  Something that may be interesting for the reader of this thread: this project was possible only once I started to tell Opus that it needed to take a file with all the implementation notes, and also accumulating all the things we discovered during the development process. And also, the file had clear instructions to be taken updated, and to be processed ASAP after context compaction. This kinda enabled Opus to do such a big coding task in a reasonable amount of time without loosing track. Check the file IMPLEMENTATION_NOTES.md in the GitHub repo for more info.

  Is it just my connection or is the huggingface downloader completely broken? It was saturating my internet connection without making any progress whatsoever.EDIT: https://github.com/bodaay/HuggingFaceModelDownloader seems to be making progress.

  Thanks for sharing this — I appreciate your motivation in the README.One suggestion, which I have been trying to do myself, is to include a PROMPTS.md file. Since your purpose is sharing and educating, it helps others see what approaches an experienced developer is using, even if you are just figuring it out.One can use a Claude hook to maintain this deterministically. I instruct in AGENTS.md that they can read but not write it. It’s also been helpful for jumping between LLMs, to give them some background on what you’ve been doing.

  Regarding the meta experiment of using LLMs to transpile to a different language, how did you feel about the outcome / process, and would you do the same process again in the future?I've had some moments recently for my own projects as I worked through some bottle necks where I took a whole section of a project and said "rewrite in rust" to Claude and had massive speedups with a 0 shot rewrite, most recently some video recovery programs, but I then had an output product I wouldn't feel comfortable vouching for outside of my homelab setup.

  A suggestion born of experience: besides printing the seed for an image, add it to the image file as metadata. Otherwise, if you're me, you'll lose it.

  I ran a similar experiment last month and ported Qwen 3 Omni to llama cpp. I was able to get GGUF conversion, quantization, and all input and output modalities working in less than a week. I submitted the work as a PR to the codebase and understandably, it was rejected.https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/18404https://huggingface.co/TrevorJS/Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-GGUF

  If I asked Claude to do the same can I also just put MIT license on it with my name? https://github.com/black-forest-labs/flux2 uses Apache License apparently. I know it doesn't matter that much and as long as it's permissive and openly available people don't care it's just pedantics but still.

  As someone who doesn’t code in C and does more analytics work (SQL), is the code generated here “production grade?” One of the major criticisms I hear about llms is they tend to generate code that you wouldn’t want to maintain, is that the case here?

  > I believe that inference systems not using the Python stack (which I do not appreciate) are a way to free open models usage and make AI more accessible.What you're saying here is that you do not appreciate systems not using the Python stack, which I think is the opposite of what you wanted to say.

  > I wanted to see if, with the assistance of modern AI, I could reproduce this work in a more concise way, from scratch, in a weekend.I don't think it counts as recreating a project "from scratch" if the model that you're using was trained against it. Claude Opus 4.5 is aware of the stable-diffusion.cpp project and can answer some questions about it and its code-base (with mixed accuracy) with web search turned off.

  I supported Redis against Valkey because I felt software should not be appropriated like that.Now that the Redis author supports broad copyright violations and has turned into an LLM influencer, I regret having ever supported Redis. I have watched many open source authors, who have positioned themselves as rebels and open source populists, go fully corporate. This is the latest instance.

  I dont understand, so its just to generate the pic using a model. Isn't that trivial, whats the advantage of doing it in C? Is the model running in C? Readme is overly verbose and It seems like a project that just does one task and it costed the author $80.

  This is both awesome and scary. Yes, now we can embed image gen in things like game engines and photoshop or build our own apps. On the other hand, we can include image gen in anything…

  how fast is this compare to python based?
