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.

It's all isolated in a single directory, though, right? I set it up ages ago, but my recollection is that it installs itself in ~/invoke on Linux and stays contained there.

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…

If you are interested in the tech-stack:

So yes, it is an electron app with svelte, headless-ui, tailwindcss etc

DiffusionBee: AGPL-3.0 license (Native app) InvokeAI: Apache license 2.0 (web-browser UI) automatic1111: AGPL-3.0 license (web-browser UI) ComfyUI:GPL-3.0 license (web-browser UI) There's more, but I don't pay enough attention to it

for people with Intel video cards (all 10 of us!) there's also SD.Next (automatic1111 fork): https://github.com/vladmandic/automatic

I was afraid of the Python setup (even though I'm a Python developer), but yep: Make the virtualenv, install the dependencies, done. This is amazing, the images it generates are immediately beautiful. It does look bad that it bundles GTM, though, as a sibling commenter says. Samples: https://imgz.org/i9oicVqo/ https://imgz.org/i8Ur3WjW/ https://imgz.org/i5j6r6TZ/

Be sure to try the styles as well. Thats actually a seperate input than the prompt for SDXL, and most other UIs dont implement the style prompting.

No, its not.

There are two text encoders, but they aren't really “prompt” and “style” inputs.

Most UIs default mode of operation sends the same input to both text encoders, but at least comfy has nodes that support sending separate text to them. OTOH, while there may be some cases where sending different text to the two encoders helps in a predictable way, AFAIK most of the testing people has done has shown that optimal prompt adherence usually comes from sending the same to both.

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

If you are a programmer at heart, ComfyUI will feel very comfortable (pun intended). It's basically a visual programming environment optimized for the type of compositional programming that machine learning models desire. The next thing this space needs is someone to build an API hosting every imaginable model on a vast farm of GPUs in the cloud. Use ComfyUI and other apps to orchestrate the models locally, but send…

So, Civitai.com, if they had an API for the ob-site generation and training functions?

Hmm well that was a massive misunderstanding on my part.
