Kawai
Local AI image and video generator. Simple UI. NSFW-capable. Auto GPU detection (Nvidia / AMD / Intel / CPU).
Quick start
python launcher.py
Run with any Python you have installed. The launcher bootstraps uv and uses it to fetch a clean Python 3.11 runtime + venv, then installs the right PyTorch build for your GPU. Nothing about your system Python is touched.
First run takes a few minutes (uv install + Python 3.11 download + torch + dependencies). Subsequent runs start instantly.
What the launcher does
- Installs
uvto.tools/if not present. - Creates
venv/with Python 3.11 (uv downloads the interpreter on demand). - Detects GPU (Nvidia / AMD / Intel / CPU) and installs matching PyTorch wheel.
- Installs latest
diffusers,transformers, etc. - Opens browser UI at
http://127.0.0.1:7860.
Reset
Delete venv/ and .tools/ to force a clean reinstall.
