Yes. Openwebui/ollama for LLM, comfyui for stable diffusion. I just dick around with it as a toy.

Same. Its somewhat useful on some very small scripting or tasks...but its mostly just to try out a new model or two. Its not really useful for anything big.

I will have to say....even my tiny models are about as good as Chatgpt/Claude/etc... which makes me think about how much people are spending on tokens regularly. I was able to get the same kind of python script started with my local tiny model that was comparable to the newest Claude code offerings.

I was put off by ComfyUI, seems awfully complex. How is your experience?

Any suggestions to start? I have Fooocus installed now

It is difficult to understand in the beginning but has great support for premade workflows. It even saves the workflow into its output images so you can drag and drop them into the webui to duplicate the setup that generated the image. Use the internet to get premade workflows and mess around with them to see what the options do and you'll slowly learn how it works. If you don't care about precise control over the generations or understanding how image generators works then just use something else more all-in-one.
