ImageMaker is a local generative-media stack built to run entirely on an Apple M4 Mac — no cloud, no per-image cost, no usage caps. It stands up ComfyUI with SDXL 1.0 for stills and LTX-Video 2B for short clips, both accelerated through PyTorch's MPS backend.
The work here was the setup and the plumbing: getting a heavy ML stack (PyTorch 2.12 + MPS, ComfyUI and its manager, the model weights, ffmpeg) reliably running on Apple Silicon, with smoke-test scripts that verify both the image and video paths end to end before you trust them.
