installation/setup is dead simple. up and running in under 3 minutes: git clone https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus.git cd Fooocus pip3 install -r requirements_versions.txt python3 entry_with_update.py

Or you can use Stability Matrix package manager.

Yeah, VoltaML is also another excellent choice in stabilty matrix.

Are you the developer by any chance? If so, it would be helpful to state it.

I am. I thought this is obvious. My statement is objective. I would go as far as: it is the only app works at 8GiB macOS devices with SDXL-family models.

What do you mean it was obvious? Only the developer could make that objective statement?

I switched to InvokeAI and won't go back to basic a1111 webui. I like how everything is laid out, there are workflow features, you can easily recall all properties (prompt, model, lora, etc.) used to generate an image, things can be organized into boards, and all off the boards/images/metadata are stored in a very well-designed sqlite database that can be tapped into via DataGrip.

automatic1111: great for the fast implementation of the most recent generative features comfyui: excellent for workflows and recalling the workflows, as they're saved into the resulting image metadata (i.e. sharing images, shares the image generation pipeline) InvokeAI: Great UX and community, arguably were a bit behind in features as they were focused on making the UI work well. Now at the stage of bringing in the b…

Doesn't a1111 already do this? Theres a PNG Info tab where you can drag and drop a PNG and it will pull all the prompt, inverse prompt, model, etc. And then a button to send it to the main generation tab. It doesn't automatically load the model, but that may be intentional because of how long it takes to change loaded models.

Whoa, well let me just say thanks for the awesome app!! it's pretty entertaining to spin this up in situations where I don't have internet (Airplane, subway etc.)

I was also surprised on how well it ran on my iPhone 11 before I replaced it with a 15 pro.

(Let me know if you're looking for some Product Design help/advice, totally happy to contribute pro bono. No worries if not of course!)

"You should check out this thing" has a very different implied context than "You should check out this thing I made". The first sounds like a recommendation from an enthusiastic user, not from the the author. Because of this, discovering that you are the author makes your recommendation feel deceptive.

I am sorry if you feel that way. I joined HN when it was a small tight-knit community without much of marketing presence. The "obvious" comment is more like "people know other people" kind of thing. I didn't try to deceive anyone to use the app (and why should I?).

If you feel this is unannounced self-promotion, yes, it is, and can be done better.

Also, for the "objective" comment, it meant to say "the original comment is still objective", not that you can be objective only by being a developer. Being a developer can obviously bias your opinion.

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

Yeah invokeAI is fantastic!

Have to build it yourself on Mac, and we all know how "fun" building Python projects is

Just spent about 10 minutes building it on MacBook Pro M1. I come with significant bias against Python projects, but getting Fooocus to run was very, very easy.

That's good to know!
