diffusers VS stable-diffusion

ShivamShrirao's Diffusers Pretrained diffusion models across multiple modalities.

Like the title say I'm trying to fine-tune a model to match a style of a popular manhwa. I'm using the ShivamShrirao Google Colab to accomplish this.

I am running the DreamBooth_Stable_Diffusion.ipynb notebook from ShivamShrirao locally on my machine. Let's say I have trained for 500 iterations and it hasn't converged yet. How do I make it resume training from that iteration so it can do another 500?

My understanding, based on messages from an (alleged) representative of colabs, is that the webui is the problem, not SD itself. This also seems to be the consensus in the comments section of other posts. I have not yet seen a link to colab based webui alternatives so here is something I found from a tutorial. I am certain that there are better alternatives. Anyone have a better idea? This will still probably be useful to other people like me who are just messing around.

I'm running ShivamShrirao's fork of diffusers; ran into a fp16 issue and had to patch in a fix from the main branch ( #1567 ).

I am running Shivam Stable Diffusion Jupyter notebook: diffusers/DreamBooth_Stable_Diffusion.ipynb at main · ShivamShrirao/diffusers · GitHub.

Are you using this one? https://github.com/S

Which is a 1-click install of Stable Diffusion with an alternative web interface. You can choose a different approach but this one is pretty simple and I am new to this stuff.

It sounds like you just want to set up Stable Diffusion to run locally. I don't think your computer's specs will be able to do it. You need a graphics card with a decent amount of VRAM. Stable diffusion is in Python as is almost every AI open source project I've seen. If you can get your hands on a system with an Nvidia RTX card with as much VRAM as possible, you're in business. I have an RTX 3060 with 12 gigs of VRAM and I can run stable diffusion and a whole variety of open source LLMs as well as other projects like face swap, Roop, tortoise TTS, sadtalker, etc...

I dealt with this in one of my posts. At least SD 1.1 till 1.5 are all trained on a batch size of 2048. The version pretty much everyone uses (1.5) is first pretrained at a resolution of 256x256 for 237K steps on laion2B-en, at the end of those training steps it will have seen roughly 500M images in laion2B-en. After that it is pre-trained for 194K steps on laion-high-resolution at a resolution of 512x512, which is a subset of 170M images from laion5B. Finally it is trained for 1.110K steps on LAION aesthetic v2 5+. This is easily verified by taking a glance at the model card of SD 1.5. Though that one doesn't specify for part of the training exactly which aesthetic set was used for part of the training, for that you have to look at the CompVis github repo. Thus at the end of it all both the most recent images and the majority of images will have come from LAION aesthetic v2 5+ (seeing every image approx 4 times). Realistically a lot of the weights obtained from pretraining on 2B will have been lost, and only provided a good starting point for the weights.
