## 💰 Turn This Into Your Own Product — White Label & Resell

Want to launch this as **your own branded AI studio** and charge your own customers for it? [MuAPI White Label](https://muapi.ai/white-label?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=open-generative-ai) lets you spin up a fully white-labeled version of this app — your logo, your colors, your custom domain, your own pricing — with zero infra to manage. You keep the markup on every generation; MuAPI handles the models, the queue, and the billing plumbing underneath.

- **Your branding** — logo, color theme, and a custom domain (e.g. `studio.yourbrand.com`)
- **Your pricing** — set your own credit/subscription prices for end users, keep the margin
- **No infra** — no servers, workers, or model hosting to run yourself
- **All studios included** — Image, Video, Audio, Lip Sync, Cinema, Workflows, and more, depending on plan

Plans start at $49/mo. [Get started with White Label →](https://muapi.ai/white-label?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=open-generative-ai)

### What similar AI studios charge their users

Consumer AI image/video platforms almost all run on paid monthly subscriptions — this is the same playbook you'd run under your own brand:

| Platform | Typical subscription range |
|---|---|
| Midjourney | ~$10–$120/mo (Basic → Mega) |
| Runway | ~$12–$76/mo (Standard → Unlimited), custom Enterprise |
| Kling AI | ~$10–$92/mo across Standard → Premier tiers |
| Luma Dream Machine | ~$10–$100+/mo |
| Pika | ~$8–$58/mo |

*(Figures are approximate, general-market ranges and change over time — check each platform's current pricing page before quoting them.)* With MuAPI White Label, you set these numbers yourself for your own end users — the subscription revenue is yours.

## ⬇️ Download Desktop App

One-click installers — 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** — Mount the DMG and drag the app to `/Applications`

**Step 2** — Open Terminal and run:
```bash
xattr -cr "/Applications/Open Generative AI.app"
```

**Step 3** — Right-click the app in `/Applications` → click **Open** → 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 — macOS will block it
2. Go to **System Settings → Privacy & Security**
3. Scroll down to find _"Open Generative AI was blocked"_
4. Click **Open Anyway** → **Open**

### Windows Installation — 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** — portable, run directly after making executable:
  ```bash
  chmod +x "release/Open Generative AI-*.AppImage"
  ./release/Open\ Generative\ AI-*.AppImage
  ```
- **.deb** — 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 — 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 — 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
```

## ⚡ 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 → Local Models** to configure each.

### Engine 1 — sd.cpp (bundled)

| Model | Type | Size | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Z-Image Turbo** ⚡ | Diffusion Transformer | 2.5 GB + 2.7 GB aux | 8-step turbo. Heavy on memory. |
| **Z-Image Base** ⚡ | 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** — 2.4 GB
> - **FLUX VAE** — 335 MB

**How to use:**
1. Open **Settings → Local Models** in the desktop app
2. Install the **sd.cpp inference engine** (one click — auto-downloaded)
3. Download your chosen model (and auxiliary files for Z-Image)
4. In **Image Studio**, click the **⚡ Local** toggle next to the model selector
5. Select your local model and generate — 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 — 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 → Local Models → Wan2GP**, set the Wan2GP folder (Python defaults to `<folder>/venv/bin/python`), click **Save**, then **Check** — 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 **⚡ 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 — 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 — 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** — stick to SD 1.5 there.
- For SD 1.5 on M2: expect ~1–2 s/step with the Metal dylib active. If you see ~10 s/step instead, the binary may have fallen back to CPU — 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 512×512 PNG. If `VRAM` is `0.00MB` instead, the dylib is CPU-only — check `otool -L "$APP_DATA/bin/libstable-diffusion.dylib" | grep -i metal` and reinstall the engine from **Settings → Local Models** if Metal is missing.

## ✨ Features

- **Image Studio** — Generate images from text prompts (50+ text-to-image models) or transform existing images (55+ image-to-image models). Switches model set automatically based on whether a reference image is provided. Quality and resolution controls visible for models that support them.
- **Local Inference** — Two engines: **sd.cpp** (bundled, runs on Mac/Win/Linux with Metal/CUDA/Vulkan/ROCm) for SD 1.5, SDXL, and Z-Image; and **Wan2GP** (your own install — local folder or remote MCP server) for Flux, Qwen-Image, and video models in Video Studio (Wan 2.1/2.2, Hunyuan, LTX-2). Configure both in Settings → Local Models.
- **Multi-Image Input** — Upload up to 14 reference images for compatible edit models (Nano Banana 2 Edit, Flux Kontext Dev, GPT-4o Edit, and more). Multi-select picker with order badges, batch upload, and a "Use Selected" confirmation flow.

### 🖼️ Image Studio — Dual Mode

The Image Studio automatically switches between two model sets:

#### Newly Added Models

#### Multi-Image Input

Models that accept multiple reference images expose a multi-select picker when active:

| Model | Max Images |
| :--- | :--- |
| Nano Banana 2 Edit | 14 |
| Nano Banana Edit | 10 |
| Flux Kontext Dev I2I | 10 |
| Kling O1 Edit Image | 10 |
| GPT-4o Edit / GPT Image 1.5 Edit | 10 |
| Bytedance Seedream Edit v4 / v4.5 | 10 |
| Vidu Q2 Reference to Image | 7 |
| Flux 2 Flex/Pro Edit | 8 |
| Nano Banana Pro Edit | 8 |
| Flux Kontext Pro/Max I2I | 2 |
| Wan 2.5/2.6 Image Edit | 2–3 |
| Qwen Image Edit Plus / 2511 | 3 |
| GPT-4o Image to Image | 5 |
| Flux 2 Klein 4b/9b Edit | 4 |

When a multi-image model is selected the upload trigger switches to multi-select mode:
- **Checkboxes with order numbers** — images are sent to the model in the order you select them
- **Batch upload** — pick multiple files at once from your file dialog
- **Count badge** on the trigger shows how many images are active; a `+` badge appears when more slots are available
- **"Use Selected" button** confirms and closes the picker

### 🎬 Video Studio — Dual Mode

The Video Studio follows the same pattern:

#### Newly Added Models

### 🎙️ Lip Sync Studio

The **Lip Sync Studio** generates audio-driven talking videos using 9 models across two input modes:

#### Image-based Models (Portrait Image + Audio → Video)

#### Video-based Models (Video + Audio → Lipsync Video)

| Model | Endpoint | Resolutions | Prompt |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Sync Lipsync** | `sync-lipsync` | — | — |
| **LatentSync** | `latentsync-video` | — | — |
| **Creatify Lipsync** | `creatify-lipsync` | — | — |
| **Veed Lipsync** | `veed-lipsync` | — | — |
| **Infinite Talk V2V** | `infinitetalk-video-to-video` | 480p, 720p | Optional |

**How it works:**
1. Select **Portrait Image** or **Video** mode using the toggle
2. Upload your portrait image (or video) using the image/video upload button
3. Upload your audio file using the audio upload button
4. Optionally enter a prompt to guide the motion style
5. Select a model and resolution (where supported), then click **Generate**

Generation history is saved separately in `lipsync_history` and pending jobs resume automatically on page reload.

### 🔀 Workflow Studio

The **Workflow Studio** lets you build and run multi-step AI pipelines without writing code.

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

> **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 — no Node.js required. The instructions below are for contributors building from source.

- **Desktop app (Electron)** → `npm run electron:dev`
- **Hosted web version (Next.js)** → `npm run dev`

```bash
# Clone the repository (with submodules — 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 — `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) — recommended
npm run dev            # Hosted web version (Next.js) → 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 — `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 — Intel + Apple Silicon)
npm run electron:build

# Windows (NSIS installer — x64 + ARM64)
npm run electron:build:win

# Linux (AppImage + DEB — 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).

## 🏗️ Architecture

The app is a **Next.js monorepo** with a shared `packages/studio` component library.

└── 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) — model updates made in `packages/studio/src/models.js` apply to both the self-hosted app and the hosted version automatically.

## 🔌 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** — `POST /api/v1/{model-endpoint}` with prompt and parameters
2. **Poll** — `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.
