To run Stable Diffusion on an iPad, you can follow these steps:

  1. Model Preparation:

    • Start with a pre-trained model, such as one from PyTorch.
    • Convert the model into Core ML format using Core ML tools. This involves optimizing the model for performance and size, which is crucial for running on mobile devices like the iPad. Techniques such as quantization can help reduce the model size significantly.
  2. Model Compression:

    • Compress the model to fit within the constraints of the iPad. For instance, applying 6-bit palletization can reduce the model size to below 2 GB, making it feasible to run on an iPad. However, be cautious with compression as it can affect the model's accuracy.
  3. Integration with Apple Frameworks:

    • Use the Core ML framework to load and execute the model on the iPad. Core ML optimizes hardware-accelerated execution across the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine, ensuring efficient performance.
  4. Deployment:

    • Write the necessary code to integrate the model within your app. This includes handling the model's input and output, and ensuring it runs smoothly on the iPad.

For a detailed walkthrough, you can refer to the session Explore machine learning on Apple platforms (07:32) which covers the steps to get a model ready to run in your app.
