What you need first

  • Apple silicon Mac with about 64 GB unified memory (the model needs about 33 GB)
  • uv for the Python engine

Steps

  1. Run git clone https://github.com/ph1lb4/imagegen-mac.git and cd imagegen-mac
  2. Build with ./scripts/build-app.sh
  3. Open with open build/ImageGen.app and let it download the model
  4. Generate from a text prompt

Prompt for your agent

Build ph1lb4/imagegen-mac, generate <prompt> with text in the image, and confirm the text is readable and no network calls were made after the model download.

Caveat. The model needs about 33 GB of memory, so a 64 GB Mac is the practical minimum.
