stable-diffusion VS stable-diffusion-ui

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.

CMDR2's 1-Click Installer

Hey so i'm currently using easydiffusion but its missing one feature i've been really wanting to play around with recently. Video, and i've heard from some others that its one of the easiest to install but least peformant and worse options you can get; so what do you guys suggest?

Or just use the CPU and it works, just takes a few minutes. stable diffusion cpu But don't let me stop you, I need one too.

No. CUDA is very straightforward. There is even a nice project that sets up Stable Diffusion for you. With basically no knowledge about AI i was able to get it to run. If i recall correctly i just needed to install one dependency manually, and i was provided with nice web gui for playing with it.

You could read the guide first: https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui/wiki/UI-Overview or Start easy diffusion

Thanks and your right there are loads, trying out this from GitHub

First is Easy Diffusion, you need to be online just once to run the installer. It downloads several extra files. Let it finish and then make some test pictures. Exit everything (browser window and text window). Then anytime you want to run it, just turn off internet and run the batch file to start it up. No internet!

Yesterday I got Easy Diffusion to work (on Windows only), but it refuses to use the GPU and instead uses the CPU, which of course, takes nearly an hour to make a 512x512 image.
