### What similar AI studios charge their users
Consumer AI image/video platforms almost all run on paid monthly subscriptions β this is the same playbook you'd run under your own brand:
| Platform | Typical subscription range |
|---|---|
| Midjourney | ~$10β$120/mo (Basic β Mega) |
| Runway | ~$12β$76/mo (Standard β Unlimited), custom Enterprise |
| Kling AI | ~$10β$92/mo across Standard β Premier tiers |
| Luma Dream Machine | ~$10β$100+/mo |
| Pika | ~$8β$58/mo |
*(Figures are approximate, general-market ranges and change over time β check each platform's current pricing page before quoting them.)* With MuAPI White Label, you set these numbers yourself for your own end users β the subscription revenue is yours.

## β¬οΈ Download Desktop App
One-click installers β no Node.js or terminal required.
| Platform | Download |
|---|---|
| macOS Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) | [Open Generative AI-1.0.9-arm64.dmg](https://github.com/Anil-matcha/Open-Generative-AI/releases/download/v1.0.9/Open.Generative.AI-1.0.9-arm64.dmg) |
| macOS Intel (x64) | [Open Generative AI-1.0.9.dmg](https://github.com/Anil-matcha/Open-Generative-AI/releases/download/v1.0.9/Open.Generative.AI-1.0.9.dmg) |
| Windows (x64) | [Open Generative AI Setup 1.0.9.exe](https://github.com/Anil-matcha/Open-Generative-AI/releases/download/v1.0.9/Open.Generative.AI.Setup.1.0.9.exe) |
| Linux (Ubuntu x64) | [v1.0.9 release](https://github.com/Anil-matcha/Open-Generative-AI/releases/tag/v1.0.9) (`.AppImage` / `.deb`), or build locally with `npm run electron:build:linux`. |
All releases: [github.com/Anil-matcha/Open-Generative-AI/releases](https://github.com/Anil-matcha/Open-Generative-AI/releases)
### macOS Installation Guide
Because the app is not notarized by Apple, macOS Gatekeeper will block it on first launch. Follow these steps:
**Step 1** β Mount the DMG and drag the app to `/Applications`
**Step 2** β Open Terminal and run:
```bash
xattr -cr "/Applications/Open Generative AI.app"
```
**Step 3** β Right-click the app in `/Applications` β click **Open** β click **Open** again on the dialog
> You only need to do this once. After that, the app opens normally.
**Alternative (no Terminal):**
1. Try to open the app β macOS will block it
2. Go to **System Settings β Privacy & Security**
3. Scroll down to find _"Open Generative AI was blocked"_
4. Click **Open Anyway** β **Open**
### Windows Installation β SmartScreen warning fix
Windows SmartScreen may show a warning because the installer is not code-signed:
1. Click **More info** on the SmartScreen dialog
2. Click **Run anyway**
The app will install silently to `%LocalAppData%` with a Start Menu shortcut.
### Ubuntu / Linux Installation
Linux artifacts are available when building with Electron Builder:
```bash
# Build Linux installers (AppImage + .deb)
npm run electron:build:linux
```
Generated files are written to the `release/` folder:
- **AppImage** β portable, run directly after making executable:
```bash
chmod +x "release/Open Generative AI-*.AppImage"
./release/Open\ Generative\ AI-*.AppImage
```
- **.deb** β install on Debian/Ubuntu:
```bash
sudo apt install ./release/open-generative-ai_*_amd64.deb
```
If AppImage fails to start on older systems, install `libfuse2`:
```bash
sudo apt install libfuse2
```
#### Ubuntu 24.04+ / AppArmor sandbox restriction
Ubuntu 24.04 and later enable a kernel security policy (`apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns`) that blocks Chromium's user-namespace sandbox. If the app fails to start silently or crashes immediately, you have two options:
**Option A β Recommended: install the `.deb` instead.**
The `.deb` package ships an AppArmor profile that grants the required permission automatically on install with no system-wide changes.
**Option B β Temporary system fix (AppImage users):**
```bash
sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0
```
This lasts until next reboot. To make it permanent:
```bash
echo 'kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0' | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/99-userns.conf
```

## β‘ Local Model Inference (Desktop App Only)
The desktop app supports **two independent local engines**. Pick whichever fits the machine you actually run on:
| Engine | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| **sd.cpp** (bundled) | C++ engine from [stable-diffusion.cpp](https://github.com/leejet/stable-diffusion.cpp), runs on the same machine as the app. Metal GPU on Apple Silicon, CUDA/Vulkan/ROCm on Linux/Windows. | Image-only models. Works on Mac M-series. |
| **Wan2GP** (BYO install) | A user-installed [Wan2GP](https://github.com/deepbeepmeep/Wan2GP): either its folder on this machine (the app runs `wgp.py` itself) or its MCP server on another machine. Python + PyTorch on a CUDA/ROCm GPU. | Video models (Wan 2.1/2.2, Hunyuan, LTX-2) in **Video Studio** and large image models (Flux, Qwen-Image). NVIDIA/AMD GPU required on the Wan2GP machine; the desktop app itself can run on a Mac. |
Both engines share the same UI: open **Settings β Local Models** to configure each.
### Engine 1 β sd.cpp (bundled)
| Model | Type | Size | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Z-Image Turbo** β‘ | Diffusion Transformer | 2.5 GB + 2.7 GB aux | 8-step turbo. Heavy on memory. |
| **Z-Image Base** β‘ | Diffusion Transformer | 3.5 GB + 2.7 GB aux | 50-step high-quality. Heavy on memory. |
| **Dreamshaper 8** | SD 1.5 | 2.1 GB | 20-step versatile. Lightest tested option on Mac. |
| **Realistic Vision v5.1** | SD 1.5 | 2.1 GB | 25-step photorealistic |
| **Anything v5** | SD 1.5 | 2.1 GB | 20-step anime/illustration |
| **SDXL Base 1.0** | SDXL | 6.9 GB | 30-step high-res |
> **Z-Image models** require two shared auxiliary files (downloaded once, shared across both models):
> - **Qwen3-4B Text Encoder** β 2.4 GB
> - **FLUX VAE** β 335 MB
**How to use:**
1. Open **Settings β Local Models** in the desktop app
2. Install the **sd.cpp inference engine** (one click β auto-downloaded)
3. Download your chosen model (and auxiliary files for Z-Image)
4. In **Image Studio**, click the **β‘ Local** toggle next to the model selector
5. Select your local model and generate β no API key needed
All downloads happen inside the app. Nothing is installed system-wide.
By default, `sd.cpp` stores the engine, model weights, and temporary downloads under Electron's app data directory. Common paths are:
- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/open-generative-ai/local-ai`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%\open-generative-ai\local-ai`
- Linux: `~/.config/open-generative-ai/local-ai`
To keep multi-GB model weights on another drive, set `OPEN_GENERATIVE_AI_LOCAL_AI_DIR`
before launching the desktop app. The app will create `bin/`, `models/`, and `tmp/`
inside that directory, and **Settings -> Local Models** shows the resolved model folder.
Local engine output and download errors are written to the app process console, so launch
from Terminal or PowerShell when you need troubleshooting logs.
### Engine 2 β Wan2GP (your own install)
The app does **not** bundle Python or model weights for Wan2GP. Install Wan2GP yourself on a machine with a CUDA or ROCm GPU:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/deepbeepmeep/Wan2GP
cd Wan2GP
./install.sh # or install.bat on Windows
```
**Same machine (recommended).** In the desktop app open **Settings β Local Models β Wan2GP**, set the Wan2GP folder (Python defaults to `/venv/bin/python`), click **Save**, then **Check** β it runs `wgp.py --dry-run` on a test task. Each generation runs Wan2GP's headless CLI (`wgp.py --process settings.json`); weights download automatically the first time a model is used, and the download shows up in the progress bar.
**Another machine.** Start WanGP's MCP server there and put its URL (e.g. `http://192.168.1.42:7866/mcp`) in the same settings panel:
```bash
python wgp.py --mcp --mcp-api-version 1 --mcp-transport streamable-http --mcp-host 0.0.0.0 --mcp-port 7866
```
Use `--mcp-host 0.0.0.0` only on a trusted network (see Wan2GP's `docs/AUTHENTICATION.md` for OAuth/HTTPS). The Gradio web UI port (7860) is **not** an API and cannot be used here.
Then switch **Video Studio** to **β‘ Local** and pick a model. Models your Wan2GP version doesn't have are listed with the reason; models whose weights aren't downloaded yet are marked.
| Model | WanGP `model_type` | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Wan 2.1 1.3B** | `t2v_1.3B` | Video | Lightest option, 480p, ~8 GB VRAM |
| **Wan 2.2 14B T2V / I2V** | `t2v_2_2` / `i2v_2_2` | Video | 480p, slow on consumer GPUs; I2V needs a start frame |
| **Hunyuan Video 1.5** | `hunyuan_1_5_480_t2v` | Video | 480p T2V |
| **LTX-2 Distilled** | `ltx2_22B_distilled` | Video | 8 steps, 720p |
| **Flux.1 Dev** | `flux` | Image | Image Studio |
| **Qwen Image** | `qwen_image_20B` | Image | Image Studio |
> **Why the remote option?** Wan2GP's runtime (Sage attention, flash-attn, AWQ/GGUF kernels) is CUDA/ROCm-only β there is no MPS / Apple Silicon path. The MCP server lets a Mac-only user keep the desktop app while offloading inference to a Linux/Windows GPU box, a gaming PC on the LAN, or a rented RunPod/vast.ai instance.
> **Local inference is only available in the desktop app.** The hosted web version always uses cloud APIs.
### Hardware Notes
- **sd.cpp** runs on CPU (all platforms) and **Metal GPU** on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4); CUDA/Vulkan/ROCm on Linux/Windows.
- Metal GPU acceleration is built into the macOS desktop binary β significantly faster than CPU-only.
- Recommended for sd.cpp Z-Image: 16 GB RAM (7.4 GB weights + 2.4 GB compute buffer). On a base 8 GB M-series Mac, **Z-Image is known to hang the system** β stick to SD 1.5 there.
- For SD 1.5 on M2: expect ~1β2 s/step with the Metal dylib active. If you see ~10 s/step instead, the binary may have fallen back to CPU β see verification below.
### Verifying the SD 1.5 path (the fastest sanity test on Mac)
If you want to confirm sd.cpp is installed correctly without going through the UI, you can drive `sd-cli` directly. This is the same binary the app uses.
```bash
# 1. App data layout (created on first app launch)
APP_DATA="${OPEN_GENERATIVE_AI_LOCAL_AI_DIR:-$HOME/Library/Application Support/open-generative-ai/local-ai}"
ls "$APP_DATA/bin" # sd-cli, libstable-diffusion.dylib
ls "$APP_DATA/models" # whatever you've downloaded
# 2. Grab a small SD 1.5 model directly (Dreamshaper 8, ~2 GB)
curl -L --fail --progress-bar \
-o "$APP_DATA/models/DreamShaper_8_pruned.safetensors" \
"https://huggingface.co/Lykon/DreamShaper/resolve/main/DreamShaper_8_pruned.safetensors"
# 3. Run a single 512x512 / 12-step inference
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$APP_DATA/bin" "$APP_DATA/bin/sd-cli" \
-m "$APP_DATA/models/DreamShaper_8_pruned.safetensors" \
-p "a serene mountain lake at sunrise, oil painting" \
-o /tmp/sd15-test.png \
--steps 12 -H 512 -W 512 --cfg-scale 7.5 --seed 42 \
--sampling-method euler_a
```
A healthy run on Apple Silicon prints `total params memory size = 1969.78MB (VRAM 1969.78MB, RAM 0.00MB)` (Metal-backed) and produces a coherent 512Γ512 PNG. If `VRAM` is `0.00MB` instead, the dylib is CPU-only β check `otool -L "$APP_DATA/bin/libstable-diffusion.dylib" | grep -i metal` and reinstall the engine from **Settings β Local Models** if Metal is missing.

**Key capabilities:**
- **Templates** β Start from pre-built workflows (image chains, video pipelines, and more)
- **My Workflows** β Save and manage your own custom pipelines
- **Community** β Browse and run workflows published by other users
- **Node-based Builder** β Drag-and-drop visual editor to connect models and route outputs between steps
- **Playground** β Run any workflow interactively with a form UI; results render inline
- **API execution** β Every workflow is also callable via the Muapi API

### π Upload History & Picker
Every image you upload is saved locally (URL + thumbnail) so you never upload the same file twice:
- Click the upload button to open the **reference image picker**
- Previously uploaded images appear in a 3-column grid with thumbnails
- **Single-image models** β click a thumbnail to instantly select and close
- **Multi-image models** β toggle multiple thumbnails (shown with order numbers), then click **Use Selected**
- Upload new images with the **Upload files** button (supports multi-file selection in multi-image mode)
- Remove individual images from history with the β button
- History persists across browser sessions (stored in `localStorage`)
## π Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (v18+)
- A [Muapi.ai access key](https://muapi.ai/access-keys?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=open-generative-ai). Copy the generated key value into the app; do not enter the key name or label.
### Setup
> **Most users want the desktop app, not this dev path.** If you just want to run Open Generative AI on your machine, [download a prebuilt installer](#-download-desktop-app) instead β no Node.js required. The instructions below are for contributors building from source.
Pick the entry point that matches your goal:
- **Desktop app (Electron)** β `npm run electron:dev`
- **Hosted web version (Next.js)** β `npm run dev`
```bash
# Clone the repository (with submodules β required for the workflow + agent packages)
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Anil-matcha/Open-Generative-AI.git
cd Open-Generative-AI
# If you already cloned without --recurse-submodules, run this once:
# git submodule update --init --recursive
# Install dependencies + build workspace packages (studio, workflow, agents).
# This step is REQUIRED β `npm install` alone is not enough; the workspaces
# need to be built before either dev script will work.
npm run setup
# Then start ONE of:
npm run electron:dev # Desktop app (Electron + Vite) β recommended
npm run dev # Hosted web version (Next.js) β http://localhost:3000
```
You'll be prompted to enter your Muapi API key on first use (skip the key if you only plan to use local models).
> **Troubleshooting β `Couldn't find a 'pages' directory`**: this means Next.js can't see the `app/` folder. Confirm you're running `npm run dev` from the repo root (the directory that contains `app/`, `package.json`, and `next.config.mjs`), and that you cloned with submodules. Re-run `npm run setup` if `packages/Vibe-Workflow` or `packages/agents` are empty.
### Production Build
```bash
npm run build
npm run start
```
### Desktop App Build
Build native desktop apps with Electron:
```bash
# macOS (DMG β Intel + Apple Silicon)
npm run electron:build
# Windows (NSIS installer β x64 + ARM64)
npm run electron:build:win
# Linux (AppImage + DEB β x64)
npm run electron:build:linux
# Both platforms in one pass
npm run electron:build:all
```
Installers are output to the `release/` folder. Pre-built binaries are also available on the [Releases page](https://github.com/Anil-matcha/Open-Generative-AI/releases).
## ποΈ Architecture
The app is a **Next.js monorepo** with a shared `packages/studio` component library.
```
Open-Generative-AI/
βββ app/ # Next.js App Router
β βββ layout.js # Root layout (Tailwind, fonts)
β βββ page.js # Redirects β /studio
β βββ studio/
β βββ page.js # Studio page β renders StandaloneShell
βββ components/
β βββ StandaloneShell.js # Tab nav + BYOK (API key from localStorage)
β βββ ApiKeyModal.js # API key entry modal
βββ packages/

β βββ src/
β βββ index.js # Exports: ImageStudio, VideoStudio, AudioStudio, ClippingStudio, VibeMotionStudio, LipSyncStudio, RecastStudio, CinemaStudio, MarketingStudio, WorkflowStudio, AgentStudio, DesignAgentStudio, AppsStudio, AiInfluencerStudio, McpCliStudio
β βββ models.js # 400+ model definitions (single source of truth)
β βββ muapi.js # API client (named exports, apiKey as first param)
β βββ components/

β βββ VideoStudio.jsx # Dual-mode t2v/i2v studio
β βββ LipSyncStudio.jsx # Portrait/video + audio β talking video
β βββ CinemaStudio.jsx # Pro studio with camera controls
β βββ WorkflowStudio.jsx # Multi-step pipeline builder & playground
βββ next.config.mjs # transpilePackages: ['studio']
βββ tailwind.config.js
βββ package.json # workspaces: ["packages/studio"]
```
The `packages/studio` library is also consumed by the hosted version on [muapi.ai](https://muapi.ai?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=open-generative-ai) β model updates made in `packages/studio/src/models.js` apply to both the self-hosted app and the hosted version automatically.
## π API Integration
The app communicates with [Muapi.ai](https://muapi.ai?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=open-generative-ai) using a two-step pattern:
1. **Submit** β `POST /api/v1/{model-endpoint}` with prompt and parameters
2. **Poll** β `GET /api/v1/predictions/{request_id}/result` until status is `completed`
Authentication uses the `x-api-key` header. During development, a Vite proxy handles CORS by routing `/api` requests to `https://api.muapi.ai`.
File uploads use `POST /api/v1/upload_file` (multipart/form-data) and return a hosted URL that is passed to image-conditioned models. For multi-image models the full `images_list` array is forwarded to the API in one request.
Lip sync jobs use the same two-step pattern: a dedicated `processLipSync()` method accepts `image_url` or `video_url` alongside `audio_url`, dispatches to the model's endpoint, and polls until the output video URL is available.
