Back in the day when they first had their sub model it was soooo much cheaper than it is now :(. Here's hoping some guy that writes super-resolution ML models on the side is a big fan of Gimp.

On a semi-serious note: would GIMP accept a merge request that depends on something like LibTorch[1] or the huge binary blobs like the ones produced by TFLite? I say this as a enthusiastic hobbyist in the ML space who is always looking for productive ways to procrastinate my grad research...

I randomly just found this but I don't know if it's available or where it's hosted:

GIMP allows plugins for features that don't belong in the main application. I've found a lot of researchers had written GIMP plugins for their work, I am under the impression that that's how many of them are testing.

There are non-Adobe alternatives with ML super-resolution features that are much cheaper. For example, Pixelmator Photo can do it for $8 (iPad, no subscription). They have a Mac version as well but I don't use macOS so I can't judge that.
