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…

Can you actually use those workflows in some sort of API from a script to automate it from lets say a python script. Played arround with comfy. Really nice, but i would like to automate it within my own environment.

Yes, you can, and the workflow JSON format has a reduced "API form" that discards visual/UI related information.

Also, if you are using Python, you could do your automation in Comfy (as custom nodes) instead of outside, too.

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.

I finally had a chance to set it up and yes, it works great!

I'd also recommend InvokeAI, an open source offering which has a very nice editable canvas and is very performant with diffusers. https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI

I just installed InvokeAI and wish I hadn't. It installs -so much- outside of its target directory. A1111 and ComfyUI are fairly self contained where you put them.

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 c…

Looks like the Web UI of the self-hosted install of Fooocus sells out the user to Google Tag Manager. Can our entire field please realize that running this surveillance is a bad move, and just stop doing it.

I think that's coming from gradio?

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 c…

I think it was obvious. That said, thank you so much for your labor of love! The app is amazing! Any plans for SDXL Turbo support?

Should be in a few days. I asked Stability to clarify whether I can deliver weights through my Cloudflare bucket and whether qualifying as non-commercial is who runs the model, not who delivers the model.

Probably, auto1111 does the same - but I agree with GP it shouldn’t be there.

If it isn’t explicitly surveillance, it could effectively be.

Sales prompt: "Young woman with blonde curls in front of a fantasy world background, come hither eyes, sitting with her legs spread, wearing a white shirt and jeans hot pants." I mean, really??

I'm genuinely curious how many people in the open source community are pouring their sweat and blood into these projects that are, at the end of the day, enabling guys to transform their macbooks into insta-porn-books.

How many technological revolutions do we need to go through before we just accept an admit by default it’s typically about boobs?

So it's free, but not open source. What is the catch?

They will have a non-free (as in beer) version once they exit beta (per the website).

With no real way to confirm it doesn’t phone home.

IDK, this all seems weird considering there are four other really good projects that do all of these things already.
