stable-diffusion VS Real-ESRGAN

SD on an Intel mac with Vega graphics runs pretty well though — I think it ran at something like ~3-5 iterations/s for me, which is decent. I ran either https://github.com/magnusviri/stable-diffusion or https://github.com/lstein/stable-diffusion which have MPS support

Copying this change fixed seeds on M1 for me.

You should be able to run it on a CPU. Maybe try this version. If MPS is supported on your Mac you can check this out.

A group of open source hackers forked Stable Diffusion on GitHub and optimized the model to run on Apple's M1 chip, enabling images to be generated in ~ 15 seconds (512x512 pixels, 50 diffusion steps).

Magnusviro [0], the original author of the SD M1 repo credited in this article, has merged his fork into the Lstein Stable Diffusion repo [1], and you can now run Lstein fork with M1 as of a few hours ago.

This adds a ton of functionality - GUI, Upscaling & Facial improvements, weighted subprompts etc.

This has been a big undertaking over the last few days, and I highly recommend checking it out.

You can run it on an M1. Using a macbook M1 pro max with 32Gb I get 512x512 in about 50 seconds. use this branch https://github.com/magnusviri/stable-diffusion/tree/apple-mps-support

I had this error too, and I tried a ton of things to get cudatoolkit to install, without any luck. This fork has an environment-mac.yml file that actually got it working on my M1 Max: https://github.com/magnusviri/stable-diffusion/tree/apple-silicon-mps-support

But when I run it (locally, using the Mac M1 port), every time I run it creates a different image.

It's not exactly what you're after, as it's anime specific and you need to process the video yourself (eg disassemble to frames, run the upscaler, then assemble back to a movie file), but Real-ESRGAN is really good:

It's pretty brilliant for cleaning up very old, low resolution anime.

Just a note you can run upscaling on your home desktop with Real-ESRGAN:

Maybe Real-ESRGAN is a good fit? Even tho it's a couple of years old

I'm glad you noticed! I upscaled the icon from the wiki using Real-ESRGAN's 4xplus anime model, then photoshopped out the text. Worked far better than waifu2x.

A: Try using High-res Fix and R-ESRGAN 4x+ Anime6B as upscaler

Maybe try this one https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN it may work even better.

Screenshotted from the official music video, upscaled to 4k using a state of the art ML model.

Do you happen to remember which chapter has that "scene"? You could also try to enhance it yourself, I did it using Real-ESRGAN, which is really easy to use.
