SHARK VS stable-diffusion-webui

https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui, https://github.com/nod-ai/SHARK, those are the repos for the open source tools mentioned. u/CeFurkan has really nice tutorial videos on YouTube for stable diffusion. Automatic1111 is the most popular open source stable diffusion ui and has the biggest open source plug-in ecosystem currently. Nvidia’s compute driver is separate from normal driver and called cuda. Amd’s compute driver is called rocm. Most windows programs like games use apis like directx, Vulkan,metal, web gpu and not cuda. Most ml code was originally intended to run in on scientific computing systems that were Linux. Today the traditional windows gpu apis are tying to get better at gpu ml supports. Amd has no official windows ml code support and is Hoping that other developers figure it out for them but amd made their ml driver open source but no support for consumer graphics cards. Nvidia is proprietary ml driver but guaranteed support across all cards including consumer

I got it working using SHARK with an AMD RX 480 on Windows 10.

Here the link for shark, faster (uses vulkan) than automatic1111 with directml but has less functions https://github.com/nod-ai/SHARK

I would recommend trying out Nod AI's Shark (That is the link for the most recent 786.exe release), and see how it works for you. From others I've read, it does 512x512 pics at around 3 it/s, which I know isn't mind blowing, but it's good enough to do a pic in about 30 seconds.

Problem solve, i had it to work i simply put this nod's ai shark exe in my stabble diffusion folder and launch it instead of Webui-user -> Release nod.ai SHARK 20230623.786 · nod-ai/SHARK (github.com)

How does it compare with Shark SD (I am not affiliated with it in any way)? (https://github.com/nod-ai/SHARK)

you should if you want to run SD on your card https://github.com/nod-ai/SHARK

Forgive me for not reading you whole comment. I suspect you're version of the SD eb UI doesn't recognize the AMD GPU., so you're using the CPU. AMD GPUs only work with a few web UIs. Try Nod.ai's Shark variant

* LLaVA model: I'll add more documentation. You are right Llava could not generate images. For image generation I don't have immediate plans, but checkout these projects for local image generation.

I would love to be able to have a native stable diffusion experience, my rx 580 takes 30s to generate a single image. But it does work after following https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki...

I got this up and running on my windows machine in short order and I don't even know what stable diffusion is.

But again, it would be nice to have first class support to locally participate in the fun.

In Auto1111, that just uses Image.blend. :)

I used SDXL in automatic1111 webui for both images. Now that I think about it, the procedure I described was how I made this one, but the one that looks like an illustration was done in two steps. I used the canny ControlNet as I said for the outer part of the logo to preserve the shape of the fonts, but I had to turn it off for the boot to give SDXL leeway to add detail and make it look more like a boot.

That said, please do learn coding and don't get discouraged when somebody says to learn PyTorch or recommends using a Jupiter notebook with no further information on how to translate the skill into images. I would highly recommend some short term goals. Get your feet wet by taking apart the UIs. The comfy API documentation is here and the A1111 API documentation is here. There is a difference in completeness, welcome to programming. Writing nodes or plugins is also a good way to jump into this world. Custom wildcard logic might be very attractive to you if you aren't the type that want to deal with a nested file structure to simulate logic.
