Stable Diffusion implementation with modern UI and advanced features
This project started as a form from Automatic1111 WebUI and it grew siginificantly since then, but although it diverged significanly, any substantial features to original work is ported to this repository as well
Individual features are not listed here, instead check Changelog for full list of changes
Platform support
- nVidia GPUs using CUDA libraries on both Windows and Linux
- AMD GPUs using ROCm libraries on Linux
Support will be extended to Windows once AMD releases ROCm for Windows - Any GPU compatibile with DirectX on Windows using DirectML libraries
This includes support for AMD GPUs that are not supported by native ROCm libraries - Intel Arc GPUs using Intel OneAPI Ipex/XPU libraries
- Apple M1/M2 on OSX using built-in support in Torch with MPS optimizations
Install
- Install first:
Python & Git - Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/vladmandic/automatic - Run launcher
webui.batorwebui.sh:- Platform specific wrapper scripts For Windows, Linux and OSX
- Starts
launch.pyin a Python virtual environment (venv) - Uses
install.pyto handle all actual requirements and dependencies - Note: Server can run without virtual environment, but it is recommended to use it to avoid library version conflicts with other applications
Note: nVidia/CUDA and AMD/ROCm are auto-detected is present and available, but for any other use case specify required parameter explicitly or wrong packages may be installed as installer will assume CPU-only environment
Full startup sequence is logged in webui.log, so if you encounter any issues, please check it first
Below is partial list of all available parameters, run webui --help for the full list:
Setup options:
--use-ipex Use Intel OneAPI XPU backend, default: False
--use-directml Use DirectML if no compatible GPU is detected, default: False
--use-cuda Force use nVidia CUDA backend, default: False
--use-rocm Force use AMD ROCm backend, default: False
--skip-update Skip update of extensions and submodules, default: False
--skip-requirements Skips checking and installing requirements, default: False
--skip-extensions Skips running individual extension installers, default: False
--skip-git Skips running all GIT operations, default: False
--skip-torch Skips running Torch checks, default: False
--reinstall Force reinstallation of all requirements, default: False
--debug Run installer with debug logging, default: False
--reset Reset main repository to latest version, default: False
--upgrade Upgrade main repository to latest version, default: False
--safe Run in safe mode with no user extensions
Notes
Collab
- To avoid having this repo rely just on me, I'd love to have additional maintainers with full admin rights. If you're interested, ping me!
- In addition to general cross-platform code, desire is to have a lead for each of the main platforms This should be fully cross-platform, but I would really love to have additional contibutors and/or maintainers to join and help lead the effords on different platforms
Goals
The idea behind the fork is to enable latest technologies and advances in text-to-image generation
Sometimes this is not the same as "as simple as possible to use"
If you are looking an amazing simple-to-use Stable Diffusion tool, I'd suggest InvokeAI specifically due to its automated installer and ease of use
General goals:
- Cross-platform
- Create uniform experience while automatically managing any platform specific differences
- Performance
- Enable best possible performance on all platforms
- Ease-of-Use
- Automatically handle all requirements, dependencies, flags regardless of platform
- Integrate all best options for uniform out-of-the-box experience without the need to tweak anything manually
- Look-and-Feel
- Create modern, intuitive and clean UI
- Up-to-Date
- Keep code up to date with latest advanced in text-to-image generation
