Show HN: I'm building an open source alternative to Topaz Photo AI

Hacker News (AI)
Generative AI

Before I start, I know that many people, including myself, have an aversion to "AI apps" nowadays, because these projects are often just thin wrappers around ChatGPT's API to do the heavy lifting. This is not one of those projects. In this case, all the AI logic in my project is implemented directly: data pre-processing, post-processing, inference, tiling, tensor operations, and everything in between are handled entirely within the project, with no external API doing the heavy lifting. With that said… This project aims to be an open-source alternative to Topaz Photo AI.
