- This PR enables two new commands in the invoke.py script
!models -- list the available models and their cache status
!switch <model> -- switch to the indicated model
Example:
invoke> !models
laion400m not loaded Latent Diffusion LAION400M model
stable-diffusion-1.4 active Stable Diffusion inference model version 1.4
waifu-1.3 cached Waifu anime model version 1.3
invoke> !switch waifu-1.3
>> Caching model stable-diffusion-1.4 in system RAM
>> Retrieving model waifu-1.3 from system RAM cache
The name and descriptions of the models are taken from
`config/models.yaml`. A future enhancement to `model_cache.py` will be
to enable new model stanzas to be added to the file
programmatically. This will be useful for the WebGUI.
More details:
- Use fast switching algorithm described in PR #948
- Models are selected using their configuration stanza name
given in models.yaml.
- To avoid filling up CPU RAM with cached models, this PR
implements an LRU cache that monitors available CPU RAM.
- The caching code allows the minimum value of available RAM
to be adjusted, but invoke.py does not currently have a
command-line argument that allows you to set it. The
minimum free RAM is arbitrarily set to 2 GB.
- Add optional description field to configs/models.yaml
Unrelated fixes:
- Added ">>" to CompViz model loading messages in order to make user experience
more consistent.
- When generating an image greater than defaults, will only warn about possible
VRAM filling the first time.
- Fixed bug that was causing help message to be printed twice. This involved
moving the import line for the web backend into the section where it is
called.
