n8n just announced Data Tables available from version 1.113.0 - thats huge news - so you could store data directly within n8n without external 3rd Party Tools. Here a short preview - i hope to get it soon :)

I have been pondering about this for a while now and finally decided to write about it. Things are changing and soon AI will be able to create better automation in real time. Have a read and tell me if you agree with me. https://codebin.co.za/automation-skills-losing-value/

I just tried the "experimental" Storybook Gem in Google Gemini and i am blown away. a small prompt and you get a ready to share 10 page storybook - you can also create a sharable link and you can listen to the story as well... here a quick trial: https://g.co/gemini/share/9435f6aac1c8 Just didnt figured out how to download and edit it 😅 What do you think?

1000 images Instead of using the CPU per image, you use a GPU provider at an hourly rate. example: Replicate (stability-ai/sdxl): ~$3.60 for 1,000 images (≈$0.0036 per image). RunPod A6000: ~$0.54 for 1,000 images using (stability-ai/sdxl): (assumes ~4 sec/image; A6000 at $0.49/hr → 4,000 sec ≈ 1.11 hr). Here’s the DALL·E 3 cost for 1,000 images via the OpenAI API: +----------+-----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+ Size | Price per image (USD) | Cost for 1000 images (USD) | +----------+-----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+ | Standard | 1024x1024 0.04 $ 40 | Standard | 1024x1792 0.08 $ 80 | Standard | 1792x1024 0.08 $ 80 | HD | 1024x1024 0.08 $ 80 | HD | 1024x1792 0.12 $ 120 | HD | 1792x1024 0.12 $120 +----------+-----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+ Same image generator, different processing. Ask chatGPT to do a price comparison for any image generator In the n8n flow, create a "start RunPod" and a "stop RunPod" as you are being billed for "time".

Has anyone in the community used replicate to generate images? Is it any good? Is it affordable?
