Fooocus

Should probably mention this as a root comment, but various local image gen models like fooocus [1] run on basically any remotely modern hardware, have phenomenal output quality, and cost basically nothing. I think companies trying to sell image gen at this point are just banking on ignorance. [1] - https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus

Sure, for a balance between usability and power I'd recommend fooocus. [1] AmuseAI [2] is an alternative that is extremely plug-and-play which can be especially handy with AMD hardware, but is a bit less powerful and also censored by default. ComfyUI [3] is an advanced tool for rich customization and what not. However it's anything but comfy if you're not already quite knowledgeable in this domain - I would not recommend it for a first tool.

Minor correction. FOOCUS [1] isn't a LoRA - it's a Gradio-based frontend (in the same vein as Automatic1111, Forge, etc.) for image generation. And most SOTA models (Imagen, Qwen 20b, etc) at this point can actually already handle a fair amount of text in a single T2I generation. Flux Dev provided your willing to roll a couple gens can do it as well. [1] https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus

For runtime, I use ComfyUi [0] which is node based and therefore a bit hard to learn. But you can just look at the examples on their github. Foocus [1] also seems to be popular and a bit more conventional perhaps, though I didn't try it. For models, Flux [2] is pretty good and quite straightforward to use. (In general, you will have a runtime and then you have to get the model weights seperately). Which Flux variant depends on your graphics card, the Flux.1 schnell should work for most decently modern ones. (And the website, civitai.com is a repository for models and other associated tools.)

That's what Fooocus is - it allows you to specify a "text expander" LLM that sits in between the input prompt and the diffusion model. https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus

I like how the body shapes of most of the nudes are more 'real' looking as opposed to what you typically find. Well done. For others like me who aren't familiar with fooocus, there's a lot of ai-related sites with that name. I believe this is the one parent is referring to: https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus

Yeah, it uses GPT2: https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus/issues/1345

That looks very impressive unless the demo is cherrypicked, would be great if this could be implemented into a frontend like Fooocus https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus

You might be thinking of Fooocus: https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus The Stable Diffusion web interface that got a lot of people's attention originally was Automatic1111: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui Fooocus is definitely more beginner friendly. It does a lot of the prompt engineering for you. Automatic1111 has a ton of plugins, most notably ControlNet which gives you fine grained control over the images, but there is a learning curve.

....So that's how Google fell... their enemies that stood before them With the power of its Gemini - Google was able to inject product ranking placement tokens into any prompt sent through its tentacles to the deep blue datacenter where, beneath the North Sea sits a kraken of subliminal advertising. The new concept is to put secret subliminal ads in the responses AI makes across the board in order to secretly drive sentiment while the users believe they are educating themselves, they are secretly indoctrinating themselves to be the clickslaves Google sees them to be. -- I just installed this last night on my laptop: https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus Highly recommend: >"Looking up from the deck of golden gate bridge at the towers and metal work, the towers rise and arch back in an ominous and foreboding manner. more artistic, like an a

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: https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus

installation/setup is dead simple. up and running in under 3 minutes: git clone https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus.git cd Fooocus pip3 install -r requirements_versions.txt python3 entry_with_update.py

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 came out, and even having followed the space extensively, setting up an equivalent pipeline in ComfyUI (much less diffusers) would be a pain. Its like a "greatest hits and best defaults" for SDXL.
