🚀 Options to use Clarity-Upscaler

Note that this repository is an implementation for cog. If you are not familiar with cog, I recommend the easier solutions. The free options are ComfyUI and A1111, while the paid but easy-to-use options are my app ClarityAI.co and the ComfyUI API Node.

🧑‍💻 App

The simplest option to use Clarity is with the app at ClarityAI.co

🐰 ComfyUI

1. API node

1. Open ComfyUI Manager, search for Clarity AI, and install the node.
2. Create an API key at: ClarityAI.co/ComfyUI
3. Add the API key to the node as a) envirement variable CAI_API_KEY OR b) to a cai_platform_key.txt text file OR c) in api_key_override field of the node.

Full instructions: https://github.com/philz1337x/ComfyUI-ClarityAI

2. Free workflow

1. Download the repo https://github.com/philz1337x/ComfyUI-ClarityAI and use the file free-wokflow.json

⚙️ API

Use the API at: ClarityAI.co/API

Cog

If you are not familiar with cog read: cog docs

• run download_weights.py

• predict with cog:

cog predict -i image="link-to-image"

A1111 webUI
