugged to hiatus in a different way. The inrush traffic created considerable cost for them, so they have turned image generation off.

We're working on putting it back online - should be up in a few minutes!

It's back up now

Little feedback on the site; the site is very hard to use on my current laptop at 1920x1080 - overflow is hidden so I can't scroll to the button to perform the generation (and after disabling overflow hidden in dev tools I can see that's because the page is designed to be a very static height).

Great concept though!

Thanks for the feedback :)

Btw the code is open source and available here: https://github.com/vidalmaxime/streetview-diffusion

Could you make it a bit more verbose? You really should provide some kind of feedback about what's going on. Am I waiting for something? Or is it broken? No information there.

How long is the generation going to take ? It's been spinning for some time here (Firefox)...

Did you ever find out? I'm several minutes in and about to bail.

open the console and count the errors for yourself

Down again?

I wonder if this is:

AI use in the real world is still early on, and so it is expensive.

Whoa, slashdot (I guess I'm old, perhaps reddit) effect and we can not afford the bandwidth, quick turn it off!

Same as above but with CPU costs.

I am curious to know the limiting factor.

It's "An AI worthy GPU is scarce and its TDP is 450+ watts, so it's doubly expensive, turn it off!".

CPU's are way cheaper when compared to GPUs, and image bandwidth is at most "mneh!" in Slashdot or in The Register terms. tips hat

Reported from a data center warmed by GPUs.

They could do like everyone else and add ads or ask for donations

indeed, the dev is asking for donations (buy me a coffee link on top right)
