stable-diffusion VS latent-diffusion

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.

an invisible watermarking of the outputs, to help viewers identify the images as machine-generated.

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.

Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) is the latest text-to-image generation model developed by Stability AI, based on the latent diffusion techniques. SDXL has the potential to create highly realistic images for media, entertainment, education, and industry domains, opening new ways in practical uses of AI imagery.

Here's a link to the early latent-diffusion git, that might be able to create a blank model (I haven't tested it): https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion

Latent diffusion could work for you: https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion (https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.10752)

There are a lot but the one implemented as LDSR in most stable guis is this one. https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion

The "retrieval based model" refers to https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion#retrieval-augmen..., which uses ScaNN to train a knn embedding searcher.

Stability is basically https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion + training data.

DDIM and PLMS were the original samplers. They were part of Latent Diffusion's repository. They stand for the papers that introduced them, Denoising Diffusion Implicit Models and Pseudo Numerical Methods for Diffusion Models on Manifolds.
