Ganbreeder is a collaborative web application for discovering and 'breeding' images using BigGAN models, where users mix images and share them via URLs. It consists of a Python GAN inference server, a Node.js frontend, and a PostgreSQL database, and is the predecessor to Artbreeder.

Use cases

• generate and evolve images with biggan
• collaborative generative art breeding
• explore latent space of gan models
• self-host an image breeding web app
• mix two images to create children
• crowdsource image discovery through sharing

When to choose

• you want to self-host a collaborative GAN image breeding tool
• you want to study how breeding and sharing can explore high-dimensional latent spaces
• you want to run the original code behind Artbreeder

When to avoid

• you need a polished, documented, production-ready codebase
• you want modern GAN or diffusion models rather than BigGAN-128
• you need a maintained project with active development
