I've seen references to merging models together to be able to generate new kinds of imagery or styles, how does that work? I think you use Dreambooth to make specialized models, and I think I got an idea about how that basically assigns a name to a vector in the latent space that represents the thing you want to generate new imagery of, but can you generate multiple models and blend them together? Edit: Looks like AUTOMATIC1111 can merge three checkpoints. I still don't know how it works technically, but I guess that's how it's done? https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui

As said elsewhere in this thread, Automatic1111 gives a local web frontend integration to a lot of the Stable Diffusion variants. There is a pull request to integrate Dreambooth into Stable Diffusion, which I am already a heavy user of - https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/pull... . This makes it all push-button simple, and integrated with all the other Automatic1111 Stable Diffusion scripts. While with the release of Stable Diffusion there has been a lot of innovation in text to image AI in the past two months, there are problem sets other than that, and Python libraries like scikit-learn ( https://scikit-learn.org/stable/tutorial/machine_learning_ma... ) use machine learning in other domains as well.

andthenwhat·Nov 5, 2022Recommendation phrase
For the image generation (or even indexing with the CLIP interrogator) side of things, recommend just installing the AUTOMATIC1111 github repo (https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui), it's a web ui with pretty much every variant of stable diffusion you could want to try out, like txt2img, img2img, inpainting (both textual inversion and dream booth), outpainting, style customization, clip interrogation, etc. Most importantly, there are about 1000 youtube tutorials on how to do each of these things with it, so you can pick your interest areas and just try it out without having to understand all the details first. From there, if you're interested in how it works, I highly recommend the last 4 videos on Jeremy Howard's youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/howardjeremyp/videos He's currently teaching a class on stab

You can use Stable Diffusion on google colab[0] for free, and if you pay for the subscription you can generate several thousand images for $10 worth of credits, additionally you can opt to use a whole A100 40gig to make larger images, or spit out 512x512 at like 3 seconds per image for really rapid exploration. No reason to use midjourney at all, and in fact ethically it's better not to imo. [0]https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki...
