# AI Comic Factory
## Running the project at home
First, I would like to highlight that everything is open-source (see [here](https://huggingface.co/spaces/jbilcke-hf/ai-comic-factory/tree/main), [here](https://huggingface.co/spaces/jbilcke-hf/VideoChain-API/tree/main), [here](https://huggingface.co/spaces/hysts/SD-XL/tree/main), here).
However the project isn't a monolithic Space that can be duplicated and ran immediately:
it requires various components to run for the frontend, backend, LLM, SDXL etc.
If you try to duplicate the project, you will see it requires some variables:
- `HF_INFERENCE_ENDPOINT_URL`: This is the endpoint to call the LLM
- `HF_API_TOKEN`: The Hugging Face token used to call the inference endpoint (if you intent to use a LLM hosted on Hugging Face)
- `RENDERING_ENGINE_API`: This is the API that generates images
- `VC_SECRET_ACCESS_TOKEN`: Token used to call the rendering engine API (not used yet, but it's gonna be because [πΈ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_such_thing_as_a_free_lunch))
This is the architecture for the current production AI Comic Factory.
-> If you intend to run it with local, cloud-hosted and/or proprietary models **you are going to need to code π¨βπ»**.
## The LLM API (Large Language Model)
Currently the AI Comic Factory uses [Llama-2 70b](https://huggingface.co/blog/llama2) through an [Inference Endpoint](https://huggingface.co/docs/inference-endpoints/index).
You have two options:
## Option 1: Fork and modify the code to use another LLM
If you fork the AI Comic Factory, you will be able to use another API and model, such a locally-running Llama 7b.
To run the LLM locally, you can use [TGI](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference) (Please read [this post](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference/issues/726) for more information about licensing).
## Option 2: Fork and modify the code to use human content instead
Another option could be to disable the LLM completely and replace it with a human-generated story instead (by returning mock or static data).
## Notes
It is possible that I modify the AI Comic Factory to make it easier in the future (eg. add support for OpenAI or Replicate)
## The Rendering API
This API is used to generate the panel images. This is an API I created for my various projects at Hugging Face.
I haven't written documentation for it yet, but basically it is "just a wrapper β’" around other existing APIs:
- The [hysts/SD-XL](https://huggingface.co/spaces/hysts/SD-XL?duplicate=true) Space by [@hysts](https://huggingface.co/hysts)
- And other APIs for making videos, adding audio etc.. but you won't need them for the AI Comic Factory
### Option 1: Deploy VideoChain yourself
You will have to [clone](https://huggingface.co/spaces/jbilcke-hf/VideoChain-API?duplicate=true) the [source-code](https://huggingface.co/spaces/jbilcke-hf/VideoChain-API/tree/main)
Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to write the documentation for VideoChain yet.
(When I do I will update this document to point to the VideoChain's README)
### Option 2: Use another SDXL API
If you fork the project you will be able to modify the code to use the Stable Diffusion technology of your choice (local, open-source, your custom HF Space etc)
## Notes
It is possible that I modify the AI Comic Factory to make it easier in the future (eg. add support for Replicate)
