Aigen
Local AI generation pipelines — ACE-Step music, ComfyUI image.
A small home-lab rig for end-to-end local generation: ComfyUI for image, ACE-Step for music, a thin orchestration layer that lets a single prompt fan out across modalities. Hardware is a single workstation-class GPU; the interesting work is in the orchestration — keeping the model weights resident long enough to amortise load time, scheduling jobs so the GPU is not idle and not thrashing, persisting the prompt-and-seed metadata alongside the outputs so a result can be re-rolled or re-walked months later.
Personal tool. The lesson worth carrying into client work is that “local generation” is operationally cheaper than people assume once the orchestration is in place — the hard part stops being the model, and starts being the queue.
