Basically, a cloud compute service for AI development. You run your code on their hardware.
**Why Paperspace?**
Paperspace is convenient, free, and you probably don't have a computer good enough to run the AI. They're aimed at professionals whereas Colab is literally for children.
You'll run your code on their powerful GPUs which is much faster and easier than locally on your computer.
Only if you feel limited by their free tier. You should have everything you need to generate ~~porn~~ really neat images. I'm pretty sure Paperspace is cheaper than Google Colab Pro.
Google Colab is an alternative, but their free tier is more restrictive than Paperspace's and has less powerful hardware. And, knowing Google, they probably record what you generate.
**But I want to run it on Google Colab!**
Ok fine. [Here's the official colab notebook by Voldy himself.](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1Iy-xW9t1-OQWhb0hNxueGij8phCyluOh)
**But I'd rather run it on my own computer!**
Running it in the cloud is much easier and you're less likely to mess up your OS, but since you insist here's a Docker container to make is simpler: [AbdBarho/stable-diffusion-webui-docker](https://github.com/AbdBarho/stable-diffusion-webui-docker)
## Let's do it!
1. [Create an Account](https://console.paperspace.com/signup) You will be asked for your phone number. **You can use a VOIP number such as Google Voice, they don't block it!**
