Welcome to the Stable Diffusion community, dedicated to the exploration and discussion of the open source deep learning model known as Stable Diffusion.

Introduced in 2022, Stable Diffusion uses a latent diffusion model to generate detailed images based on text descriptions and can also be applied to other tasks such as inpainting, outpainting, and generating image-to-image translations guided by text prompts. The model was developed by the startup Stability AI, in collaboration with a number of academic researchers and non-profit organizations, marking a significant shift from previous proprietary models that were accessible only via cloud services.

Do you run locally? (lemmy.world)

I was curious, do you run Stable Diffusion locally? On someone else's server? What kind of computer do you need to run SD locally?

locally, always.

I even got it to run without GPU on a pure old i5 CPU with 8GB system RAM (not VRAM) paired with 32GB swap. SD1.5 takes 4-10 minutes per image, SDXL about 2 hours. But it works. With GPU its between 7 and 90 seconds per image, depending on model and settings.

What were your settings for the CPU usage? I have an older laptop it would be fun to get it running on.

Just install ComfyUI and start it with the --cpu flag. Ensure you have enough system RAM and a swap partition (preferably on nvme/ssd).

How did you get to use regular ram?
