Nah, that's running on a laptop with the actual AI stuff being rendered on my gaming PC. I think that's basically what all the AI tools on phones do as well. It's just some company's gaming PC.
Not quite a "gaming PC" since, at least if they're using something like Nvidia's Hopper GPUs (or relying on another service that does), they're not designed for gaming (and in the price range of $10k-$100kish), buuut if you ignore the finer details then fundamentally it's basically like that. They'd send the image to their "very expensive gaming PC server" where the inferencing would be done.
There is one app that runs the model on an iPhone. It’s called “draw things: ai generation“. But you aren’t wrong about AI image generation usually needing a gaming pc or at least a video card with a lot of video ram to hold the model in while it works.
Ahhhh that makes a lot more sense, thanks!
