AI Art Generator (Full-Stack Next.js

AI Art Generator (Full-Stack Next.js Application)

Built and deployed a production-ready web application that generates images from text prompts using distributed GPU networks and multiple AI models.

Engineering Challenges Solved:

Distributed AI Networks: Integrated the AI Horde API to offload generation to a global volunteer GPU network, eliminating cloud GPU hosting costs while maintaining high availability.

Multi-Provider Architecture: Designed a modular provider system supporting Stable Diffusion 1.5, SDXL, and Flux models, allowing users to switch between models seamlessly.

Async Job Handling: Implemented robust asynchronous polling to handle queued jobs, status updates, and graceful degradation during peak network load.

Production Deployment: Built with Next.js 14 (App Router) and TypeScript, deployed on Vercel with CI/CD pipelines.

Tech Stack: Next.js 14, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, AI Horde API, Replicate API.
