That's a fantastic goal — and yes, you can create AI images and videos locally, for free,

while also deepening your coding and machine learning skills.

Here's a complete breakdown of what you'll need, including free, open-source tools that run
on your machine.

✅ What You Can Build Locally (and for Free)


Type What You Can Do Tools You’ll Use
Text-to-image, image-to-image, style
🖼️ Images Stable Diffusion, ControlNet
transfer
Deforum, AnimateDiff, RunwayML
🎥 Videos Image-to-video, text-to-video (basic)
(limited)
🛠 Fine- Train on your own data (e.g.
DreamBooth, LoRA, Diffusers
tuning DreamBooth)

🧰 Tools You Need (Locally)


1. Stable Diffusion (Core image generation engine)

 ✅ Open-source
 ✅ Works offline
 ✅ HuggingFace support or AUTOMATIC1111 Web UI

2. ControlNet (for edge control, poses, canny, etc.)

 Extends Stable Diffusion for guided generation

3. AnimateDiff / Deforum (image → video or animation from SD)

 Generates AI videos locally


 Animate prompts over time or animate characters

4. Diffusers Library by HuggingFace

 Pythonic and customizable interface to generate images/videos using PyTorch.

pip install diffusers transformers accelerate

🧰 Sample: Text to Image with Stable Diffusion (Python)


from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline
import torch
model_id = "runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5"
pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id,
torch_dtype=torch.float16)
pipe = pipe.to("cuda")

prompt = "a futuristic city skyline at sunset"


image = pipe(prompt).images[0]
image.save("city.png")

💡 You need a CUDA-compatible GPU with ~6GB+ VRAM. If you don’t have that, you can
run in CPU mode but much slower.

📽️ Sample: Animate Image with AnimateDiff (video from


prompt)
1. Clone from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/guoyww/AnimateDiff.git


cd AnimateDiff
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Place Stable Diffusion weights inside /models


3. Run the example:

python scripts/animate.py --config configs/animate.yaml --prompt "a dragon


flying over mountains"

This will generate a short video clip from your prompt.

🔄 Optional: Use AUTOMATIC1111 Web UI (GUI for


SD)
If you're more comfortable with GUI, install this:

git clone https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui.git


cd stable-diffusion-webui
python launch.py

Once running, open http://localhost:7860 and start generating!

🧰 Learn While You Code: What's Actually Happening


Layer What's Going On
Prompt Passed to a tokenizer (like CLIP), becomes a vector
Diffusion Model Starts with random noise, gradually denoises toward your prompt
Latent Space All generation happens in a compressed space, then decoded into an image
Schedulers Guide how the noise is removed (DDIM, Euler, etc.)

🧰 Minimum Requirements
Resource Recommended for Smooth Run
GPU (NVIDIA) 6GB VRAM or more (e.g., RTX 3060+)
RAM 8–16GB
Disk ~10–15GB space for models
OS Linux, macOS, or Windows

🆓 You Don’t Need Paid Tools


All of the following are free and open-source:

 Stable Diffusion – Image generation


 AnimateDiff – Video generation from prompt
 ControlNet – Guided image creation
 AUTOMATIC1111 – Full Web UI
 Deforum – Prompt-animated videos
 DreamBooth – Custom style/face training
 Diffusers – HuggingFace-backed model runner

🧰 Want a Learning Path?


1. Install Stable Diffusion and generate a few images from prompts.
2. Try ControlNet: generate an image based on a sketch or pose.
3. Use AnimateDiff or Deforum to make short animated clips.
4. Fine-tune your own model with DreamBooth on your images (e.g., your face).
5. Write scripts with diffusers to customize and automate generation.
