This project is a very basic implementation of the Cloudflare Workers AI service. The AI service is still in beta (especially models that I'm using
Meta's Llama 3[text generation] &Dreamshaper[image generation]) and may not be as accurate as expected. The project is intended to showcase the capabilities of the service and may not be suitable for production use. -
If you encounter any issues with the project, please feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request. I would be happy to help you out!.
This project was possible thanks to an awesome dev Dhravya Shah who built the early implementation of this project on his first live stream. You can check out the stream here. I built upon his work and added a few more features to the project. Thanks, Dhravya! 🚀
