  • Fooocus

    Focus on prompting and generating

  • I would highly recommend Fooocus to anyone who hasn't tried: https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus

    There are a bajillion local SD pipelines, but this one is, by far, the one with the highest quality output out-of-the-box, with short prompts. Its remarkable.

    And thats because it integrates a bajillion SDXL augmentations that other UIs do not implement or enable under the hood. I've been using stable diffusion since 1.5 came out, and even having followed the space, setting up an equivalent pipeline in ComfyUI would be a pain.

  • InvokeAI

    InvokeAI is a leading creative engine for Stable Diffusion models, empowering professionals, artists, and enthusiasts to generate and create visual media using the latest AI-driven technologies. The solution offers an industry leading WebUI, supports terminal use through a CLI, and serves as the foundation for multiple commercial products.

  • There are already a number of local, inference options that are (crucially) open-source, with more robust feature sets.

    And if the defense here is "but Auto1111 and Comfy don't have as user-friendly a UI", that's also already covered. https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • diffusionbee-stable-diffusion-ui

    Diffusion Bee is the easiest way to run Stable Diffusion locally on your M1 Mac. Comes with a one-click installer. No dependencies or technical knowledge needed.

  • Interesting, will check it out to see how it compares with https://diffusionbee.com which I am using for last few months for fun.

  • krita-ai-diffusion

    Streamlined interface for generating images with AI in Krita. Inpaint and outpaint with optional text prompt, no tweaking required.

  • Also just Krita with the diffusion AI plugin: https://github.com/Acly/krita-ai-diffusion

  • ComfyUI

    The most powerful and modular stable diffusion GUI, api and backend with a graph/nodes interface.

  • I'm being kind of tongue in cheek because I understand that this is for just making things really easy and ComfyUI is a node based editor that most people would have trouble with. But the best UI for local SD generation that the community is using is https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
