i think he made the scripts and readme intentionally chaotic, so no one can reproduce it locally.

he wants you to use the api or the paid version.

very clever guy 🤣

This is not true.

I even show multiple ways to use Clarity-Upscaler for free in detail:

1. Free in A1111: https://x.com/philz1337x/status/1830504764389380466
2. Free in ComfyUI: https://x.com/philz1337x/status/1838960687462199360

The way of doing it for free with Cog is more complex and only recommended if you have advanced experience, but I also explain it here: https://github.com/philz1337x/clarity-upscaler?tab=readme-ov-file#cog

If you have any issues using it, please let me know, and I am happy to help you.

bro sorry i dont believe you. i am in that ai upscaling and ai generation game since years, i installed like hundrets of models, workflows, compfy ui, forge, a1111, i got really everything to run. there is only one which i was not able to get run corretly, and thats yours. i think you make it intentionally, to sell your api things. its really pathetic. you take models from others, bake a little bit something new in it, and then trick around not to share the information. i read all the "issue page" information, so much people asking you for information, but all you do is to say: look readme. you dont give information.

why would you not be able to give us just one clean information, how to get this running ? this cannot be so complicated. you always give missing information. some missing link. so people are not able to get it up and running correctly.

your readme is total chaotic, you always mention to use api key. all you do is try to sell your api keys.

nor your a1111 either your comfyUI workflow works correctly.

really sad.

but meanwhile i dont care anymore, i found other upscalers, which work the same way, if not better. so use it for yourself. no one needs it anymore.
