As an AI outsider with a recent 24GB macbook, can I follow the quick start[1] steps from the repo and expect decent results? How much time would it take to generate a single medium quality image?

Try koboldcpp with the kcppt config file. The easiest way by far.

Download the release here

* https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp/releases/tag/v1.103

Download the config file here

* https://huggingface.co/koboldcpp/kcppt/resolve/main/z-image-...

Set +x to the koboldcpp executable and launch it, select 'Load config' and point at the config file, then hit 'launch'.

Wait until the model weights are downloaded and launched, then open a browser and go to:

* http://localhost:5001/sdui

EDIT: This will work for Linux, Windows and Mac
