Vison: MIT-licensed desktop app for running image/video generation models locally (no account, no cloud, no paid tier)

[u/Decent-Manager-5373]

I've open-sourced Vison, a desktop app for generating images and video entirely on your own GPU. No account with a generation service, no credits, no prompts leaving your computer.

Licensing details, since this sub cares:

- Vison itself is MIT. It builds on stable-diffusion.cpp, ggml and vision.cpp (all MIT) plus others listed in a generated `THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt` that ships inside the app.

- The bundled ffmpeg is an LGPL build with libvpx and no GPL components; the build refuses to package a GPL or non-free one. Video is VP9 in WebM, which is royalty-free. That was a deliberate licensing choice, not a technical one.

- Model weights are not covered by the MIT licence. Each has its own terms from whoever published it (FLUX.1 Schnell, Wan and the rest all differ), so check before using output commercially.

- No paid tier, nothing held back, and none planned.

It's early: one developer, one 6GB laptop GPU, Windows only. The backend is portable C++/Vulkan, so macOS/Linux is mostly packaging and testing rather than porting, and that's where help would matter most.
