This looks like its just a quick front-end to the ControlNet scribble model (perhaps with a customized underlying model instead of base Stable Diffusion), with canned settings, presumable a canned negative prompt, and maybe some common stuff added beyond the user input to the positive prompt. Which is not to be dismissive, its a very nice demo of what SD+ControlNet scribble can do. But for people who like it, the ControlNet scribble model (and the other ControlNet models, depth-map based, pose control, edge detection, etc.) [0] are supported in the ControlNet extension [1] to the A1111 Stable Diffusion Web UI [2], and probably similar extensions for other popular stable diffusion UIs. Should work in any current browser, and at least the A1111 UI, with ControlNet models, works on machines with as little as 4GB VRAM. [0] home repo: https://
