Layla v5 is a major update that comes with a host of new features!
Layla supports local image generation via Stable Diffusion!
Stable diffusion is an image generating model. Now you will be able to run it locally on your device without any connection to external services!
Layla comes with 6 pre-built models covering a wide variety of use cases:
two base models (SD 1.5 and SDXL)
dreamshaper for realistic photography
anime (japanese cartoon) focused model
pixar (western cartoon) focused model
nsfw focused model (though all other models can generate nsfw images to some extent)
Stable Diffusion mini-app has configurable prompt/negative prompt, step number, and guidance scale.
You can also connect to your local instance of Automatic1111/stable-diffusion-webui on your PC
Additionally, Layla Cloud also supports image generation!
Characters can now generate images during chat!
added new settings in character creation which allows you to set per character image generation settings
configurable fallback phrases to force your character to send you an image
quick message action to generate an image using the contents of a particular chat message
Model Benchmarks app - benchmark your local LLMs on your phone
run inference on local LLMs, store tps, ram usage, cpu usage, etc. in a table
generate report with hardware info and benchmark results
AI Character Creation
generate characters by inputting keywords or vague descriptions
LLM will generate the character description and personality for you
generate images for your character using Layla Stable Diffusion
Long term Memory
re-wrote Long-term memory with significant algorithmic improvements
employs a 3 stage retrieval algorithm to increase recall precision dramatically
LTM now supports "temporal recall" (you can mention something like *"that conversation we had 3 months ago"*, your characters will be able to pinpoint the conversation summary at that time, if any)
memories are now strengthened over time, earlier memories are now less likely to be returned, however, frequently recalled memories will offset this
