Agreed. It's worth the learning curve for the sheer power you can enable your workflows. I've always wanted to toy around with node based architectures and this seemed quite easy after using A1111 extensively. The community providing ready to go workflows has made it quite enjoyable too.

I can’t seem to get myself to switch. I’ve only used A1111 a dozen times and only for funny work images… I can’t seem to get myself to switch over to comfy because it looks rather intimidating.

I mean A1111 is great if you are a casual user as it has everything ready at your fingertips.

When you want to apply advanced workflows and repetitive tasks or use something cutting edge then Comfy is handy.

Another A1111 alternative to try which focuses on prompt generation is:

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.

Any plans for SD Turbo? Both base and XL models would be a great fit for a mobile device.

Draw Things is amazing. Great work and thanks for developing it!

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…

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.

Eh, I messed around with it for a while - it's okay and good for beginners, but without much more effort you can get better results out of A1111 or ComfyUI

I like ComfyUI the most now but it's probably not the most beginner friendly. But has great features, is extensible, and you can build workflows that work for you and save them so you don't have to click a million times like Auto1111.

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

did you get fooocus to run on silicon mac with mps support? i cant get mps support running for the love of god - any help would be much appreciated from me (as well as the 20 or so people plus that are currently looking for a solution on github to achieve normal speed generation compared to the 15 minutes per image :)) thank you

Mine takes about ~3 min per image, didn't do anything special. Left everything at default settings after my initial install (about 5 days ago). Not speedy but certainly not 15 min. Running on an M1 with 32gb ram.

I think so… it’s an M1 Max Macbook Pro and it takes about 2-3 mins per image. I followed all the prerequisites on their install for mac page

No idea whether or not the UI is user-friendly, but the installation steps alone for InvokeAI are already a barrier for 99.9% of the world. Not to say Noiselith couldn't be open-source, but it's clearly offering something different from InvokeAI.

I can't even figure out how one would install Noiselith. It has some text that says "Download for free on your PC", but it's not a button or a link. Maybe they're doing some weirdly locked-down user-agent sniffing and refuse to allow me to even attempt to download any version on Linux? InvokeAI is installed via a script, sure, but it's also just a few clicks: download, extract, double-click on a specific file, enjoy.

There are two giant download buttons on the Noiselith homepage. The mac button downloads a dmg and the windows button downloads an exe.

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

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.

It's just missing too many features for me still, even though I like what it has better. I use things like segment-anything, customer upscalers, I prefer how inpainting is controlled in A1111 where you can say if you want whole image or mask area only, etc.

I've personally been using SD.Next, which is a fork of A1111 with support for the diffuser backend, a cleaned-up UI, and also sometimes has support for newer things before A1111, though not always. It's plugin compatible with A1111.
