All the real homies use ComfyUI

Elaborate?

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

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 by default. I've been using stable diffusion since 1.5 came out, and even having followed the space extensively, setting up an equivalent pipeline in ComfyUI (much less diffusers) would be a pain. Its like a "greatest hits and best defaults" for SDXL.

Just installed, this is very cool. Local AI is the future I want (and what I'm working on too). A few notes using it... Pros: - seems pretty self contained - built in model installer works really well and helps you download anything from CivitAI (I installed https://civitai.com/models/183354/sdxl-ms-paint-portraits ) - image generation is high quality and stable - shows intermediate steps during generation Cons: - do…

You should check out Draw Things on macOS. It works well enough for SDXL on 8GiB macOS devices.

Yeah, Fooocus is much better if you are going for the best local generated result. Lvmin puts all his energy into making beautiful pictures. Also it is GPL licensed, which is a + in my book.

Looks like a complete contraption to setup and looks very unpleasant to use at first glance when compared against Noiselith.

The hundreds of python scripts and having the user to touch the terminal shows why something like Noiselith should exist for normal users rather than developers or programmers.

I would rather take a packaged solution that just works over a bunch of scripts requiring a terminal.

Another con is it only works on Silicon Macs.

You have to make trade-off in software development. Fooocus trades on the best picture rather than the most beautiful interface, and also simplicity in its use. I think it is a good trade-off given the technology is improving at breaking-neck speed.

Look, DiffusionBee is still maintained but still no SDXL support.

Anyone who bet that the technology is done and it is time to focus on the UI is making the wrong bet.
