Picking a diffusion model workflow in ComfyUI or Invoke always felt like trial and error to find something compatible — or I'd just default to templates. So I built diffusionmodel dot net. It's indexed 392,609 models and groups them into compatible workflow bundles. #gamdev

Everytime there is model shrinkflation I start to get the itch for local again. Thought is quickly stamped out by the fact I had to wait 20mins for my Radeon W5700 to prompt process a paragraph.

Retro quake 1 palette, initial versions of a diffusion model stack search. Indexed models on civitai and built a compatiblity graph of base, LoRas and controlnet, users can query via keywords or terms. #stablediffusion #gamedev #indiedev

Thinking in UI is always single threaded, start to finish. Thinking in systems is like machinery that operates in a loop, compounding when it's parallel machines that operate in a loop.

Then the important decision between info or debug log levels for observability, and correct filtering. Another hour.

Agent codes complicated graph algo in a few seconds. Takes about 3 hours of back and forth to setup datadog log streaming. Guess that is what Stripe's new product is targeting.

@theleoborges Lunch IRL or online? 🙂

Wanna join me for lunch this Friday? People kept asking what using Liv4All looks like. So I recorded a fresh agent: zero context. That's the video. It only gets smarter from here. ...but now I have a reservation for two. Who's keen? last spots: liv4all.com

mv adaptor weights gone wrong via monkey patching #gamdev #diffusion guess the characters

problem with agentic engineering is the context switching of what productive thing a human can do while agent is "thinking"

Made a deterministic graph based approach to diffusion model compatibility, all models rated by co-usage to provide a workflow stack based on a discovery query. #stablediffusion #gamedev

On the value of code, Carmack states that code is just around to solve problems. Quake source code is arguably the most influential code in the history of gaming. Even if you don't understand C it is clear there is a Quality without a name to the source code #claude

@hardmaru Can we put a name to the visual and gfx design?

In an alternate timeline we’d be using Evangelion GUI designs rather than CLIs

auto #diffusion model discovery based on compatibility and popularity on #Civitai mainly checkpoints and LoRa for now

Strange that there no current matrix of consensus on diffusion model selection

getting lora working with stable-diffusion.cpp backend #diffusion #gamedev #tooling

#diffusion testing workflow nodes for stable-diffusion.cpp backend, a bit of a different take to the current paradigm of hugging face diffusers backend

Short musings on "cognitive debt" - I'm seeing this in my own work, where excessive unreviewed AI-generated code leads me to lose a firm mental model of what I've built, which then makes it harder to confidently make future decisions simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/15/co…
