Android app adds distributed image generation across phones
ManuXD32 · reddit · 2026-07-20
AI Doomsday Toolbox released v0.948, with the biggest update being distributed image generation on Android.
What changed
- The app already supported distributed LLM inference across multiple phones on the same network.
- It now adds distributed Stable Diffusion inference via stable-diffusion.cpp, using a master/worker setup configured inside the app.
- New backend controls were added for Stable Diffusion and llama.cpp, including backend parameters, max VRAM, sequential model loading, and early experimental GPU acceleration on supported devices.
- The native llama chat mode now supports background TTS, making it feel more like a local assistant.
Other improvements
- Better handling of stale and half-downloaded model files.
- Fixes for distributed inference, power locks, long-running calls, and build/release issues.
- Extra features such as video dubbing, subtitle generation/translation, live translation, a tool search bar, and pinning favorite tools/chats.
The project’s overall goal remains the same: turn Android phones—especially old unused ones—into useful local AI machines.
