> it won't ever be a viable option

For production workloads, I generally agree. It's an unsupported hack with a questionable future, I wouldn't do anything money-making with it.

However, for tinkering and consumer workloads, it already works pretty well. Enough of cuDNN and cuBLAS work to run PyTorch and in turn, Stable Diffusion with https://github.com/lshqqytiger/ZLUDA - there's even a fairly user-friendly setup process already in https://github.com/vladmandic/automatic .

I was able to get a personal non-ML related project working on my AMD card in just a few minutes, which saved me a lot of development time before I then deployed the production workload on NV hardware (this is probably why AMD pulled the plug on the project - it's almost more of a boost to NV than anything else, AMD really need people to be writing code on ROCm to deploy on AMD datacenter hardware).

While I currently use SD.Next[1], I have tested ComfyUI locally with my AMD card. The UI can be daunting, but you learn quite a great deal about how a Stable Diffusion pipeline works. In addition some innovations and advances find their way into ComfyUI first.

I used SD.NEXT ( https://github.com/vladmandic/automatic ) and https://civitai.com/models/82098/add-more-details-detail-enhancer-tweaker-lora and epicphotogasm_lastUnicorn

I found this thread on GitHub talking about how this was fixed in the latest version with an optional setting. I tried enabling it, as they mentioned, but it just resulted in an immediate CUDA out of memory error when starting generation. So it seems I'm actually needing the shared memory, which I assume is my issue.

As always, do check out our more detailed changelog, give us a quick install from our Repo, and stop by our Discord Server for any questions or help you may need.

SD.Next

Today I finally wanted to give SDXL a chance, so I set everythin up according to Vladmandic's Wiki https://github.com/vladmandic/automatic/wiki/SD-XL

I'm trying to get SDXL working on Vlad's SDNext, but I keep getting the error in the title when trying to run basic operations. I'm not sure what's going on, I followed his guide for it to a T.

We used an inference container based on SDNext, along with a custom worker written in Typescript that implemented the job processing pipeline. The worker used HTTP to communicate with both the SDNext container and with our batch framework.

A crucial step for achieving stable diffusion controlnet settings is the installation of the controlnet extension in Google Colab. Whether on a Windows PC or Mac, installing controlnet is vital for stable diffusion of human pose details. Additionally, updating the controlnet extension is necessary to maintain stability and achieve the desired results in OpenPose model. To install the v1.1 controlnet extension, go to the “extensions” tab and install it from this URL: https://github.com/Mikubill/sd-webui-controlnet. If you already have v1 controlnets installed, delete the folder from stable-diffusion-webui/extensions/. Install the v1.

1.1.420 Image-wise ControlNet and StyleAlign

I opened a request thread on ControlNet GitHub you can give a support : https://github.com/Mikubill/sd-webui-controlnet/issues/2319

It has been possible for 7 months now

I sometimes use a very similar technique in Cinema4d (here is a link to a c4d file with preset materials referencing proper colors for Semantic Segmentation if any other c4d user wants to try it), but yours is a much more accessible solution as it's free and it's accessible online.

There are models available that give you more control - in some senses, at least.

For example, you can use Stable Diffusion with 'ControlNet' [1] where for example, you can input an 'openpose' to choose the pose of people in the scene.

There's also a 'Regional Prompter' [2] which lets you use different prompts for different areas of the image, giving you some control over the composition.

You can also use 'inpainting' to regenerate select parts of your image if, for example, you don't like the shape of the clouds.

Of course this stuff isn't perfect - for example, you'll get hands with the wrong number of fingers sometimes, no matter what you specify :)
