Dreambooth-Stable-Diffusion VS stable-diffusion-ui

Tons of stuff here, no? https://github.com/JoePenna/Dreambooth-Stable-Diffusion/

Joe Penna's Dreambooth (Tutorial|24GB) Most popular DB repo with great results.

1) The https://github.com/JoePenna/Dreambooth-Stable-Diffusion instructions say to use the 1.5 checkpoints - is that the latest? Can I use the 2+ models or?

I quickly turned to the second library, https://github.com/JoePenna/Dreambooth-Stable-Diffusion, because its readme was very encouraging, and its results were the best. Unfortunately, to use it on Colab, you need to sign up for Colab Pro to use advanced GPUs (at least 24GB of VRAM), and training a model requires at least 14 compute units. As a poor Chinese person, I could only buy Colab Pro from a proxy. The results from JoePenna/Dreambooth-Stable-Diffusion were fantastic, and the preparation was straightforward, requiring only <=20 512*512 photos without writing captions. I used it to create many beautiful photos.

I've found EveryDream to be brilliant and have switched from JoePenna's Dreambooth because I've found I get better results so long as I provide good captions for all the images, even if preparing the dataset takes 3x as long (took me 2 hours to crop and label the 54 images).

From what I know you can train with whatever size you want. But you need software that will support it. For example, ShivamShrirao/diffusers repo seems to allow a change of dimension. Also, you need HW that would support the training, because bigger images need more VRAM, for example,Joe Penna repo is using ~23GB with 512x512px so probably it's not a valid option. But the ShivamShrirao repo has optimizations that allow to run it with less VRAM.

CMDR2's 1-Click Installer

Hey so i'm currently using easydiffusion but its missing one feature i've been really wanting to play around with recently. Video, and i've heard from some others that its one of the easiest to install but least peformant and worse options you can get; so what do you guys suggest?

Or just use the CPU and it works, just takes a few minutes. stable diffusion cpu But don't let me stop you, I need one too.

No. CUDA is very straightforward. There is even a nice project that sets up Stable Diffusion for you. With basically no knowledge about AI i was able to get it to run. If i recall correctly i just needed to install one dependency manually, and i was provided with nice web gui for playing with it.

You could read the guide first: https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui/wiki/UI-Overview or Start easy diffusion

Thanks and your right there are loads, trying out this from GitHub

Simplest start https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui

First is Easy Diffusion, you need to be online just once to run the installer. It downloads several extra files. Let it finish and then make some test pictures. Exit everything (browser window and text window). Then anytime you want to run it, just turn off internet and run the batch file to start it up. No internet!

Yesterday I got Easy Diffusion to work (on Windows only), but it refuses to use the GPU and instead uses the CPU, which of course, takes nearly an hour to make a 512x512 image.
