A1111-Web-UI-Installer VS InvokeAI

GitHub - EmpireMediaScience/A1111-Web-UI-Installer: Complete installer for Automatic1111's infamous Stable Diffusion WebUI

You can use this launcher it will do everything for you, you just need to choice where to install it and wether you want to download the base model or not

I've been out of the loop for a bit, and it seems that the web installer I ran the last time is not being updated anymore. Are there any other updated installers for Windows that will set up everything that people are using now?

Or this https://github.com/EmpireMediaScience/A1111-Web-UI-Installer seems like a simplified installer that might do the installation mostly for you. I have never tried it, so you are on your own with that. Be sure to read the whole page before attempting installation.

I'm always install by this link: https://github.com/EmpireMediaScience/A1111-Web-UI-Installer/releases

This is a good place to start reading. Given the open-source nature of SD, there are setups of various difficulty available. A1111 is the "standard" people enjoy because it's easy to plug in new stuff (ControlNet, new models, etc.), but it's not inherently easy to set up and get going. There is an installer for it, but I haven't tried it.

You're correct if you're focused exclusively on the work surrounding building foundation models to begin with. But if you take a broader view, having open models that we can legally fine tune and hack with locally has created a large and ever-growing community of builders and innovators that could not exist without these open models. Just take a look at projects like InvokeAI [0] in the image space or especially llama.cpp [1] in the text generation space. These projects are large, have lots of contributors, move very fast, and drive a lot of innovation and collaboration in applying AI to various domains in a way that simply wouldn't be possible without the open models.

Probably not, since I have no idea what you're talking about. I've just been using the models that InvokeAI (2.3, I only just now saw there's a 3.0) downloads for me [0]. The SD1.5 one is as good as ever, but the SD2 model introduces artifacts on (many, but not all) faces and copyrighted characters.

I actually used the rocm/pytorch image you also linked.

I'm not sure what you're pointing to with your reference to the Fedora-based images. I'm quite happy with my NixOS install and really don't want to switch to anything else. And as long as I have the correct kernel module, my host OS really shouldn't matter to run any of the images.

And I'm sure it can be made to work with many base images, my point was just that the dependency management around pytorch was in a bad state, where it is extremely easy to break.

> Anyways, hopefully this PR fixes the immediate issue: https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/pull/5714/files

It does! At least for me. It is my PR after all ;)

The data being flagged is not in that github repo, it's fetched from elsewhere and I don't fancy spending time looking for it. The alert is for 'Sirefef!cfg' which has been reported as a false positive with a bunch of other stable diffusion projects (https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/101zjec/trojanwin32sirefefcfg_an_apparently_common_false/, https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/xmhukb/trojan_in_waifudiffusion_model_file/, https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/issues/2773 )

I haven’t tried it recently, but InvokeAI runs on Mac. Invoke. I used to run on my MacBook, but have since gotten a Win laptop.

There are already a number of local, inference options that are (crucially) open-source, with more robust feature sets.

And if the defense here is "but Auto1111 and Comfy don't have as user-friendly a UI", that's also already covered. https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI

https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI should work on your machine. For LLM models, the smaller ones should run using llama.cpp, but I don't think you'll be happy comparing them to ChatGPT.

Stable Diffusion. /r/stablediffusion There are many tutorials on how to set it up locally and use it. InvokeAI is the easiest way to set it up. https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI
