Yes, it's a waste of time. It works, kinda, sorta, but only after shutting down every other app, and even then occasionally it seems to fall over. The model is larger than 8GB in memory, so it's agonizing.

What about 16MB RAM?

16MB? No. 16GB? Sure.

As a slightly shameless plug, I've been hacking up a UI specifically for that fork with a focus on a more efficient workflow for image synthesis. A demonstration video can be found here: https://vimeo.com/748114237 If people have any sort of feedback I'd love to hear it, or if people have some specific features that are missing from the other UIs :)

Bravo. This looks really promising and is exactly the sort of thing one needs to get models like these to generate what you imagine.

Thank you so much! Really happy to hear.

Hopefully I can do a Show HN in the future, when/if there is a free version for people to play around with, and get some really good feedback that way.

Does it work with pornographic or potentially pornographic prompts?

And the real questions come out. Seriously though, I imagine this is less a case of whether this specific implementation permits pornography, but whether any porn was included in the dataset it was trained on. No matter how good AI is, it only knows what it knows.

It has to be. There was a sub (now closed) called r/UnstableDiffusion, where people shared their porn output from SD.

The filter should be easy to remove and there are already people who simply removed the filter.

Any benchmarks on this? How long does it take to generate a batch of images, say with steps=100?

On my M1 MAx with 32 GB I'm getting 1.5 iterations/second (ie, ~30 seconds for the standard 50 iterations) using this example: https://github.com/nlothian/m1_huggingface_diffusers_demo

That's pretty good then - on my 3080, I'm getting ~8it/s.

Its only a question because devs went out of their way to limit it, to everyones surprise Its like if Photoshop broke itself when you tried to modify or create anything nude or provocative, as the default That would just be weird and thats what these AI software devs have done so everyone patches that contrived feature flag, but nobody knows if they patched it

Fun fact: Photoshop does exactly that if you open images of currency. See: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/cds.html

As if anyone who really will print money can't open in GIMP.

I don't understand why all these crazy forks don't switch to using the HuggingFace codebase[1]. It's much better code and easier to add features to. It's true you have to use the code from git rather than a release, but that's not hard. https://github.com/nlothian/m1_huggingface_diffusers_demo is my clean demo repo with a notebook showing the usage. The standard HuggingFace examples (eg for img2img[2]) port across wi…

Inertia, mostly. The official press release on August 10th linked to https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion and diffusers didn't add support for Stable Diffusion until 5782e0393d on August 14th. There has been a ton of work on adding features on top of the CompVis Github release and backporting that work to Diffusers just isn't as interesting as adding new features to the existing fork. There has been some adoption of Diffusers though.

This really is a one-click installer, which is excellent. As far as I know it's the first and only one for M1. It's quite a polished UI, but there are a lot of features missing. The first ones that come to mind are: - No way to specify a seed. This is an important part of SD workflows, letting you redo an image with a slightly tweaked a prompt. - No way to specify a custom model. Alternative models (such as Waifu Dif…

PRs welcome!

Yes: https://nmkd.itch.io/t2i-gui No idea if it supports AMD GPUs though.

Do you have any info on perf compared to this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32805174

Just done a run on my 3080 under Windows using https://github.com/bfirsh/stable-diffusion.git and it's about 8 iterations/sec when nothing else is using CPU or GPU.
