About the project

Diffusion model inference (Stable Diffusion, FLUX, Wan, Qwen Image, etc.) implemented in pure C/C++ on top of ggml — like llama.cpp but for image and video generation. Runs without external dependencies on CPU, CUDA, Vulkan, Metal and other backends.

Useful for

Generate an image from a text prompt with a single sd-cli command locally
Run Stable Diffusion or FLUX on CPU without a GPU or Python environment
Convert model weights to GGUF format to reduce memory usage

Why it’s trending

4 stars so far today, about 12 expected by the end of the day.
Over the last two days the pace is 2.5× that of the previous week and a half.
The spike has held for 2 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
GitHub Trending C++ today: #5, +29 stars.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
