Local Dream

Local Dream is an open source Android application that runs Stable Diffusion models using Snapdragon NPU acceleration, CPU, or GPU hardware.

Local Dream is an open source Android application designed to perform stable diffusion image generation directly on a device. It utilizes the Qualcomm QNN SDK for NPU model execution, alongside MNN for CPU inference and stable-diffusion.cpp for on-device performance optimizations. The application supports SD1.5 and SDXL models, with specific hardware requirements for NPU acceleration on Snapdragon chipsets. It incorporates features like image upscaling using Real-ESRGAN and UltraSharpV2, as well as NSFW content filtering. The interface is built using Jetpack Compose, and the project relies on various libraries for image processing, HTTP communication, and model management.
