But for owners of Arc graphics cards, Intel believes you should just have fun and mess around with it. To that end, it has released a beta version of AI Playground, a free and open-source application that lets you use your Alchemist GPU to generate and edit AI images and talk nonsense with a chatbot.<\/p>\n<p>Intel <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/game.intel.com\/us\/stories\/sneak-peek-ai-playground-ai-made-easy-for-intel-arc-gpus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first teased<\/a> AI Playground at Computex, earlier this year, and now a public <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/intel\/AI-Playground\/releases\/tag\/v1.0beta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">beta version of the app is available to download<\/a> for Windows. You&apos;ll need an Arc graphics card with 8 GB or more of VRAM\u2014it won&apos;t run on any other GPU, unfortunately.<\/p>\n<p>The installation will pull a copy of Python off the Internet if you don&apos;t have it already installed. If you do have Python on your gaming PC and AI Playground crashes when you run it, it&apos;s probably a version conflict and the only option to resolve the problem, at the moment, is to remove all instances of Python you currently have.<\/p>\n<p>AI Playground&apos;s main features are the text-to-image and image-to-image generative tools that use <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/huggingface.co\/runwayml\/stable-diffusion-v1-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stable Diffusion 1.5<\/a> as the primary model of choice. You can try that system without using Intel&apos;s app, of course, via Hugging Face&apos;s online generator but the idea behind AI Playground is that it&apos;s all run locally\u2014slower than a dedicated server perhaps but certainly a lot more private and secure.<\/p>\n<p>I gave it a go using an <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/intel-arc-a770-limited-edition-review-performance-benchmarks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arc A770<\/a>, which has 16 GB of VRAM, and the first thing I noticed was the installation process is pretty long, as it needs to pull all the files and models it needs off various servers. If you have a slow net connection, be prepared to give some time to finish the whole process. Once done, you can fire up the app, wait a few seconds for it to initialise, and then you&apos;re free to mess about.<\/p>\n<p>Well, not immediately. The moment I entered some text to generate an image, the app spat out a message saying I didn&apos;t have the right AI model installed. Another download (this one is a bit quicker than the others) and bingo! I had my first piece of generative AI art nonsense.<\/p>\n<p>The result from just using &apos;an astronaut riding a horse&apos; wasn&apos;t too bad but the real surprise was just how fast it was\u2014less than four seconds to generate the 512 x 512 image. Interestingly, Intel&apos;s system automatically includes two negative prompts, bad hands and nfsw, so you won&apos;t be churning unsavoury images without being highly creative with the prompts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery inline-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 1 of 4<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2160px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:66.06%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"u8ngkoRhwvtHJ4DkMSoddG\" name=\"intel_ai_playground_02.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshots of Intel's July beta version of AI Playground\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/i-downloaded-intels-new-ai-playground-beta-and-may-have-finally-found-something-arc-is-honestly-good-at.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2160\" height=\"1427\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Intel Corporation)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 2 of 4<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2160px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:66.06%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"YLr8AbCz6ZJCbKJfbRTwTG\" name=\"intel_ai_playground_03.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshots of Intel's July beta version of AI Playground\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/i-downloaded-intels-new-ai-playground-beta-and-may-have-finally-found-something-arc-is-honestly-good-at-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2160\" height=\"1427\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Intel Corporation)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 3 of 4<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2160px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:66.06%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"nEZ4xWdhXpJPWuxWebVyHG\" name=\"intel_ai_playground_04.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshots of Intel's July beta version of AI Playground\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/i-downloaded-intels-new-ai-playground-beta-and-may-have-finally-found-something-arc-is-honestly-good-at-2.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2160\" height=\"1427\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Intel Corporation)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 4 of 4<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2160px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:66.06%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"r5GNW6qMgeuVssU59ZQi2G\" name=\"intel_ai_playground_05.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshots of Intel's July beta version of AI Playground\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/i-downloaded-intels-new-ai-playground-beta-and-may-have-finally-found-something-arc-is-honestly-good-at-3.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2160\" height=\"1427\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Intel Corporation)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>From here, you can pass your creation onto the image-to-image generator, which offers upscaling, inpainting, and outpainting to enhance what you&apos;ve made (or any other picture, for that matter).
