Why focus on mobile?

Near real-time rendering while entering a prompt on desktop would be even more amazing!

Imagine e.g. UI sliders for adding weight to multi-prompts like "night time" (ideally sliding from [day time]:1, [night time]:0 to both zero, to all night with 0,1).

- It's significantly easier to monetize mobile apps (both with ads and in-app purchases)

- Open projects already dominate the desktop space

- There are a growing number of younger people who aren't really computer literate, or otherwise just use their phone as their primary computing device.

- Phones go into social situations where desktops/laptops don't.

Phones also have cameras built-in, which would fit well with img2img.

It has a total latency of 200ms on a A100 40G.
