I was mostly using stable diffusion to generate images. But I also tried Mixtral
SDXL is our cheapest image model. I think also it's imporant to know that people don't really use AI to that degree every single day. Most of the time you will create a spurt of 5-6 images and then leave it for a week or so until you return. Still works out to far less than a subscription.
