qrGPT is an AI-powered QR code generator that creates visually appealing QR codes. It is designed for users who want to generate custom, branded QR codes beyond the standard black and white design.
How It Works
The project leverages a diffusion model for AI image generation, likely a fine-tuned Stable Diffusion variant, to render QR codes with artistic styles. It integrates with Replicate for model hosting and inference, Vercel Blob for image storage, and Vercel KV for rate limiting and caching.
