This release is an early alpha preview of AI Playground 2.0. This release provides a single installer for all supported hardware including the latest Intel Arc B580 GPU.

In this release

  • All features from AI Playground v1.22b
  • A single installation executable able to install on all currently AI Playground supported Intel Arc GPU hardware: Intel Core Ultra-H Series 1, Intel Core Ultra Series 2, Intel Arc Series A GPUs or Intel Arc Series B GPUs with 8GB+ of vRAM.
  • New runtime installer to manage the online installation and restart functions of required or optional backend components
  • New optional ComfyUI backend to support workflow mode for image generation
  • New optional Llama.cpp backend to support GGUF file support in the Answer chatbot section
  • Workflow flow modes leveraging curated ComfyUI workflows to be used in AI Playground
  • Workflow synch supporting download of latest workflows from the AI Playground project
  • Flux.1-Schnell workflows, leveraging either Q4 or Q8 quantization
  • Line2Image workflow using SDXL and ControlNet Canny models for fast generation of images influenced by the structure of another image
  • FaceSwap workflow using SDXL to control the likeness of an image based on a reference image (non commercial use only)
  • Add Model tool to easy add and install LLM models using hugging face IDs
  • Image resolution scale tool, to set the resolution in megapixels

Known Issues

  • PC restart needed before running, otherwise can result in poor performance or functionality issues
  • Performance degradation can happen after running a few different high memory models. Restarting backends through Backend Installation Manager will restore performance
  • Caching issues may cause image workflow settings to be entered in defaults. If odd results are generated double check resolution and steps are correct for the model
  • Network firewalls and protected networks can interrupt or block the installation process. Install using an open network.
  • Alternate Python and Git installations on the PC may conflict with installation.
