 The Docker daemon on the system must be already set up to use the GPU. In case of Linux, this involves installing `nvidia-docker-runtime` and configuring the `nvidia` runtime as default. Steps will be different for AMD. Please see Docker documentation for the most up-to-date instructions for using your GPU with Docker.
 
+To use an AMD GPU, set `GPU_DRIVER=rocm` in your `.env` file.

+# Release Process
+
+The app is published in twice, in different build formats.
+
+- A [PyPI] distribution. This includes both a source distribution and built distribution (a wheel). Users install with `pip install invokeai`. The updater uses this build.
+- An installer on the [InvokeAI Releases Page]. This is a zip file with install scripts and a wheel. This is only used for new installs.
+
+## General Prep
+
+Make a developer call-out for PRs to merge. Merge and test things out.
+
+While the release workflow does not include end-to-end tests, it does pause before publishing so you can download and test the final build.
+
+## Release Workflow
+
+The `release.yml` workflow runs a number of jobs to handle code checks, tests, build and publish on PyPI.
+
+It is triggered on **tag push**, when the tag matches `v*`. It doesn't matter if you've prepped a release branch like `release/v3.5.0` or are releasing from `main` - it works the same.
+
+> Because commits are reference-counted, it is safe to create a release branch, tag it, let the workflow run, then delete the branch. So long as the tag exists, that commit will exist.
+
+### Triggering the Workflow
+
+Run `make tag-release` to tag the current commit and kick off the workflow.
+
+The release may also be dispatched [manually].
+
+### Workflow Jobs and Process
+
+The workflow consists of a number of concurrently-run jobs, and two final publish jobs.
+
+The publish jobs require manual approval and are only run if the other jobs succeed.
+
+#### `check-version` Job
+
+This job checks that the git ref matches the app version. It matches the ref against the `__version__` variable in `invokeai/version/invokeai_version.py`.
+
+When the workflow is triggered by tag push, the ref is the tag. If the workflow is run manually, the ref is the target selected from the **Use workflow from** dropdown.
+
+This job uses [samuelcolvin/check-python-version].
+
+> Any valid [version specifier] works, so long as the tag matches the version. The release workflow works exactly the same for `RC`, `post`, `dev`, etc.
+
+#### Check and Test Jobs
+
+- **`python-tests`**: runs `pytest` on matrix of platforms
+- **`python-checks`**: runs `ruff` (format and lint)
+- **`frontend-tests`**: runs `vitest`
+- **`frontend-checks`**: runs `prettier` (format), `eslint` (lint), `dpdm` (circular refs), `tsc` (static type check) and `knip` (unused imports)
+
+> **TODO** We should add `mypy` or `pyright` to the **`check-python`** job.
+
+> **TODO** We should add an end-to-end test job that generates an image.
+
+#### `build-installer` Job
+
+This sets up both python and frontend dependencies and builds the python package. Internally, this runs `installer/create_installer.sh` and uploads two artifacts:
+
+- **`dist`**: the python distribution, to be published on PyPI
+- **`InvokeAI-installer-${VERSION}.zip`**: the installer to be included in the GitHub release
+
+#### Sanity Check & Smoke Test
+
+At this point, the release workflow pauses as the remaining publish jobs require approval.
+
+A maintainer should go to the **Summary** tab of the workflow, download the installer and test it. Ensure the app loads and generates.
+
+> The same wheel file is bundled in the installer and in the `dist` artifact, which is uploaded to PyPI. You should end up with the exactly the same installation of the `invokeai` package from any of these methods.
+
+#### PyPI Publish Jobs
+
+The publish jobs will run if any of the previous jobs fail.
+
+They use [GitHub environments], which are configured as [trusted publishers] on PyPI.
+
+Both jobs require a maintainer to approve them from the workflow's **Summary** tab.
+
+- Click the **Review deployments** button
+- Select the environment (either `testpypi` or `pypi`)
+- Click **Approve and deploy**
+
+> **If the version already exists on PyPI, the publish jobs will fail.** PyPI only allows a given version to be published once - you cannot change it. If version published on PyPI has a problem, you'll need to "fail forward" by bumping the app version and publishing a followup release.
+
+#### `publish-testpypi` Job
+
+Publishes the distribution on the [Test PyPI] index, using the `testpypi` GitHub environment.
+
+This job is not required for the production PyPI publish, but included just in case you want to test the PyPI release.
+
+If approved and successful, you could try out the test release like this:
+
+```sh
+# Create a new virtual environment
+python -m venv ~/.test-invokeai-dist --prompt test-invokeai-dist
+# Install the distribution from Test PyPI
+pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ invokeai
+# Run and test the app
+invokeai-web
+# Cleanup
+deactivate
+rm -rf ~/.test-invokeai-dist
+```
+
+#### `publish-pypi` Job
+
+Publishes the distribution on the production PyPI index, using the `pypi` GitHub environment.
+
+## Publish the GitHub Release with installer
+
+Once the release is published to PyPI, it's time to publish the GitHub release.
+
+1. [Draft a new release] on GitHub, choosing the tag that triggered the release.
+2. Write the release notes, describing important changes. The **Generate release notes** button automatically inserts the changelog and new contributors, and you can copy/paste the intro from previous releases.
+3. Upload the zip file created in **`build`** job into the Assets section of the release notes. You can also upload the zip into the body of the release notes, since it can be hard for users to find the Assets section.
+4. Check the **Set as a pre-release** and **Create a discussion for this release** checkboxes at the bottom of the release page.
+5. Publish the pre-release.
+6. Announce the pre-release in Discord.
+
+> **TODO** Workflows can create a GitHub release from a template and upload release assets. One popular action to handle this is [ncipollo/release-action]. A future enhancement to the release process could set this up.
+
+## Manual Build
+
+The `build installer` workflow can be dispatched manually. This is useful to test the installer for a given branch or tag.
+
+No checks are run, it just builds.
+
+## Manual Release
+
+The `release` workflow can be dispatched manually. You must dispatch the workflow from the right tag, else it will fail the version check.
+
+This functionality is available as a fallback in case something goes wonky. Typically, releases should be triggered via tag push as described above.

+
+##  The API
+
+The default download queue is `DownloadQueueService`, an
+implementation of ABC `DownloadQueueServiceBase`. It juggles multiple
+background download requests and provides facilities for interrogating
+and cancelling the requests. Access to a current or past download task
+is mediated via `DownloadJob` objects which report the current status
+of a job request
+
+### The Queue Object
+
+A default download queue is located in
+`ApiDependencies.invoker.services.download_queue`. However, you can
+create additional instances if you need to isolate your queue from the
+main one.
+
+```
+queue = DownloadQueueService(event_bus=events)
+```
+
+`DownloadQueueService()` takes three optional arguments:
+
+| **Argument** | **Type**          |  **Default**  | **Description** |
+|----------------|-----------------|---------------|-----------------|
+| `max_parallel_dl`  | int                         | 5    | Maximum number of simultaneous downloads allowed |
+| `event_bus` | EventServiceBase   | None | System-wide FastAPI event bus for reporting download events |
+| `requests_session` | requests.sessions.Session   | None | An alternative requests Session object to use for the download |
+
+`max_parallel_dl` specifies how many download jobs are allowed to run
+simultaneously. Each will run in a different thread of execution.
+
+`event_bus` is an EventServiceBase, typically the one created at
+InvokeAI startup. If present, download events are periodically emitted
+on this bus to allow clients to follow download progress.
+
+`requests_session` is a url library requests Session object. It is
+used for testing.
+
+### The Job object
+
+The queue operates on a series of download job objects. These objects
+specify the source and destination of the download, and keep track of
+the progress of the download.
+
+The only job type currently implemented is `DownloadJob`, a pydantic object with the
+following fields:
+
+| **Field**      | **Type**        |  **Default**  | **Description** |
+|----------------|-----------------|---------------|-----------------|
+| _Fields passed in at job creation time_                               |
+| `source`         | AnyHttpUrl      |               | Where to download from |
+| `dest`           | Path            |               | Where to download to              |
+| `access_token`   | str             |               | [optional] string containing authentication token for access |
+| `on_start`       | Callable        |               | [optional] callback when the download starts |
+| `on_progress`    | Callable        |               | [optional] callback called at intervals during download progress |
+| `on_complete`    | Callable        |               | [optional] callback called after successful download completion |
+| `on_error`       | Callable        |               | [optional] callback called after an error occurs  |
+| `id`             | int             | auto assigned | Job ID, an integer >= 0           |
+| `priority`       | int             | 10            | Job priority. Lower priorities run before higher priorities |
+|                                                                                                        |
+| _Fields updated over the course of the download task_
+| `status`         | DownloadJobStatus|              | Status code                                |
+| `download_path`  | Path |              | Path to the location of the downloaded file |
+| `job_started`    | float            |              | Timestamp for when the job started running |
+| `job_ended`      | float            |              | Timestamp for when the job completed or errored out |
+| `job_sequence`   | int              |              | A counter that is incremented each time a model is dequeued |
+| `bytes`          | int              | 0            | Bytes downloaded so far   |
+| `total_bytes`    | int              | 0            | Total size of the file at the remote site  |
+| `error_type`     | str              |              | String version of the exception that caused an error during download |
+| `error`          | str              |              | String version of the traceback associated with an error |
+| `cancelled`      | bool             | False        | Set to true if the job was cancelled by the caller|
+
+When you create a job, you can assign it a `priority`. If multiple
+jobs are queued, the job with the lowest priority runs first.
+
+Every job has a `source` and a `dest`. `source` is a pydantic.networks AnyHttpUrl object.
+The `dest` is a path on the local filesystem that specifies the
+destination for the downloaded object. Its semantics are
+described below.
+
+When the job is submitted, it is assigned a numeric `id`. The id can
+then be used to fetch the job object from the queue.
+
+The `status` field is updated by the queue to indicate where the job
+is in its lifecycle. Values are defined in the string enum
+`DownloadJobStatus`, a symbol available from
+`invokeai.app.services.download_manager`. Possible values are:
+
+| **Value**    |   **String Value**  | ** Description ** |
+|--------------|---------------------|-------------------|
+| `WAITING`      | waiting           | Job is on the queue but not yet running|
+| `RUNNING`      | running           | The download is started                |
+| `COMPLETED`    | completed         | Job has finished its work without an error |
+| `ERROR`        | error             | Job encountered an error and will not run again|
+
+`job_started` and `job_ended` indicate when the job
+was started (using a python timestamp) and when it completed.
+
+In case of an error, the job's status will be set to `DownloadJobStatus.ERROR`, the text of the
+Exception that caused the error will be placed in the `error_type`
+field and the traceback that led to the error will be in `error`.
+
+A cancelled job will have status `DownloadJobStatus.ERROR` and an
+`error_type` field of "DownloadJobCancelledException". In addition,
+the job's `cancelled` property will be set to True.
+
+### Callbacks
+
+Download jobs can be associated with a series of callbacks, each with
+the signature `Callable[["DownloadJob"], None]`. The callbacks are assigned
+using optional arguments `on_start`, `on_progress`, `on_complete` and
+`on_error`. When the corresponding event occurs, the callback wil be
+invoked and passed the job. The callback will be run in a `try:`
+context in the same thread as the download job. Any exceptions that
+occur during execution of the callback will be caught and converted
+into a log error message, thereby allowing the download to continue.
+
+#### `TqdmProgress`
+
+The `invokeai.app.services.download.download_default` module defines a
+class named `TqdmProgress` which can be used as an `on_progress`
+handler to display a completion bar in the console. Use as follows:
+
+```
+from invokeai.app.services.download import TqdmProgress
+
+download_queue.download(source='http://some.server.somewhere/some_file',
+                        dest='/tmp/downloads',
+                        on_progress=TqdmProgress().update
+                        )
+
+```
+
+### Events
+
+If the queue was initialized with the InvokeAI event bus (the case
+when using `ApiDependencies.invoker.services.download_queue`), then
+download events will also be issued on the bus. The events are:
+
+* `download_started` -- This is issued when a job is taken off the
+queue and a request is made to the remote server for the URL headers, but before any data
+has been downloaded. The event payload will contain the keys `source`
+and `download_path`. The latter contains the path that the URL will be
+downloaded to.
+
+* `download_progress -- This is issued periodically as the download
+runs. The payload contains the keys `source`, `download_path`,
+`current_bytes` and `total_bytes`. The latter two fields can be
+used to display the percent complete.
+
+* `download_complete` -- This is issued when the download completes
+successfully. The payload contains the keys `source`, `download_path`
+and `total_bytes`.
+
+* `download_error` -- This is issued when the download stops because
+of an error condition. The payload contains the fields `error_type`
+and `error`. The former is the text representation of the exception,
+and the latter is a traceback showing where the error occurred.
+
+### Job control
+
+To create a job call the queue's `download()` method. You can list all
+jobs using `list_jobs()`, fetch a single job by its with
+`id_to_job()`, cancel a running job with `cancel_job()`, cancel all
+running jobs with `cancel_all_jobs()`, and wait for all jobs to finish
+with `join()`.
+
+#### job = queue.download(source, dest, priority, access_token)
+
+Create a new download job and put it on the queue, returning the
+DownloadJob object.
+
+#### jobs = queue.list_jobs()
+
+Return a list of all active and inactive `DownloadJob`s.
+
+#### job = queue.id_to_job(id)
+
+Return the job corresponding to given ID.
+
+Return a list of all active and inactive `DownloadJob`s.
+
+#### queue.prune_jobs()
+
+Remove inactive (complete or errored) jobs from the listing returned
+by `list_jobs()`.
+
+#### queue.join()
+
+Block until all pending jobs have run to completion or errored out.

+#### Enabling Type-Checking with Pylance
+
+We use python's typing system in InvokeAI. PR reviews will include checking that types are present and correct. We don't enforce types with `mypy` at this time, but that is on the horizon.
+
+Using a code analysis tool to automatically type check your code (and types) is very important when writing with types. These tools provide immediate feedback in your editor when types are incorrect, and following their suggestions lead to fewer runtime bugs.
+
+Pylance, installed at the beginning of this guide, is the de-facto python LSP (language server protocol). It provides type checking in the editor (among many other features). Once installed, you do need to enable type checking manually:
+
+- Open a python file
+- Look along the status bar in VSCode for `{ } Python`
+- Click the `{ }`
+- Turn type checking on - basic is fine
+
+You'll now see red squiggly lines where type issues are detected. Hover your cursor over the indicated symbols to see what's wrong.

+In 99% of cases when the type checker says there is a problem, there really is a problem, and you should take some time to understand and resolve what it is pointing out.

+# InvokeAI Backend Tests
+
+We use `pytest` to run the backend python tests. (See [pyproject.toml](/pyproject.toml) for the default `pytest` options.)
+
+## Fast vs. Slow
+All tests are categorized as either 'fast' (no test annotation) or 'slow' (annotated with the `@pytest.mark.slow` decorator).
+
+'Fast' tests are run to validate every PR, and are fast enough that they can be run routinely during development.
+
+'Slow' tests are currently only run manually on an ad-hoc basis. In the future, they may be automated to run nightly. Most developers are only expected to run the 'slow' tests that directly relate to the feature(s) that they are working on.
+
+As a rule of thumb, tests should be marked as 'slow' if there is a chance that they take >1s (e.g. on a CPU-only machine with slow internet connection). Common examples of slow tests are tests that depend on downloading a model, or running model inference.
+
+## Running Tests
+
+Below are some common test commands:
+```bash
+# Run the fast tests. (This implicitly uses the configured default option: `-m "not slow"`.)
+pytest tests/
+
+# Equivalent command to run the fast tests.
+pytest tests/ -m "not slow"
+
+# Run the slow tests.
+pytest tests/ -m "slow"
+
+# Run the slow tests from a specific file.
+pytest tests/path/to/slow_test.py -m "slow"
+
+# Run all tests (fast and slow).
+pytest tests -m ""
+```
+
+## Test Organization
+
+All backend tests are in the [`tests/`](/tests/) directory. This directory mirrors the organization of the `invokeai/` directory. For example, tests for `invokeai/model_management/model_manager.py` would be found in `tests/model_management/test_model_manager.py`.
+
+TODO: The above statement is aspirational. A re-organization of legacy tests is required to make it true.
+
+## Tests that depend on models
+
+There are a few things to keep in mind when adding tests that depend on models.
+
+1. If a required model is not already present, it should automatically be downloaded as part of the test setup.
+2. If a model is already downloaded, it should not be re-downloaded unnecessarily.
+3. Take reasonable care to keep the total number of models required for the tests low. Whenever possible, re-use models that are already required for other tests. If you are adding a new model, consider including a comment to explain why it is required/unique.
+
+There are several utilities to help with model setup for tests. Here is a sample test that depends on a model:
+```python
+import pytest
+import torch
+
+from invokeai.backend.model_management.models.base import BaseModelType, ModelType
+from invokeai.backend.util.test_utils import install_and_load_model
+
+@pytest.mark.slow
+def test_model(model_installer, torch_device):
+    model_info = install_and_load_model(
+        model_installer=model_installer,
+        model_path_id_or_url="HF/dummy_model_id",
+        model_name="dummy_model",
+        base_model=BaseModelType.StableDiffusion1,
+        model_type=ModelType.Dummy,
+    )
+
+    dummy_input = build_dummy_input(torch_device)
+
+    with torch.no_grad(), model_info as model:
+        model.to(torch_device, dtype=torch.float32)
+        output = model(dummy_input)
+
+    # Validate output...
+
+```
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+To review test coverage, append `--cov` to your pytest command:
+```bash
+pytest tests/ --cov
+```
+
+Test outcomes and coverage will be reported in the terminal. In addition, a more detailed report is created in both XML and HTML format in the `./coverage` folder.

-The UI is a fairly straightforward Typescript React app, with the Unified Canvas being more complex.
-
-Code is located in `invokeai/frontend/web/` for review.
-
-## Stack
-
-State management is Redux via [Redux Toolkit](https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-toolkit). We lean heavily on RTK:
-
-- `createAsyncThunk` for HTTP requests
-- `createEntityAdapter` for fetching images and models
-- `createListenerMiddleware` for workflows
-
-The API client and associated types are generated from the OpenAPI schema. See API_CLIENT.md.
-
-Communication with server is a mix of HTTP and [socket.io](https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client) (with a simple socket.io redux middleware to help).
-
-[Chakra-UI](https://github.com/chakra-ui/chakra-ui) & [Mantine](https://github.com/mantinedev/mantine) for components and styling.
-
-[Konva](https://github.com/konvajs/react-konva) for the canvas, but we are pushing the limits of what is feasible with it (and HTML canvas in general). We plan to rebuild it with [PixiJS](https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs) to take advantage of WebGL's improved raster handling.
-
-[Vite](https://vitejs.dev/) for bundling.
-
-Localisation is via [i18next](https://github.com/i18next/react-i18next), but translation happens on our [Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/invokeai/) project. Only the English source strings should be changed on this repo.
-
-## Contributing
-
-Thanks for your interest in contributing to the InvokeAI Web UI!
-
-We encourage you to ping @psychedelicious and @blessedcoolant on [Discord](https://discord.gg/ZmtBAhwWhy) if you want to contribute, just to touch base and ensure your work doesn't conflict with anything else going on. The project is very active.
-
-### Dev Environment
-
-**Setup** 
-
-1. Install [node](https://nodejs.org/en/download/). You can confirm node is installed with:
-```bash
-node --version
-```
-2. Install [yarn classic](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/lang/en/) and confirm it is installed by running this:
-```bash
-npm install --global yarn
-yarn --version
-```
-
-From `invokeai/frontend/web/` run `yarn install` to get everything set up.
-
-Start everything in dev mode:
-1. Ensure your virtual environment is running
-2. Start the dev server: `yarn dev`
-3. Start the InvokeAI Nodes backend: `python scripts/invokeai-web.py # run from the repo root`
-4. Point your browser to the dev server address e.g. [http://localhost:5173/](http://localhost:5173/)
-
-### VSCode Remote Dev
-
-We've noticed an intermittent issue with the VSCode Remote Dev port forwarding. If you use this feature of VSCode, you may intermittently click the Invoke button and then get nothing until the request times out. Suggest disabling the IDE's port forwarding feature and doing it manually via SSH:
-
-`ssh -L 9090:localhost:9090 -L 5173:localhost:5173 user@host`
-
-### Production builds
-
-For a number of technical and logistical reasons, we need to commit UI build artefacts to the repo.
-
-If you submit a PR, there is a good chance we will ask you to include a separate commit with a build of the app.
-
-To build for production, run `yarn build`.

This can be achieved by asking in the #dev-chat channel, tackling a [good first issue](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/contribute) or finding an item on the [roadmap](https://github.com/orgs/invoke-ai/projects/7). If nothing in any of those places catches your eye, feel free to work on something of interest to you! 
+- [x] Make your first Pull Request with the guide below
+- [x] Happy development! Don't be afraid to ask for help - we're happy to help you contribute!
+
+
+## How do I make a contribution?
+
+Never made an open source contribution before? Wondering how contributions work in our project? Here's a quick rundown!
+
+Before starting these steps, ensure you have your local environment [configured for development](../LOCAL_DEVELOPMENT.md).
+
+1.  Find a [good first issue](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/contribute) that you are interested in addressing or a feature that you would like to add. Then, reach out to our team in the [#dev-chat](https://discord.com/channels/1020123559063990373/1049495067846524939) channel of the Discord to ensure you are  setup for success. 
+2. Fork the [InvokeAI](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI) repository to your GitHub profile. This means that you will have a copy of the repository under **your-GitHub-username/InvokeAI**.
+3. Clone the repository to your local machine using:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/your-GitHub-username/InvokeAI.git
+```
+If you're unfamiliar with using Git through the commandline, [GitHub Desktop](https://desktop.github.com) is a easy-to-use alternative with a UI. You can do all the same steps listed here, but through the interface. 
+4. Create a new branch for your fix using:
+```bash
+git checkout -b branch-name-here
+```
+5. Make the appropriate changes for the issue you are trying to address or the feature that you want to add.
+6. Add the file contents of the changed files to the "snapshot" git uses to manage the state of the project, also known as the index:
+```bash
+git add -A
+```
+7. Store the contents of the index with a descriptive message.
+```bash
+git commit -m "Insert a short message of the changes made here"
+```
+8. Push the changes to the remote repository using
+```bash
+git push origin branch-name-here
+```
+9. Submit a pull request to the **main** branch of the InvokeAI repository. If you're not sure how to, [follow this guide](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request)
+10. Title the pull request with a short description of the changes made and the issue or bug number associated with your change. For example, you can title an issue like so "Added more log outputting to resolve #1234".
+11. In the description of the pull request, explain the changes that you made, any issues you think exist with the pull request you made, and any questions you have for the maintainer. It's OK if your pull request is not perfect (no pull request is), the reviewer will be able to help you fix any problems and improve it!
+12. Wait for the pull request to be reviewed by other collaborators.
+13. Make changes to the pull request if the reviewer(s) recommend them.
+14. Celebrate your success after your pull request is merged!
+
+If you’d like to learn more about contributing to Open Source projects, here is a [Getting Started Guide](https://opensource.com/article/19/7/create-pull-request-github). 
+
+
+## Best Practices: 
+* Keep your pull requests small. Smaller pull requests are more likely to be accepted and merged
+* Comments! Commenting your code helps reviewers easily understand your contribution
+* Use Python and Typescript’s typing systems, and consider using an editor with [LSP](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/) support to streamline development
+* Make all communications public. This ensure knowledge is shared with the whole community
+
+

+## :octicons-log-16: Important Changes Since Version 2.3
+
+### Nodes
+
+Behind the scenes, InvokeAI has been completely rewritten to support
+"nodes," small unitary operations that can be combined into graphs to
+form arbitrary workflows. For example, there is a prompt node that
+processes the prompt string and feeds it to a text2latent node that
+generates a latent image. The latents are then fed to a latent2image
+node that translates the latent image into a PNG.
+
+The WebGUI has a node editor that allows you to graphically design and
+execute custom node graphs. The ability to save and load graphs is
+still a work in progress, but coming soon.
+
+### Command-Line Interface Retired
+
+All "invokeai" command-line interfaces have been retired as of version
+3.4.
+
+To launch the Web GUI from the command-line, use the command
+`invokeai-web` rather than the traditional `invokeai --web`.
+
+### ControlNet
+
+This version of InvokeAI features ControlNet, a system that allows you
+to achieve exact poses for human and animal figures by providing a
+model to follow. Full details are found in [ControlNet](features/CONTROLNET.md)
+
+### New Schedulers
+
+The list of schedulers has been completely revamped and brought up to date:
+

+
+# :material-tune-variant: Variations
+
+## Intro
+
+InvokeAI's support for variations enables you to do the following:
+
+1. Generate a series of systematic variations of an image, given a prompt. The
+   amount of variation from one image to the next can be controlled.
+
+2. Given two or more variations that you like, you can combine them in a
+   weighted fashion.
+
+!!! Information ""
+
+    This cheat sheet provides a quick guide for how this works in practice, using
+    variations to create the desired image of Xena, Warrior Princess.
+
+## Step 1 -- Find a base image that you like
+
+The prompt we will use throughout is:
+
+`#!bash "lucy lawless as xena, warrior princess, character portrait, high resolution."`
+
+This will be indicated as `#!bash "prompt"` in the examples below.
+
+First we let SD create a series of images in the usual way, in this case
+requesting six iterations.
+
+<figure markdown>
+![var1](../assets/variation_walkthru/000001.3357757885.png)
+<figcaption> Seed 3357757885 looks nice </figcaption>
+</figure>
+
+---
+
+## Step 2 - Generating Variations
+
+Let's try to generate some variations on this image. We select the "*"
+symbol in the line of icons above the image in order to fix the prompt
+and seed. Then we open up the "Variations" section of the generation
+panel and use the slider to set the variation amount to 0.2. The
+higher this value, the more each generated image will differ from the
+previous one.
+
+Now we run the prompt a second time, requesting six iterations. You
+will see six images that are thematically related to each other. Try
+increasing and decreasing the variation amount and see what happens.
+
+### **Variation Sub Seeding**
+
+Note that the output for each image has a `-V` option giving the "variant
+subseed" for that image, consisting of a seed followed by the variation amount
+used to generate it.
+
+This gives us a series of closely-related variations, including the two shown
+here.

+I like the expression on Xena's face in the first one (subseed 3647897225), and
+the armor on her shoulder in the second one (subseed 1614299449). Can we combine
+them to get the best of both worlds?
+
+We combine the two variations using `-V` (`--with_variations`). Again, we must
+provide the seed for the originally-chosen image in order for this to work.
+
+```bash
+invoke> "prompt"  -S3357757885 -V3647897225,0.1,1614299449,0.1
+Outputs:

+```
+
+Here we are providing equal weights (0.1 and 0.1) for both the subseeds. The
+resulting image is close, but not exactly what I wanted:
+

+</figure>
+
+We could either try combining the images with different weights, or we can
+generate more variations around the almost-but-not-quite image. We do the
+latter, using both the `-V` (combining) and `-v` (variation strength) options.
+Note that we use `-n6` to generate 6 variations:
+
+```bash

+
+This produces six images, all slight variations on the combination of the chosen
+two images. Here's the one I like best:

+
+As you can see, this is a very powerful tool, which when combined with subprompt
+weighting, gives you great control over the content and quality of your
+generated images.
+
+## Variations and Samplers
+
+The sampler you choose has a strong effect on variation strength. Some
+samplers, such as `k_euler_a` are very "creative" and produce significant
+amounts of image-to-image variation even when the seed is fixed and the
+`-v` argument is very low. Others are more deterministic. Feel free to
+experiment until you find the combination that you like.
+
+Also be aware of the [Perlin Noise](../features/OTHER.md#thresholding-and-perlin-noise-initialization-options)
+feature, which provides another way of introducing variability into your
+image generation requests.

-# :material-library-shelves: Textual Inversions and LoRAs
-
-With the advances in research, many new capabilities are available to customize the knowledge and understanding of novel concepts not originally contained in the base model. 
-
-
-## Using Textual Inversion Files
-
-Textual inversion (TI) files are small models that customize the output of
-Stable Diffusion image generation. They can augment SD with specialized subjects
-and artistic styles. They are also known as "embeds" in the machine learning
-world.
-
-Each TI file introduces one or more vocabulary terms to the SD model. These are
-known in InvokeAI as "triggers." Triggers are denoted using angle brackets 
-as in "<trigger-phrase>". The two most common type of
-TI files that you'll encounter are `.pt` and `.bin` files, which are produced by
-different TI training packages. InvokeAI supports both formats, but its
-[built-in TI training system](TRAINING.md) produces `.pt`.
-
-The [Hugging Face company](https://huggingface.co/sd-concepts-library) has
-amassed a large ligrary of >800 community-contributed TI files covering a
-broad range of subjects and styles. You can also install your own or others' TI files 
-by placing them in the designated directory for the compatible model type
-
-### An Example
-
-Here are a few examples to illustrate how it works. All these images were
-generated using the command-line client and the Stable Diffusion 1.5 model:
-
-|         Japanese gardener          | Japanese gardener <ghibli-face> | Japanese gardener <hoi4-leaders> | Japanese gardener <cartoona-animals> |
-| :--------------------------------: | :-----------------------------------: | :------------------------------------: | :----------------------------------------: |
-| ![](../assets/concepts/image1.png) |  ![](../assets/concepts/image2.png)   |   ![](../assets/concepts/image3.png)   |     ![](../assets/concepts/image4.png)     |
-
-You can also combine styles and concepts:
-
-<figure markdown>
-  | A portrait of &lt;alf&gt; in &lt;cartoona-animal&gt; style |
-  | :--------------------------------------------------------: |
-  | ![](../assets/concepts/image5.png)                         |
-</figure>
-
-
-## Installing your Own TI Files
-
-You may install any number of `.pt` and `.bin` files simply by copying them into
-the `embedding` directory of the corresponding InvokeAI models directory (usually `invokeai`
-in your home directory). For example, you can simply move a Stable Diffusion 1.5 embedding file to
-the `sd-1/embedding` folder. Be careful not to overwrite one file with another.
-For example, TI files generated by the Hugging Face toolkit share the named
-`learned_embedding.bin`. You can rename these, or use subdirectories to keep them distinct.
-
-At startup time, InvokeAI will scan the various `embedding` directories and load any TI
-files it finds there for compatible models. At startup you will see a message similar to this one:
-
-```bash
->> Current embedding manager terms: <HOI4-Leader>, <princess-knight>
-```
-To use these when generating, simply type the `<` key in your prompt to open the Textual Inversion WebUI and 
-select the embedding you'd like to use. This UI has type-ahead support, so you can easily find supported embeddings.
-
-## Using LoRAs
-
-LoRA files are models that customize the output of Stable Diffusion
-image generation.  Larger than embeddings, but much smaller than full
-models, they augment SD with improved understanding of subjects and
-artistic styles.
-
-Unlike TI files, LoRAs do not introduce novel vocabulary into the
-model's known tokens. Instead, LoRAs augment the model's weights that
-are applied to generate imagery. LoRAs may be supplied with a
-"trigger" word that they have been explicitly trained on, or may
-simply apply their effect without being triggered.
-
-LoRAs are typically stored in .safetensors files, which are the most
-secure way to store and transmit these types of weights. You may
-install any number of `.safetensors` LoRA files simply by copying them
-into the `autoimport/lora` directory of the corresponding InvokeAI models
-directory (usually `invokeai` in your home directory).
-
-To use these when generating, open the LoRA menu item in the options
-panel, select the LoRAs you want to apply and ensure that they have
-the appropriate weight recommended by the model provider. Typically,
-most LoRAs perform best at a weight of .75-1.

+With the advances in research, many new capabilities are available to customize the knowledge and understanding of novel concepts not originally contained in the base model.

+## LoRAs
+
+Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) files are models that customize the output of Stable Diffusion
+image generation.  Larger than embeddings, but much smaller than full
+models, they augment SD with improved understanding of subjects and
+artistic styles.
+
+Unlike TI files, LoRAs do not introduce novel vocabulary into the

+
+
+## LCM-LoRAs
+Latent Consistency Models (LCMs) allowed a reduced number of steps to be used to generate images with Stable Diffusion. These are created by distilling base models, creating models that only require a small number of steps to generate images. However, LCMs require that any fine-tune of a base model be distilled to be used as an LCM. 
+
+LCM-LoRAs are models that provide the benefit of LCMs but are able to be used as LoRAs and applied to any fine tune of a base model. LCM-LoRAs are created by training a small number of adapters, rather than distilling the entire fine-tuned base model. The resulting LoRA can be used the same way as a standard LoRA, but with a greatly reduced step count. This enables SDXL images to be generated up to 10x faster than without the use of LCM-LoRAs. 
+
+
+**Using LCM-LoRAs**
+
+LCM-LoRAs are natively supported in InvokeAI throughout the application. To get started, install any diffusers format LCM-LoRAs using the model manager and select it in the LoRA field.
+
+There are a number parameter differences when using LCM-LoRAs and standard generation: 
+
+- When using LCM-LoRAs, the LoRA strength should be lower than if using a standard LoRA, with 0.35 recommended as a starting point.  
+- The LCM scheduler should be used for generation
+- CFG-Scale should be reduced to ~1
+- Steps should be reduced in the range of 4-8
+
+Standard LoRAs can also be used alongside LCM-LoRAs, but will also require a lower strength, with 0.45 being recommended as a starting point.

 resulting model will combine characteristics of the original, and can
 be used to teach an old model new tricks.
 
+## How to Merge Models
+
+Model Merging can be be done by navigating to the Model Manager and clicking the "Merge Models" tab. From there, you can select the models and settings you want to use to merge th models. 
+
+## Settings
+
+* Model Selection: there are three multiple choice fields that
+  display all the diffusers-style models that InvokeAI knows about.
+  If you do not see the model you are looking for, then it is probably
+  a legacy checkpoint model and needs to be converted using the
+  "Convert" option in the Web-based Model Manager tab.
+  
+  You must select at least two models to merge. The third can be left
+  at "None" if you desire.
+
+* Alpha: This is the ratio to use when combining models. It ranges
+  from 0 to 1. The higher the value, the more weight is given to the
+  2d and (optionally) 3d models. So if you have two models named "A"
+  and "B", an alpha value of 0.25 will give you a merged model that is
+  25% A and 75% B.
+
+* Interpolation Method: This is the method used to combine
+  weights. The options are "weighted_sum" (the default), "sigmoid",
+  "inv_sigmoid" and "add_difference". Each produces slightly different
+  results. When three models are in use, only "add_difference" is
+  available.
+
+* Save Location: The location you want the merged model to be saved in. Default is in the InvokeAI root folder
+
+* Name for merged model: This is the name for the new model. Please
+  use InvokeAI conventions - only alphanumeric letters and the
+  characters ".+-".
+
+* Ignore Mismatches / Force: Not all models are compatible with each other. The merge
+  script will check for compatibility and refuse to merge ones that
+  are incompatible. Set this checkbox to try merging anyway.
+

+## Using Textual Inversion Files
+
+Textual inversion (TI) files are small models that customize the output of
+Stable Diffusion image generation. They can augment SD with specialized subjects
+and artistic styles. They are also known as "embeds" in the machine learning
+world.
+
+Each TI file introduces one or more vocabulary terms to the SD model. These are
+known in InvokeAI as "triggers." Triggers are denoted using angle brackets 
+as in "<trigger-phrase>". The two most common type of
+TI files that you'll encounter are `.pt` and `.bin` files, which are produced by
+different TI training packages. InvokeAI supports both formats, but its
+[built-in TI training system](TRAINING.md) produces `.pt`.
+
+[Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/sd-concepts-library) has
+amassed a large library of >800 community-contributed TI files covering a
+broad range of subjects and styles. You can also install your own or others' TI files 
+by placing them in the designated directory for the compatible model type
+
+### An Example
+
+Here are a few examples to illustrate how it works. All these images
+were generated using the legacy command-line client and the Stable
+Diffusion 1.5 model:
+
+|         Japanese gardener          | Japanese gardener <ghibli-face> | Japanese gardener <hoi4-leaders> | Japanese gardener <cartoona-animals> |

+
+You can also combine styles and concepts:
+
+<figure markdown>
+  | A portrait of &lt;alf&gt; in &lt;cartoona-animal&gt; style |
+  | :--------------------------------------------------------: |
+  | ![](../assets/concepts/image5.png)                         |
+</figure>
+
+
+## Installing your Own TI Files
+
+You may install any number of `.pt` and `.bin` files simply by copying them into
+the `embedding` directory of the corresponding InvokeAI models directory (usually `invokeai`
+in your home directory). For example, you can simply move a Stable Diffusion 1.5 embedding file to
+the `sd-1/embedding` folder. Be careful not to overwrite one file with another.
+For example, TI files generated by the Hugging Face toolkit share the named
+`learned_embedding.bin`. You can rename these, or use subdirectories to keep them distinct.
+
+At startup time, InvokeAI will scan the various `embedding` directories and load any TI
+files it finds there for compatible models. At startup you will see a message similar to this one:
+
+```bash
+>> Current embedding manager terms: <HOI4-Leader>, <princess-knight>
+```
+To use these when generating, simply type the `<` key in your prompt to open the Textual Inversion WebUI and 
+select the embedding you'd like to use. This UI has type-ahead support, so you can easily find supported embeddings.

+# Command-line Utilities
+
+InvokeAI comes with several scripts that are accessible via the
+command line. To access these commands, start the "developer's
+console" from the launcher (`invoke.bat` menu item [7]). Users who are
+familiar with Python can alternatively activate InvokeAI's virtual
+environment (typically, but not necessarily `invokeai/.venv`).
+
+In the developer's console, type the script's name to run it. To get a
+synopsis of what a utility does and the command-line arguments it
+accepts, pass it the `-h` argument, e.g.
+
+```bash
+invokeai-merge -h
+```
+## **invokeai-web**
+
+This script launches the web server and is effectively identical to
+selecting option [1] in the launcher. An advantage of launching the
+server from the command line is that you can override any setting
+configuration option in `invokeai.yaml` using like-named command-line
+arguments. For example, to temporarily change the size of the RAM
+cache to 7 GB, you can launch as follows:
+
+```bash
+invokeai-web --ram 7
+```
+
+## **invokeai-merge**
+
+This is the model merge script, the same as launcher option [3]. Call
+it with the `--gui` command-line argument to start the interactive
+console-based GUI. Alternatively, you can run it non-interactively
+using command-line arguments as illustrated in the example below which
+merges models named `stable-diffusion-1.5` and `inkdiffusion` into a new model named
+`my_new_model`:
+
+```bash
+invokeai-merge --force --base-model sd-1 --models stable-diffusion-1.5 inkdiffusion --merged_model_name my_new_model
+```
+
+## **invokeai-ti**
+
+This is the textual inversion training script that is run by launcher
+option [2]. Call it with `--gui` to run the interactive console-based
+front end. It can also be run non-interactively. It has about a
+zillion arguments, but a typical training session can be launched
+with:
+
+```bash
+invokeai-ti --model stable-diffusion-1.5 \
+            --placeholder_token 'jello' \
+            --learnable_property object \
+			--num_train_epochs 50 \
+			--train_data_dir /path/to/training/images \
+			--output_dir /path/to/trained/model
+```
+
+(Note that \\ is the Linux/Mac long-line continuation character. Use ^
+in Windows).
+
+## **invokeai-install**
+
+This is the console-based model install script that is run by launcher
+option [4]. If called without arguments, it will launch the
+interactive console-based interface. It can also be used
+non-interactively to list, add and remove models as shown by these
+examples:
+
+* This will download and install three models from CivitAI, HuggingFace,
+and local disk:
+
+```bash
+invokeai-install --add https://civitai.com/api/download/models/161302 ^
+                  gsdf/Counterfeit-V3.0  ^
+				  D:\Models\merge_model_two.safetensors
+```
+(Note that ^ is the Windows long-line continuation character. Use \\ on
+Linux/Mac).
+
+* This will list installed models of type `main`:
+
+```bash
+invokeai-model-install --list-models main
+```
+
+* This will delete the models named `voxel-ish` and `realisticVision`:
+
+```bash
+invokeai-model-install --delete voxel-ish realisticVision
+```
+
+## **invokeai-configure**
+
+This is the console-based configure script that ran when InvokeAI was
+first installed. You can run it again at any time to change the
+configuration, repair a broken install.
+
+Called without any arguments, `invokeai-configure` enters interactive
+mode with two screens. The first screen is a form that provides access
+to most of InvokeAI's configuration options. The second screen lets
+you download, add, and delete models interactively. When you exit the
+second screen, the script will add any missing "support models"
+needed for core functionality, and any selected "sd weights" which are
+the model checkpoint/diffusers files.
+
+This behavior can be changed via a series of command-line
+arguments. Here are some of the useful ones:
+
+* `invokeai-configure --skip-sd-weights --skip-support-models`
+This will run just the configuration part of the utility, skipping
+downloading of support models and stable diffusion weights.
+
+* `invokeai-configure --yes`
+This will run the configure script non-interactively. It will set the
+configuration options to their default values, install/repair support
+models, and download the "recommended" set of SD models.
+
+* `invokeai-configure --yes --default_only` 
+This will run the configure script non-interactively. In contrast to
+the previous command, it will only download the default SD model,
+Stable Diffusion v1.5
+
+* `invokeai-configure --yes --default_only --skip-sd-weights` 
+This is similar to the previous command, but will not download any
+SD models at all. It is usually used to repair a broken install.
+
+By default, `invokeai-configure` runs on the currently active InvokeAI
+root folder. To run it against a different root, pass it the `--root
+</path/to/root>` argument.
+
+Lastly, you can use `invokeai-configure` to create a working root
+directory entirely from scratch. Assuming you wish to make a root directory
+named `InvokeAI-New`, run this command:
+
+```bash
+invokeai-configure --root InvokeAI-New --yes --default_only
+```
+This will create a minimally functional root directory. You can now
+launch the web server against it with `invokeai-web --root InvokeAI-New`.
+
+## **invokeai-update**
+
+This is the interactive console-based script that is run by launcher
+menu item [8] to update to a new version of InvokeAI. It takes no
+command-line arguments.
+
+## **invokeai-metadata**
+
+This is a script which takes a list of InvokeAI-generated images and
+outputs their metadata in the same JSON format that you get from the
+`</>` button in the Web GUI. For example:
+
+```bash
+$ invokeai-metadata ffe2a115-b492-493c-afff-7679aa034b50.png

+## **invokeai-import-images**
+
+InvokeAI uses a database to store information about images it
+generated, and just copying the image files from one InvokeAI root
+directory to another does not automatically import those images into
+the destination's gallery. This script allows you to bulk import
+images generated by one instance of InvokeAI into a gallery maintained

+## **invokeai-db-maintenance**
+
+This script helps maintain the integrity of your InvokeAI database by
+finding and fixing three problems that can arise over time:
+
+1. An image was manually deleted from the outputs directory, leaving a
+   dangling image record in the InvokeAI database. This will cause a
+   black image to appear in the gallery. This is an "orphaned database
+   image record." The script can fix this by running a "clean"
+   operation on the database, removing the orphaned entries.
+   
+2. An image is present in the outputs directory but there is no
+   corresponding entry in the database. This can happen when the image
+   is added manually to the outputs directory, or if a crash occurred
+   after the image was generated but before the database was
+   completely updated. The symptom is that the image is present in the
+   outputs folder but doesn't appear in the InvokeAI gallery. This is
+   called an "orphaned image file." The script can fix this problem by
+   running an "archive" operation in which orphaned files are moved
+   into a directory named `outputs/images-archive`. If you wish, you
+   can then run `invokeai-image-import` to reimport these images back
+   into the database.
+   
+3. The thumbnail for an image is missing, again causing a black
+   gallery thumbnail. This is fixed by running the "thumbnaiils"
+   operation, which simply regenerates and re-registers the missing
+   thumbnail.
+   
+You can find and fix all three of these problems in a single go by
+executing this command:
+
+```bash
+invokeai-db-maintenance --operation all
+```
+
+Or you can run just the clean and thumbnail operations like this:
+
+```bash
+invokeai-db-maintenance -operation clean, thumbnail
+```
+
+If called without any arguments, the script will ask you which
+operations you wish to perform.
+
+## **invokeai-migrate3**
+
+This script will migrate settings and models (but not images!) from an
+InvokeAI v2.3 root folder to an InvokeAI 3.X folder. Call it with the
+source and destination root folders like this:
+
+```bash
+invokeai-migrate3 --from ~/invokeai-2.3 --to invokeai-3.1.1
+```
+
+Both directories must previously have been properly created and
+initialized by `invokeai-configure`. If you wish to migrate the images
+contained in the older root as well, you can use the
+`invokeai-image-migrate` script described earlier.

-title: Variations
----
-
-# :material-tune-variant: Variations
-
-## Intro
-
-InvokeAI's support for variations enables you to do the following:
-
-1. Generate a series of systematic variations of an image, given a prompt. The
-   amount of variation from one image to the next can be controlled.
-
-2. Given two or more variations that you like, you can combine them in a
-   weighted fashion.
-
-!!! Information ""
-
-    This cheat sheet provides a quick guide for how this works in practice, using
-    variations to create the desired image of Xena, Warrior Princess.
-
-## Step 1 -- Find a base image that you like
-
-The prompt we will use throughout is:
-
-`#!bash "lucy lawless as xena, warrior princess, character portrait, high resolution."`
-
-This will be indicated as `#!bash "prompt"` in the examples below.
-
-First we let SD create a series of images in the usual way, in this case
-requesting six iterations.
-
-<figure markdown>
-![var1](../assets/variation_walkthru/000001.3357757885.png)
-<figcaption> Seed 3357757885 looks nice </figcaption>
-</figure>
-
----
-
-## Step 2 - Generating Variations
-
-Let's try to generate some variations on this image. We select the "*"
-symbol in the line of icons above the image in order to fix the prompt
-and seed. Then we open up the "Variations" section of the generation
-panel and use the slider to set the variation amount to 0.2. The
-higher this value, the more each generated image will differ from the
-previous one.
-
-Now we run the prompt a second time, requesting six iterations. You
-will see six images that are thematically related to each other. Try
-increasing and decreasing the variation amount and see what happens.
-
-### **Variation Sub Seeding**
-
-Note that the output for each image has a `-V` option giving the "variant
-subseed" for that image, consisting of a seed followed by the variation amount
-used to generate it.
-
-This gives us a series of closely-related variations, including the two shown
-here.
-
-<figure markdown>
-![var2](../assets/variation_walkthru/000002.3647897225.png)
-<figcaption>subseed 3647897225</figcaption>
-</figure>
-
-<figure markdown>
-![var3](../assets/variation_walkthru/000002.1614299449.png)
-<figcaption>subseed 1614299449</figcaption>
-</figure>
-
-I like the expression on Xena's face in the first one (subseed 3647897225), and
-the armor on her shoulder in the second one (subseed 1614299449). Can we combine
-them to get the best of both worlds?
-
-We combine the two variations using `-V` (`--with_variations`). Again, we must
-provide the seed for the originally-chosen image in order for this to work.
-
-```bash
-invoke> "prompt"  -S3357757885 -V3647897225,0.1,1614299449,0.1
-Outputs:
-./outputs/Xena/000003.1614299449.png: "prompt" -s50 -W512 -H512 -C7.5 -Ak_lms -V 3647897225:0.1,1614299449:0.1 -S3357757885
-```
-
-Here we are providing equal weights (0.1 and 0.1) for both the subseeds. The
-resulting image is close, but not exactly what I wanted:
-
-<figure markdown>
-![var4](../assets/variation_walkthru/000003.1614299449.png)
-<figcaption> subseed 1614299449 </figcaption>
-</figure>
-
-We could either try combining the images with different weights, or we can
-generate more variations around the almost-but-not-quite image. We do the
-latter, using both the `-V` (combining) and `-v` (variation strength) options.
-Note that we use `-n6` to generate 6 variations:
-
-```bash
-invoke> "prompt" -S3357757885 -V3647897225,0.1,1614299449,0.1 -v0.05 -n6
-Outputs:

-```
-
-This produces six images, all slight variations on the combination of the chosen
-two images. Here's the one I like best:
-

-<figcaption> subseed 3747154981 </figcaption>
-</figure>
-
-As you can see, this is a very powerful tool, which when combined with subprompt
-weighting, gives you great control over the content and quality of your
-generated images.
-
-## Variations and Samplers
-
-The sampler you choose has a strong effect on variation strength. Some
-samplers, such as `k_euler_a` are very "creative" and produce significant
-amounts of image-to-image variation even when the seed is fixed and the
-`-v` argument is very low. Others are more deterministic. Feel free to
-experiment until you find the combination that you like.
-
-Also be aware of the [Perlin Noise](OTHER.md#thresholding-and-perlin-noise-initialization-options)
-feature, which provides another way of introducing variability into your
-image generation requests.

+# FAQs
+
+**Where do I get started? How can I install Invoke?**
+
+- You can download the latest installers [here](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases) - Note that any releases marked as *pre-release* are in a beta state. You may experience some issues, but we appreciate your help testing those! For stable/reliable installations, please install the **[Latest Release](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/latest)**
+
+**How can I download models? Can I use models I already have downloaded?**
+
+- Models can be downloaded through the model manager, or through option [4] in the invoke.bat/invoke.sh launcher script. To download a model through the Model Manager, use the HuggingFace Repo ID by pressing the “Copy” button next to the repository name. Alternatively, to download a model from CivitAi, use the download link in the Model Manager.
+- Models that are already downloaded can be used by creating a symlink to the model location in the `autoimport` folder or by using the Model Manger’s “Scan for Models” function.
+
+**My images are taking a long time to generate. How can I speed up generation?** 
+
+- A common solution is to reduce the size of your RAM & VRAM cache to 0.25. This ensures your system has enough memory to generate images.
+- Additionally, check the [hardware requirements](https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/#hardware-requirements) to ensure that your system is capable of generating images.
+- Lastly, double check your generations are happening on your GPU (if you have one). InvokeAI will log what is being used for generation upon startup. 
+
+**I’ve installed Python on Windows but the installer says it can’t find it?**
+
+- Then ensure that you checked  **'Add python.exe to PATH'** when installing Python. This can be found at the bottom of the Python Installer window. If you already have Python installed, this can be done with the modify / repair feature of the installer.
+
+**I’ve installed everything successfully but I still get an error about Triton when starting Invoke?**
+
+- This can be safely ignored. InvokeAI doesn't use Triton, but if you are on Linux and wish to dismiss the error, you can install Triton.
+
+**I updated to 3.4.0 and now xFormers can’t load C++/CUDA?**
+
+- An issue occurred with your PyTorch update. Follow these steps to fix :
+    1. Launch your invoke.bat / invoke.sh and select the option to open the developer console
+    2. Run:`pip install ".[xformers]" --upgrade --force-reinstall --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121`
+    - If you run into an error with `typing_extensions`, re-open the developer console and run:  `pip install -U typing-extensions`
+
+**It says my pip is out of date - is that why my install isn't working?**
+- An out of date won't cause an installation to fail. The cause of the error can likely be found above the message that says pip is out of date.
+- If you saw that warning but the install went well, don't worry about it (but you can update pip afterwards if you'd like).   
+
+**How can I generate the exact same that I found on the internet?**
+Most example images with prompts that you'll find on the internet have been generated using different software, so you can't expect to get identical results. In order to reproduce an image, you need to replicate the exact settings and processing steps, including (but not limited to) the model, the positive and negative prompts, the seed, the sampler, the exact image size, any upscaling steps, etc.

+**Where can I get more help?**

-## :octicons-log-16: Important Changes Since Version 2.3
-
-### Nodes
-
-Behind the scenes, InvokeAI has been completely rewritten to support
-"nodes," small unitary operations that can be combined into graphs to
-form arbitrary workflows. For example, there is a prompt node that
-processes the prompt string and feeds it to a text2latent node that
-generates a latent image. The latents are then fed to a latent2image
-node that translates the latent image into a PNG.
-
-The WebGUI has a node editor that allows you to graphically design and
-execute custom node graphs. The ability to save and load graphs is
-still a work in progress, but coming soon.
-
-### Command-Line Interface Retired
-
-The original "invokeai" command-line interface has been retired. The
-`invokeai` command will now launch a new command-line client that can
-be used by developers to create and test nodes. It is not intended to
-be used for routine image generation or manipulation.
-
-To launch the Web GUI from the command-line, use the command
-`invokeai-web` rather than the traditional `invokeai --web`.
-
-### ControlNet
-
-This version of InvokeAI features ControlNet, a system that allows you
-to achieve exact poses for human and animal figures by providing a
-model to follow. Full details are found in [ControlNet](features/CONTROLNET.md)
-
-### New Schedulers
-
-The list of schedulers has been completely revamped and brought up to date:
-

 #### Build the Image
 
-I provided a build script, which is located next to the Dockerfile in
-`docker/build.sh`. It can be executed from repository root like this:
+Use the standard `docker compose build` command from within the `docker` directory.
 
-```bash
-./docker/build.sh
-```
-
-The build Script not only builds the container, but also creates the docker
-volume if not existing yet.
+If using an AMD GPU:
+    a: set the `GPU_DRIVER=rocm` environment variable in `docker-compose.yml` and continue using `docker compose build` as usual, or
+    b: set `GPU_DRIVER=rocm` in the `.env` file and use the `build.sh` script, provided for convenience
 
 #### Run the Container
 
-After the build process is done, you can run the container via the provided
-`docker/run.sh` script
+Use the standard `docker compose up` command, and generally the `docker compose` [CLI](https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/) as usual.
 
-```bash
-./docker/run.sh
-```
+Once the container starts up (and configures the InvokeAI root directory if this is a new installation), you can access InvokeAI at [http://localhost:9090](http://localhost:9090)
 
-When used without arguments, the container will start the webserver and provide
-you the link to open it. But if you want to use some other parameters you can

-## Running the container on your GPU
-
-If you have an Nvidia GPU, you can enable InvokeAI to run on the GPU by running
-the container with an extra environment variable to enable GPU usage and have
-the process run much faster:
-
-```bash
-GPU_FLAGS=all ./docker/run.sh
-```
-
-This passes the `--gpus all` to docker and uses the GPU.
-
-If you don't have a GPU (or your host is not yet setup to use it) you will see a
-message like this:
-
-`docker: Error response from daemon: could not select device driver "" with capabilities: [[gpu]].`
-
-You can use the full set of GPU combinations documented here:
-
-https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/resource_constraints/#gpu
-
-For example, use `GPU_FLAGS=device=GPU-3a23c669-1f69-c64e-cf85-44e9b07e7a2a` to
-choose a specific device identified by a UUID.

-
-## Usage (time to have fun)
-
-### Startup
-
-If you're on a **Linux container** the `invoke` script is **automatically
-started** and the output dir set to the Docker volume you created earlier.
-
-If you're **directly on macOS follow these startup instructions**. With the
-Conda environment activated (`conda activate ldm`), run the interactive
-interface that combines the functionality of the original scripts `txt2img` and
-`img2img`: Use the more accurate but VRAM-intensive full precision math because
-half-precision requires autocast and won't work. By default the images are saved
-in `outputs/img-samples/`.
-
-```Shell
-python3 scripts/invoke.py --full_precision
-```
-
-You'll get the script's prompt. You can see available options or quit.
-
-```Shell
-invoke> -h
-invoke> q
-```
-
-### Text to Image
-
-For quick (but bad) image results test with 5 steps (default 50) and 1 sample
-image. This will let you know that everything is set up correctly. Then increase
-steps to 100 or more for good (but slower) results. The prompt can be in quotes
-or not.
-
-```Shell
-invoke> The hulk fighting with sheldon cooper -s5 -n1
-invoke> "woman closeup highly detailed"  -s 150
-# Reuse previous seed and apply face restoration
-invoke> "woman closeup highly detailed"  --steps 150 --seed -1 -G 0.75
-```
-
-You'll need to experiment to see if face restoration is making it better or
-worse for your specific prompt.
-
-If you're on a container the output is set to the Docker volume. You can copy it
-wherever you want. You can download it from the Docker Desktop app, Volumes,
-my-vol, data. Or you can copy it from your Mac terminal. Keep in mind
-`docker cp` can't expand `*.png` so you'll need to specify the image file name.
-
-On your host Mac (you can use the name of any container that mounted the
-volume):
-
-```Shell
-docker cp dummy:/data/000001.928403745.png /Users/<your-user>/Pictures
-```
-
-### Image to Image
-
-You can also do text-guided image-to-image translation. For example, turning a
-sketch into a detailed drawing.
-
-`strength` is a value between 0.0 and 1.0 that controls the amount of noise that
-is added to the input image. Values that approach 1.0 allow for lots of
-variations but will also produce images that are not semantically consistent
-with the input. 0.0 preserves image exactly, 1.0 replaces it completely.
-
-Make sure your input image size dimensions are multiples of 64 e.g. 512x512.
-Otherwise you'll get `Error: product of dimension sizes > 2**31'`. If you still
-get the error
-[try a different size](https://support.apple.com/guide/preview/resize-rotate-or-flip-an-image-prvw2015/mac#:~:text=image's%20file%20size-,In%20the%20Preview%20app%20on%20your%20Mac%2C%20open%20the%20file,is%20shown%20at%20the%20bottom.)
-like 512x256.
-
-If you're on a Docker container, copy your input image into the Docker volume
-
-```Shell
-docker cp /Users/<your-user>/Pictures/sketch-mountains-input.jpg dummy:/data/
-```
-
-Try it out generating an image (or more). The `invoke` script needs absolute
-paths to find the image so don't use `~`.
-
-If you're on your Mac
-
-```Shell
-invoke> "A fantasy landscape, trending on artstation" -I /Users/<your-user>/Pictures/sketch-mountains-input.jpg --strength 0.75  --steps 100 -n4
-```
-
-If you're on a Linux container on your Mac
-
-```Shell
-invoke> "A fantasy landscape, trending on artstation" -I /data/sketch-mountains-input.jpg --strength 0.75  --steps 50 -n1
-```
-
-### Web Interface
-
-You can use the `invoke` script with a graphical web interface. Start the web
-server with:
-
-```Shell
-python3 scripts/invoke.py --full_precision --web
-```
-
-If it's running on your Mac point your Mac web browser to
-<http://127.0.0.1:9090>
-
-Press Control-C at the command line to stop the web server.
-
-### Notes
-
-Some text you can add at the end of the prompt to make it very pretty:
-
-```Shell
-cinematic photo, highly detailed, cinematic lighting, ultra-detailed, ultrarealistic, photorealism, Octane Rendering, cyberpunk lights, Hyper Detail, 8K, HD, Unreal Engine, V-Ray, full hd, cyberpunk, abstract, 3d octane render + 4k UHD + immense detail + dramatic lighting + well lit + black, purple, blue, pink, cerulean, teal, metallic colours, + fine details, ultra photoreal, photographic, concept art, cinematic composition, rule of thirds, mysterious, eerie, photorealism, breathtaking detailed, painting art deco pattern, by hsiao, ron cheng, john james audubon, bizarre compositions, exquisite detail, extremely moody lighting, painted by greg rutkowski makoto shinkai takashi takeuchi studio ghibli, akihiko yoshida
-```
-
-The original scripts should work as well.
-
-```Shell
-python3 scripts/orig_scripts/txt2img.py --help
-python3 scripts/orig_scripts/txt2img.py --ddim_steps 100 --n_iter 1 --n_samples 1  --plms --prompt "new born baby kitten. Hyper Detail, Octane Rendering, Unreal Engine, V-Ray"

Nodes take in inputs on the left side of the node, and return an output on the right side of the node. A node graph is composed of multiple nodes that are connected together to create a workflow. Nodes' inputs and outputs are connected by dragging connectors from node to node. Inputs and outputs are color coded for ease of use.
 
-To better understand how nodes are used, think of how an electric power bar works. It takes in one input (electricity from a wall outlet) and passes it to multiple devices through multiple outputs. Similarly, a node could have multiple inputs and outputs functioning at the same (or different) time, but all node outputs pass information onward like a power bar passes electricity. Not all outputs are compatible with all inputs, however - Each node has different constraints on how it is expecting to input/output information. In general, node outputs are colour-coded to match compatible inputs of other nodes.

+## Features
+
+### Workflow Library
+The Workflow Library enables you to save workflows to the Invoke database, allowing you to easily creating, modify and share workflows as needed. 
+
+A curated set of workflows are provided by default - these are designed to help explain important nodes' usage in the Workflow Editor.
+
+![workflow_library](../assets/nodes/workflow_library.png)
+
+### Linear View
+The Workflow Editor allows you to create a UI for your workflow, to make it easier to iterate on your generations. 
+
+To add an input to the Linear UI, right click on the **input label** and select "Add to Linear View".
+
+The Linear UI View will also be part of the saved workflow, allowing you share workflows and enable other to use them, regardless of complexity. 
+
+![linearview](../assets/nodes/linearview.png)
+
+### Renaming Fields and Nodes
+Any node or input field can be renamed in the workflow editor. If the input field you have renamed has been added to the Linear View, the changed name will be reflected in the Linear View and the node. 
+
+### Managing Nodes
+
+* Ctrl+C to copy a node
+* Ctrl+V to paste a node
+* Backspace/Delete to delete a node
+* Shift+Click to drag and select multiple nodes 
+
+### Node Caching 
+
+Nodes have a "Use Cache" option in their footer. This allows for performance improvements by using the previously cached values during the workflow processing.

-## Important Concepts
+## Important Nodes & Concepts 
 
 There are several node grouping concepts that can be examined with a narrow focus. These (and other) groupings can be pieced together to make up functional graph setups, and are important to understanding how groups of nodes work together as part of a whole. Note that the screenshots below aren't examples of complete functioning node graphs (see Examples).

 It is common to want to use both the same seed (for continuity) and random seeds (for variety). To define a seed, simply enter it into the 'Seed' field on a noise node. Conversely, the RandomInt node generates a random integer between 'Low' and 'High', and can be used as input to the 'Seed' edge point on a noise node to randomize your seed.

+# Invoke v4.0.0 Nodes API Migration guide
+
+Invoke v4.0.0 is versioned as such due to breaking changes to the API utilized
+by nodes, both core and custom.
+
+## Motivation
+
+Prior to v4.0.0, the `invokeai` python package has not be set up to be utilized
+as a library. That is to say, it didn't have any explicitly public API, and node
+authors had to work with the unstable internal application API.
+
+v4.0.0 introduces a stable public API for nodes.
+
+## Changes
+
+There are two node-author-facing changes:
+
+1. Import Paths
+1. Invocation Context API
+
+### Import Paths
+
+All public objects are now exported from `invokeai.invocation_api`:
+
+```py
+# Old
+from invokeai.app.invocations.baseinvocation import (
+    BaseInvocation,
+    InputField,
+    InvocationContext,
+    invocation,
+)
+from invokeai.app.invocations.primitives import ImageField
+
+# New
+from invokeai.invocation_api import (
+    BaseInvocation,
+    ImageField,
+    InputField,
+    InvocationContext,
+    invocation,
+)
+```
+
+It's possible that we've missed some classes you need in your node. Please let
+us know if that's the case.
+
+### Invocation Context API
+
+Most nodes utilize the Invocation Context, an object that is passed to the
+`invoke` that provides access to data and services a node may need.
+
+Until now, that object and the services it exposed were internal. Exposing them
+to nodes means that changes to our internal implementation could break nodes.
+The methods on the services are also often fairly complicated and allowed nodes
+to footgun.
+
+In v4.0.0, this object has been refactored to be much simpler.
+
+See [INVOCATION_API](./INVOCATION_API.md) for full details of the API.
+
+!!! warning ""
+
+    This API may shift slightly until the release of v4.0.0 as we work through a few final updates to the Model Manager.
+
+#### Improved Service Methods
+
+The biggest offender was the image save method:
+
+```py
+# Old
+image_dto = context.services.images.create(
+    image=image,
+    image_origin=ResourceOrigin.INTERNAL,
+    image_category=ImageCategory.GENERAL,
+    node_id=self.id,
+    session_id=context.graph_execution_state_id,
+    is_intermediate=self.is_intermediate,
+    metadata=self.metadata,
+    workflow=context.workflow,
+)
+
+# New
+image_dto = context.images.save(image=image)
+```
+
+Other methods are simplified, or enhanced with additional functionality:
+
+```py
+# Old
+image = context.services.images.get_pil_image(image_name)
+
+# New
+image = context.images.get_pil(image_name)
+image_cmyk = context.images.get_pil(image_name, "CMYK")
+```
+
+We also had some typing issues around tensors:
+
+```py
+# Old
+# `latents` typed as `torch.Tensor`, but could be `ConditioningFieldData`
+latents = context.services.latents.get(self.latents.latents_name)
+# `data` typed as `torch.Tenssor,` but could be `ConditioningFieldData`
+context.services.latents.save(latents_name, data)
+
+# New - separate methods for tensors and conditioning data w/ correct typing
+# Also, the service generates the names
+tensor_name = context.tensors.save(tensor)
+tensor = context.tensors.load(tensor_name)
+# For conditioning
+cond_name = context.conditioning.save(cond_data)
+cond_data = context.conditioning.load(cond_name)
+```
+
+#### Output Construction
+
+Core Outputs have builder functions right on them - no need to manually
+construct these objects, or use an extra utility:
+
+```py
+# Old
+image_output = ImageOutput(
+    image=ImageField(image_name=image_dto.image_name),
+    width=image_dto.width,
+    height=image_dto.height,
+)
+latents_output = build_latents_output(latents_name=name, latents=latents, seed=None)
+noise_output = NoiseOutput(
+    noise=LatentsField(latents_name=latents_name, seed=seed),
+    width=latents.size()[3] * 8,
+    height=latents.size()[2] * 8,
+)
+cond_output = ConditioningOutput(
+    conditioning=ConditioningField(
+        conditioning_name=conditioning_name,
+    ),
+)
+
+# New
+image_output = ImageOutput.build(image_dto)
+latents_output = LatentsOutput.build(latents_name=name, latents=noise, seed=self.seed)
+noise_output = NoiseOutput.build(latents_name=name, latents=noise, seed=self.seed)
+cond_output = ConditioningOutput.build(conditioning_name)
+```
+
+You can still create the objects using constructors if you want, but we suggest
+using the builder methods.

-### FaceTools
+To use a community workflow, download the the `.json` node graph file and load it into Invoke AI via the **Load Workflow** button in the Workflow Editor. 
 
-**Description:** FaceTools is a collection of nodes created to manipulate faces as you would in Unified Canvas. It includes FaceMask, FaceOff, and FacePlace. FaceMask autodetects a face in the image using MediaPipe and creates a mask from it. FaceOff similarly detects a face, then takes the face off of the image by adding a square bounding box around it and cropping/scaling it. FacePlace puts the bounded face image from FaceOff back onto the original image. Using these nodes with other inpainting node(s), you can put new faces on existing things, put new things around existing faces, and work closer with a face as a bounded image. Additionally, you can supply X and Y offset values to scale/change the shape of the mask for finer control on FaceMask and FaceOff. See GitHub repository below for usage examples.

+### Image and Mask Composition Pack
+
+**Description:** This is a pack of nodes for composing masks and images, including a simple text mask creator and both image and latent offset nodes. The offsets wrap around, so these can be used in conjunction with the Seamless node to progressively generate centered on different parts of the seamless tiling.
+
+This includes 15 Nodes:
+
+- *Adjust Image Hue Plus* - Rotate the hue of an image in one of several different color spaces.
+- *Blend Latents/Noise (Masked)* - Use a mask to blend part of one latents tensor [including Noise outputs] into another. Can be used to "renoise" sections during a multi-stage [masked] denoising process.
+- *Enhance Image* - Boost or reduce color saturation, contrast, brightness, sharpness, or invert colors of any image at any stage with this simple wrapper for pillow [PIL]'s ImageEnhance module.
+- *Equivalent Achromatic Lightness* - Calculates image lightness accounting for Helmholtz-Kohlrausch effect based on a method described by High, Green, and Nussbaum (2023).
+- *Text to Mask (Clipseg)* - Input a prompt and an image to generate a mask representing areas of the image matched by the prompt.
+- *Text to Mask Advanced (Clipseg)* - Output up to four prompt masks combined with logical "and", logical "or", or as separate channels of an RGBA image.
+- *Image Layer Blend* - Perform a layered blend of two images using alpha compositing. Opacity of top layer is selectable, with optional mask and several different blend modes/color spaces.

 "The mystical creature I am describing to you is called the "Glimmerwing". It is a majestic, iridescent being that inhabits the depths of the most enchanted forests and glimmering lakes. Its body is covered in shimmering scales that reflect every color of the rainbow, and it has delicate, translucent wings that sparkle like diamonds in the sunlight. The Glimmerwing's home is a crystal-clear lake, surrounded by towering trees with leaves that shimmer like jewels. In this serene environment, the Glimmerwing spends its days swimming gracefully through the water, chasing schools of glittering fish and playing with the gentle ripples of the lake's surface.
 As the sun sets, the Glimmerwing perches on a branch of one of the trees, spreading its wings to catch the last rays of light. The creature's scales glow softly, casting a rainbow of colors across the forest floor. The Glimmerwing sings a haunting melody, its voice echoing through the stillness of the night air.

+**Description:** A set of InvokeAI nodes that add general prompt (string) manipulation tools.  Designed to accompany the `Prompts From File` node and other prompt generation nodes.
 
-To be imported, an .obj must use triangulated meshes, so make sure to enable that option if exporting from a 3D modeling program. This renderer makes each triangle a solid color based on its average depth, so it will cause anomalies if your .obj has large triangles. In Blender, the Remesh modifier can be helpful to subdivide a mesh into small pieces that work well given these limitations.
