One engine, one profile, one subject.

Every render here came from the same command: forge engine render minimalist-tshirt --profile madhubani with a subject sentence and a seed. The engine carries the style rules (folk fills, double-contour keylines, no scenery); the profile carries the model and the palette; the subject is the only thing that changes. Turn any card over and the exact subject is there to copy.

Every render writes its own paperwork.

Next to each PNG the engine leaves a directive sidecar: the full positive prompt, the negative list (over ninety phrases, from “photorealistic” to “artist signature glyph”), the 60/30/10 palette it was held to, the seed, the steps, the guidance, and an audit of which rules were applied. A run can be reproduced or argued with a year later. Four seeds render in one pass, 60.8% faster than one at a time.

Guarded runs, and a cut-out for free.

A guarded run checks the result against the prompt’s own claims before it is kept: a body that came out as a silhouette fails, a species mark that is missing fails, a signature the model invented fails. Each keeper also gets a transparent PNG, the subject lifted off the paper, ready for print work.

On your machine, under a licence you can read.

Forge runs on Apple Silicon with no cloud, no key and no upload. These ten were rendered with FLUX.1 [dev], whose licence is non-commercial, so they are shown and not sold. Forge’s default today is FLUX.2 klein 4B under Apache 2.0, and the same command reproduces the series on it. The model is a tool; the licence decides what the output is for.

What Forge is

Forge is an open-source, local-first generative-AI workstation for Apple Silicon. It is MIT licensed and written in Python 3.11+, and it runs entirely on the machine in front of you — no cloud round trip, no rented GPU, no API key, no subscription, and nothing uploaded anywhere. Every image on this page was produced on-device.

Why local-first matters

Running a model on your own hardware changes what you are allowed to do with it. Your prompts and your outputs never leave the machine, so there is no third party logging what you made or deciding after the fact that you should not have made it. It also means the thing keeps working when an API is deprecated, a price changes, or a service goes down. The trade is speed and convenience against ownership, and Forge takes the ownership side of that trade deliberately.

What these renders demonstrate

The gallery is not a highlight reel. It exists to show what the pipeline actually produces at a given point in the project, including the runs that did not clear the bar. The test suite has 284 tests, and a multi-seed mflux run came in 60.8% faster than the previous implementation. Those numbers are published whether or not they flatter the project — when a ship threshold was written down before a run and the result came in under it, the verdict goes next to the methodology rather than getting quietly dropped. A benchmark you can only pass is not a benchmark.
