Does anybody know of the best practice for creating large images (ex 3840x2160) on a single GPU (ex a 2080/3080)? I played with stitching some years ago when all of this stuff was still in its infancy, but wasn't super thrilled with the results as I ended up with seams, now I'm wondering if a common practice has emerged as the techniques have evolved.

Create an image normally and do 2x/4x image super-resolution.
Hey, if you're already working with AI-generated art, using another AI isn't unreasonable.

What you could try doing is use a notebook that lets you start with an initial image [1], chunk that image, and generate a an image for each chunk. It wouldn't be unified, but it could come out interesting.
To make bigger images, I'm currently making composites out of multiple smaller prompts, like gradients or chessboards.

Hot dang I forgot to actually add in the link and now it's too late to edit so here it is

Technically you just need a GPU with 16GB VRAM to create larger images, which is every GPU Colab can give except the K80 (which has 12GB VRAM, but still can do 600x600)
Your Notebook code appears to do to a VRAM check via nvidia-smi, not an instance size check.
