AUTOMATIC1111's stable-diffusion-webui is a powerful, user-friendly web interface built on the Gradio library that allows users to easily interact with Stable Diffusion models for AI-powered image generation. Supporting both text-to-image (txt2img) and image-to-image (img2img) generation, this open-source UI offers a rich feature set including inpainting, outpainting, attention control, and multiple advanced upscaling options. With a flexible installation process across Windows, Linux, and Apple Silicon, plus support for GPUs and CPUs, it caters to a wide range of users—from hobbyists to professionals. The interface also supports prompt editing, batch processing, custom scripts, and many community extensions, making it a highly customizable and continually evolving platform for creative AI art generation.

Originally developed by Google for internal use, TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. Available across all common operating systems (desktop, server and mobile), TensorFlow provides stable APIs for Python and C as well as APIs that are not guaranteed to be backwards compatible or are 3rd party for a variety of other languages. The platform can be easily deployed on multiple CPUs, GPUs and Google's proprietary chip, the tensor processing unit (TPU). TensorFlow expresses its computations as dataflow graphs, with each node in the graph representing an operation. Nodes take tensors—multidimensional arrays—as input and produce tensors as output. The framework allows for these algorithms to be run in C++ for better performance, while the multiple levels of APIs let the user determine how high or low they wish the level of abstraction to be in the models produced. Tensorflow can also be used for research and production with TensorFlow Extended.

Pipeless is an open-source computer vision framework to create and deploy applications without the complexity of building and maintaining multimedia pipelines. It ships everything you need to create and deploy efficient computer vision applications that work in real-time in just minutes. Pipeless is inspired by modern serverless technologies. It provides the development experience of serverless frameworks applied to computer vision. You provide some functions that are executed for new video frames and Pipeless takes care of everything else. You can easily use industry-standard models, such as YOLO, or load your custom model in one of the supported inference runtimes. Pipeless ships some of the most popular inference runtimes, such as the ONNX Runtime, allowing you to run inference with high performance on CPU or GPU out-of-the-box. You can deploy your Pipeless application with a single command to edge and IoT devices or the cloud.

CrypTen is a research framework developed by Facebook Research for privacy-preserving machine learning built directly on top of PyTorch. It provides a secure and intuitive environment for performing computations on encrypted data using Secure Multiparty Computation (SMPC). Designed to make secure computation accessible to machine learning practitioners, CrypTen introduces a CrypTensor object that behaves like a regular PyTorch tensor, allowing users to seamlessly apply automatic differentiation and neural network operations. Its design mirrors PyTorch’s modular and library-based structure, enabling flexible experimentation, debugging, and model development. The framework supports both encryption and decryption of tensors and operations such as addition and multiplication over encrypted values. Although not yet production-ready, CrypTen focuses on advancing real-world secure ML applications, such as training and inference over private datasets, without exposing sensitive data.
