What you give up by switching
AI Horde runs on volunteers' graphics cards, so you wait in a queue and get the models they choose to host, with none of Firefly's polish or its link into Photoshop and Illustrator. Adobe says its own Firefly models use licensed training data, while the open models mostly do not make that claim.
How to move
Open the Generate page with no account to try it, make a free account for better priority, and move to Fooocus or ComfyUI on your own graphics card when you want speed.
