+Copyright (c) 2023 Stability AI
+CreativeML Open RAIL++-M License dated July 26, 2023
+
+Section I: PREAMBLE
+
+Multimodal generative models are being widely adopted and used, and
+have the potential to transform the way artists, among other
+individuals, conceive and benefit from AI or ML technologies as a tool
+for content creation.
+
+Notwithstanding the current and potential benefits that these
+artifacts can bring to society at large, there are also concerns about
+potential misuses of them, either due to their technical limitations
+or ethical considerations.
+
+In short, this license strives for both the open and responsible
+downstream use of the accompanying model. When it comes to the open
+character, we took inspiration from open source permissive licenses
+regarding the grant of IP rights. Referring to the downstream
+responsible use, we added use-based restrictions not permitting the
+use of the model in very specific scenarios, in order for the licensor
+to be able to enforce the license in case potential misuses of the
+Model may occur. At the same time, we strive to promote open and
+responsible research on generative models for art and content
+generation.
+
+Even though downstream derivative versions of the model could be
+released under different licensing terms, the latter will always have
+to include - at minimum - the same use-based restrictions as the ones
+in the original license (this license). We believe in the intersection
+between open and responsible AI development; thus, this agreement aims
+to strike a balance between both in order to enable responsible
+open-science in the field of AI.
+
+This CreativeML Open RAIL++-M License governs the use of the model
+(and its derivatives) and is informed by the model card associated
+with the model.
+
+NOW THEREFORE, You and Licensor agree as follows:
+
+Definitions
+
+"License" means the terms and conditions for use, reproduction, and
+Distribution as defined in this document.
+
+"Data" means a collection of information and/or content extracted from
+the dataset used with the Model, including to train, pretrain, or
+otherwise evaluate the Model. The Data is not licensed under this
+License.
+
+"Output" means the results of operating a Model as embodied in
+informational content resulting therefrom.
+
+"Model" means any accompanying machine-learning based assemblies
+(including checkpoints), consisting of learnt weights, parameters
+(including optimizer states), corresponding to the model architecture
+as embodied in the Complementary Material, that have been trained or
+tuned, in whole or in part on the Data, using the Complementary
+Material.
+
+"Derivatives of the Model" means all modifications to the Model, works
+based on the Model, or any other model which is created or initialized
+by transfer of patterns of the weights, parameters, activations or
+output of the Model, to the other model, in order to cause the other
+model to perform similarly to the Model, including - but not limited
+to - distillation methods entailing the use of intermediate data
+representations or methods based on the generation of synthetic data
+by the Model for training the other model.
+
+"Complementary Material" means the accompanying source code and
+scripts used to define, run, load, benchmark or evaluate the Model,
+and used to prepare data for training or evaluation, if any. This
+includes any accompanying documentation, tutorials, examples, etc, if
+any.
+
+"Distribution" means any transmission, reproduction, publication or
+other sharing of the Model or Derivatives of the Model to a third
+party, including providing the Model as a hosted service made
+available by electronic or other remote means - e.g. API-based or web
+access.
+
+"Licensor" means the copyright owner or entity authorized by the
+copyright owner that is granting the License, including the persons or
+entities that may have rights in the Model and/or distributing the
+Model.
+
+"You" (or "Your") means an individual or Legal Entity exercising
+permissions granted by this License and/or making use of the Model for
+whichever purpose and in any field of use, including usage of the
+Model in an end-use application - e.g. chatbot, translator, image
+generator.
+
+"Third Parties" means individuals or legal entities that are not under
+common control with Licensor or You.
+
+"Contribution" means any work of authorship, including the original
+version of the Model and any modifications or additions to that Model
+or Derivatives of the Model thereof, that is intentionally submitted
+to Licensor for inclusion in the Model by the copyright owner or by an
+individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of the
+copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to
+the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control
+systems, and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf
+of, the Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the
+Model, but excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or
+otherwise designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a
+Contribution."
+
+"Contributor" means Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity on
+behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+subsequently incorporated within the Model.
+
+Section II: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
+
+Both copyright and patent grants apply to the Model, Derivatives of
+the Model and Complementary Material. The Model and Derivatives of the
+Model are subject to additional terms as described in
+
+Section III.
+
+Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+copyright license to reproduce, prepare, publicly display, publicly
+perform, sublicense, and distribute the Complementary Material, the
+Model, and Derivatives of the Model.
+
+Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
+License and where and as applicable, each Contributor hereby grants to
+You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free,
+irrevocable (except as stated in this paragraph) patent license to
+make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise
+transfer the Model and the Complementary Material, where such license
+applies only to those patent claims licensable by such Contributor
+that are necessarily infringed by their Contribution(s) alone or by
+combination of their Contribution(s) with the Model to which such
+Contribution(s) was submitted. If You institute patent litigation
+against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a
+lawsuit) alleging that the Model and/or Complementary Material or a
+Contribution incorporated within the Model and/or Complementary
+Material constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then
+any patent licenses granted to You under this License for the Model
+and/or Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is asserted
+or filed.
+
+Section III: CONDITIONS OF USAGE, DISTRIBUTION AND REDISTRIBUTION
+
+Distribution and Redistribution. You may host for Third Party remote
+access purposes (e.g. software-as-a-service), reproduce and distribute
+copies of the Model or Derivatives of the Model thereof in any medium,
+with or without modifications, provided that You meet the following
+conditions: Use-based restrictions as referenced in paragraph 5 MUST
+be included as an enforceable provision by You in any type of legal
+agreement (e.g. a license) governing the use and/or distribution of
+the Model or Derivatives of the Model, and You shall give notice to
+subsequent users You Distribute to, that the Model or Derivatives of
+the Model are subject to paragraph 5. This provision does not apply to
+the use of Complementary Material. You must give any Third Party
+recipients of the Model or Derivatives of the Model a copy of this
+License; You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+stating that You changed the files; You must retain all copyright,
+patent, trademark, and attribution notices excluding those notices
+that do not pertain to any part of the Model, Derivatives of the
+Model. You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications
+and may provide additional or different license terms and conditions -
+respecting paragraph 4.a. - for use, reproduction, or Distribution of
+Your modifications, or for any such Derivatives of the Model as a
+whole, provided Your use, reproduction, and Distribution of the Model
+otherwise complies with the conditions stated in this License.
+
+Use-based restrictions. The restrictions set forth in Attachment A are
+considered Use-based restrictions. Therefore You cannot use the Model
+and the Derivatives of the Model for the specified restricted
+uses. You may use the Model subject to this License, including only
+for lawful purposes and in accordance with the License. Use may
+include creating any content with, finetuning, updating, running,
+training, evaluating and/or reparametrizing the Model. You shall
+require all of Your users who use the Model or a Derivative of the
+Model to comply with the terms of this paragraph (paragraph 5).
+
+The Output You Generate.  Except as set forth herein, Licensor claims
+no rights in the Output You generate using the Model. You are
+accountable for the Output you generate and its subsequent uses. No
+use of the output can contravene any provision as stated in the
+License.
+
+Section IV: OTHER PROVISIONS
+
+Updates and Runtime Restrictions. To the maximum extent permitted by
+law, Licensor reserves the right to restrict (remotely or otherwise)
+usage of the Model in violation of this License.
+
+Trademarks and related. Nothing in this License permits You to make
+use of Licensors’ trademarks, trade names, logos or to otherwise
+suggest endorsement or misrepresent the relationship between the
+parties; and any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by
+the Licensors.
+
+Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or agreed to
+in writing, Licensor provides the Model and the Complementary Material
+(and each Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+appropriateness of using or redistributing the Model, Derivatives of
+the Model, and the Complementary Material and assume any risks
+associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, unless
+required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly negligent
+acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be liable to You
+for damages, including any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or
+consequential damages of any character arising as a result of this
+License or out of the use or inability to use the Model and the
+Complementary Material (including but not limited to damages for loss
+of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any
+and all other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing the
+Model, Derivatives of the Model and the Complementary Material
+thereof, You may choose to offer, and charge a fee for, acceptance of
+support, warranty, indemnity, or other liability obligations and/or
+rights consistent with this License. However, in accepting such
+obligations, You may act only on Your own behalf and on Your sole
+responsibility, not on behalf of any other Contributor, and only if
+You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for
+any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against, such
+Contributor by reason of your accepting any such warranty or
+additional liability.
+
+If any provision of this License is held to be invalid, illegal or
+unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be unaffected thereby
+and remain valid as if such provision had not been set forth herein.
+
+
+END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+Attachment A
+
+Use Restrictions
+
+You agree not to use the Model or Derivatives of the Model:
+
+* In any way that violates any applicable national, federal, state,

+2. Install the `docker compose` plugin using your package manager, or follow a [tutorial](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/linux/#install-using-the-repository).
+    - The deprecated `docker-compose` (hyphenated) CLI continues to work for now.
+3. Ensure docker daemon is able to access the GPU.
+    - You may need to install [nvidia-container-toolkit](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html)
+
+#### macOS
+
+1. Ensure Docker has at least 16GB RAM
+2. Enable VirtioFS for file sharing
+3. Enable `docker compose` V2 support
+
+This is done via Docker Desktop preferences
+
+## Quickstart
+
+1. Make a copy of `env.sample` and name it `.env` (`cp env.sample .env` (Mac/Linux) or `copy example.env .env` (Windows)). Make changes as necessary. Set `INVOKEAI_ROOT` to an absolute path to:
+    a. the desired location of the InvokeAI runtime directory, or
+    b. an existing, v3.0.0 compatible runtime directory.
+1. `docker compose up`
+
+The image will be built automatically if needed.
+
+The runtime directory (holding models and outputs) will be created in the location specified by `INVOKEAI_ROOT`. The default location is `~/invokeai`. The runtime directory will be populated with the base configs and models necessary to start generating.
+
+### Use a GPU
+
+- Linux is *recommended* for GPU support in Docker.
+- WSL2 is *required* for Windows.
+- only `x86_64` architecture is supported.
+
+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.
+
+## Customize
+
+Check the `.env.sample` file. It contains some environment variables for running in Docker. Copy it, name it `.env`, and fill it in with your own values. Next time you run `docker compose up`, your custom values will be used.
+
+You can also set these values in `docker-compose.yml` directly, but `.env` will help avoid conflicts when code is updated.
+
+Example (values are optional, but setting `INVOKEAI_ROOT` is highly recommended):
+
+```bash
+INVOKEAI_ROOT=/Volumes/WorkDrive/invokeai
+HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN=the_actual_token
+CONTAINER_UID=1000
+GPU_DRIVER=cuda
+```
+
+Any environment variables supported by InvokeAI can be set here - please see the [Configuration docs](https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/features/CONFIGURATION/) for further detail.
+
+## Even Moar Customizing!
+
+See the `docker-compose.yml` file. The `command` instruction can be uncommented and used to run arbitrary startup commands. Some examples below.
+
+### Reconfigure the runtime directory
+
+Can be used to download additional models from the supported model list
+
+In conjunction with `INVOKEAI_ROOT` can be also used to initialize a runtime directory
+
+```yaml
+command:
+  - invokeai-configure
+  - --yes
+```
+
+Or install models:
+
+```yaml
+command:
+  - invokeai-model-install
+```

+# InvokeAI - A Stable Diffusion Toolkit
+
+Stable Diffusion distribution by InvokeAI: https://github.com/invoke-ai
+
+The Docker image tracks the `main` branch of the InvokeAI project, which means it includes the latest features, but may contain some bugs.
+
+Your working directory is mounted under the `/workspace` path inside the pod. The models are in `/workspace/invokeai/models`, and outputs are in `/workspace/invokeai/outputs`.
+
+> **Only the /workspace directory will persist between pod restarts!**
+
+> **If you _terminate_ (not just _stop_) the pod, the /workspace will be lost.**
+
+## Quickstart
+
+1. Launch a pod from this template. **It will take about 5-10 minutes to run through the initial setup**. Be patient.
+1. Wait for the application to load.
+    - TIP: you know it's ready when the CPU usage goes idle
+    - You can also check the logs for a line that says "_Point your browser at..._"
+1. Open the Invoke AI web UI: click the `Connect` => `connect over  HTTP` button.
+1. Generate some art!
+
+## Other things you can do
+
+At any point you may edit the pod configuration and set an arbitrary Docker command. For example, you could run a command to downloads some models using `curl`, or fetch some images and place them into your outputs to continue a working session.
+
+If you need to run *multiple commands*, define them in the Docker Command field like this:
+
+`bash -c "cd ${INVOKEAI_ROOT}/outputs; wormhole receive 2-foo-bar; invoke.py --web --host 0.0.0.0"`
+
+### Copying your data in and out of the pod
+
+This image includes a couple of handy tools to help you get the data into the pod (such as your custom models or embeddings), and out of the pod (such as downloading your outputs). Here are your options for getting your data in and out of the pod:
+
+- **SSH server**:
+    1. Make sure to create and set your Public Key in the RunPod settings (follow the official instructions)
+    1. Add an exposed port 22 (TCP) in the pod settings!
+    1. When your pod restarts, you will see a new entry in the `Connect` dialog. Use this SSH server to `scp` or `sftp` your files as necessary, or SSH into the pod using the fully fledged SSH server.
+
+- [**Magic Wormhole**](https://magic-wormhole.readthedocs.io/en/latest/welcome.html):
+    1. On your computer, `pip install magic-wormhole` (see above instructions for details)
+    1. Connect to the command line **using the "light" SSH client** or the browser-based console. _Currently there's a bug where `wormhole` isn't available when connected to "full" SSH server, as described above_.
+    1. `wormhole send /workspace/invokeai/outputs` will send the entire `outputs` directory. You can also send individual files.
+    1. Once packaged, you will see a `wormhole receive <123-some-words>` command. Copy it
+    1. Paste this command into the terminal on your local machine to securely download the payload.
+    1. It works the same in reverse: you can `wormhole send` some models from your computer to the pod. Again, save your files somewhere in `/workspace` or they will be lost when the pod is stopped.
+
+- **RunPod's Cloud Sync feature** may be used to sync the persistent volume to cloud storage. You could, for example, copy the entire `/workspace` to S3, add some custom models to it, and copy it back from S3 when launching new pod configurations. Follow the Cloud Sync instructions.
+
+
+### Disable the NSFW checker
+
+The NSFW checker is enabled by default. To disable it, edit the pod configuration and set the following command:
+
+```
+invoke --web --host 0.0.0.0 --no-nsfw_checker
+```

-## Welcome to Invoke AI
-
-We're thrilled to have you here and we're excited for you to contribute. 
+# Contributing
 
 Invoke AI originated as a project built by the community, and that vision carries forward today as we aim to build the best pro-grade tools available. We work together to incorporate the latest in AI/ML research, making these tools available in over 20 languages to artists and creatives around the world as part of our fully permissive OSS project designed for individual users to self-host and use.
 
-Here are some guidelines to help you get started:
 
-### Technical Prerequisites
+# Methods of Contributing to Invoke AI
+Anyone who wishes to contribute to InvokeAI, whether features, bug fixes, code cleanup, testing, code reviews, documentation or translation is very much encouraged to do so.
 
-Front-end: You'll need a working knowledge of React and TypeScript.
+## Development
+If you’d like to help with development, please see our [development guide](contribution_guides/development.md). 
 
-Back-end: Depending on the scope of your contribution, you may need to know SQLite, FastAPI, Python, and Socketio. Also, a good majority of the backend logic involved in processing images is built in a modular way using a concept called "Nodes", which are isolated functions that carry out individual, discrete operations. This design allows for easy contributions of novel pipelines and capabilities.
+**New Contributors:** If you’re unfamiliar with contributing to open source projects, take a look at our [new contributor guide](contribution_guides/newContributorChecklist.md).
 
-### How to Submit Contributions
+## Nodes
+If you’d like to add a Node, please see our [nodes contribution guide](../nodes/contributingNodes.md).

-that folder. All invocations in that folder will be discovered and made
-available to the CLI and API automatically. Invocations make use of
-[typing](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html) and
-[pydantic](https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/) for validation and integration
-into the CLI and API.
+## Invocations Directory
 
-An invocation looks like this:
+InvokeAI Nodes can be found in the `invokeai/app/invocations` directory. These can be used as examples to create your own nodes.
+
+New nodes should be added to a subfolder in `nodes` direction found at the root level of the InvokeAI installation location. Nodes added to this folder will be able to be used upon application startup. 
+
+Example `nodes`  subfolder structure:
+```py
+├── __init__.py # Invoke-managed custom node loader
+│
+├── cool_node
+│   ├── __init__.py # see example below
+│   └── cool_node.py
+│
+└── my_node_pack
+    ├── __init__.py # see example below
+    ├── tasty_node.py
+    ├── bodacious_node.py
+    ├── utils.py
+    └── extra_nodes
+        └── fancy_node.py
+```
+
+Each node folder must have an `__init__.py` file that imports its nodes. Only nodes imported in the `__init__.py` file are loaded.
+ See the README in the nodes folder for more examples: 
 
 ```py
-class UpscaleInvocation(BaseInvocation):
-    """Upscales an image."""
+from .cool_node import CoolInvocation
+```
 
-    # fmt: off
-    type: Literal["upscale"] = "upscale"
+
+## Creating A New Invocation
+
+In order to understand the process of creating a new Invocation, let us actually
+create one.
+
+In our example, let us create an Invocation that will take in an image, resize
+it and output the resized image.
+
+The first set of things we need to do when creating a new Invocation are -
+
+- Create a new class that derives from a predefined parent class called
+  `BaseInvocation`.
+- Every Invocation must have a `docstring` that describes what this Invocation
+  does.
+- While not strictly required, we suggest every invocation class name ends in
+  "Invocation", eg "CropImageInvocation".
+- Every Invocation must use the `@invocation` decorator to provide its unique
+  invocation type. You may also provide its title, tags and category using the
+  decorator.
+- Invocations are strictly typed. We make use of the native
+  [typing](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html) library and the
+  installed [pydantic](https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/) library for
+  validation.
+
+So let us do that.
+
+```python
+from invokeai.app.invocations.baseinvocation import BaseInvocation, invocation
+
+@invocation('resize')
+class ResizeInvocation(BaseInvocation):
+    '''Resizes an image'''
+```
+
+That's great.
+
+Now we have setup the base of our new Invocation. Let us think about what inputs
+our Invocation takes.
+
+- We need an `image` that we are going to resize.
+- We will need new `width` and `height` values to which we need to resize the
+  image to.
+
+### **Inputs**
+
+Every Invocation input must be defined using the `InputField` function. This is
+a wrapper around the pydantic `Field` function, which handles a few extra things
+and provides type hints. Like everything else, this should be strictly typed and
+defined.
+
+So let us create these inputs for our Invocation. First up, the `image` input we
+need. Generally, we can use standard variable types in Python but InvokeAI
+already has a custom `ImageField` type that handles all the stuff that is needed
+for image inputs.
+
+But what is this `ImageField` ..? It is a special class type specifically
+written to handle how images are dealt with in InvokeAI. We will cover how to
+create your own custom field types later in this guide. For now, let's go ahead
+and use it.
+
+```python
+from invokeai.app.invocations.baseinvocation import BaseInvocation, InputField, invocation
+from invokeai.app.invocations.primitives import ImageField
+
+@invocation('resize')
+class ResizeInvocation(BaseInvocation):
 
     # Inputs
-    image: Union[ImageField, None] = Field(description="The input image", default=None)
-    strength: float                = Field(default=0.75, gt=0, le=1, description="The strength")
-    level: Literal[2, 4]           = Field(default=2, description="The upscale level")
-    # fmt: on
+    image: ImageField = InputField(description="The input image")
+```
 
-    # Schema customisation
-    class Config(InvocationConfig):
-        schema_extra = {
-            "ui": {
-                "tags": ["upscaling", "image"],
-            },
-        }
+Let us break down our input code.
+
+```python
+image: ImageField = InputField(description="The input image")
+```
+
+| Part      | Value                                       | Description                                                                     |
+| --------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Name      | `image`                                     | The variable that will hold our image                                           |
+| Type Hint | `ImageField`                                | The types for our field. Indicates that the image must be an `ImageField` type. |
+| Field     | `InputField(description="The input image")` | The image variable is an `InputField` which needs a description.                |
+
+Great. Now let us create our other inputs for `width` and `height`
+
+```python
+from invokeai.app.invocations.baseinvocation import BaseInvocation, InputField, invocation
+from invokeai.app.invocations.primitives import ImageField
+
+@invocation('resize')
+class ResizeInvocation(BaseInvocation):
+    '''Resizes an image'''
+
+    # Inputs
+    image: ImageField = InputField(description="The input image")
+    width: int = InputField(default=512, ge=64, le=2048, description="Width of the new image")
+    height: int = InputField(default=512, ge=64, le=2048, description="Height of the new image")
+```
+
+As you might have noticed, we added two new arguments to the `InputField`
+definition for `width` and `height`, called `gt` and `le`. They stand for
+_greater than or equal to_ and _less than or equal to_.
+
+These impose contraints on those fields, and will raise an exception if the
+values do not meet the constraints. Field constraints are provided by
+**pydantic**, so anything you see in the **pydantic docs** will work.
+
+**Note:** _Any time it is possible to define constraints for our field, we
+should do it so the frontend has more information on how to parse this field._
+
+Perfect. We now have our inputs. Let us do something with these.
+
+### **Invoke Function**
+
+The `invoke` function is where all the magic happens. This function provides you
+the `context` parameter that is of the type `InvocationContext` which will give
+you access to the current context of the generation and all the other services
+that are provided by it by InvokeAI.
+
+Let us create this function first.
+
+```python
+from invokeai.app.invocations.baseinvocation import BaseInvocation, InputField, invocation, InvocationContext
+from invokeai.app.invocations.primitives import ImageField
+
+@invocation('resize')
+class ResizeInvocation(BaseInvocation):
+    '''Resizes an image'''
+
+    # Inputs
+    image: ImageField = InputField(description="The input image")
+    width: int = InputField(default=512, ge=64, le=2048, description="Width of the new image")
+    height: int = InputField(default=512, ge=64, le=2048, description="Height of the new image")
+
+    def invoke(self, context: InvocationContext):
+        pass
+```
+
+### **Outputs**
+
+The output of our Invocation will be whatever is returned by this `invoke`
+function. Like with our inputs, we need to strongly type and define our outputs
+too.
+
+What is our output going to be? Another image. Normally you'd have to create a
+type for this but InvokeAI already offers you an `ImageOutput` type that handles
+all the necessary info related to image outputs. So let us use that.
+
+We will cover how to create your own output types later in this guide.
+
+```python
+from invokeai.app.invocations.baseinvocation import BaseInvocation, InputField, invocation, InvocationContext
+from invokeai.app.invocations.primitives import ImageField
+from invokeai.app.invocations.image import ImageOutput
+
+@invocation('resize')
+class ResizeInvocation(BaseInvocation):
+    '''Resizes an image'''
+
+    # Inputs
+    image: ImageField = InputField(description="The input image")
+    width: int = InputField(default=512, ge=64, le=2048, description="Width of the new image")
+    height: int = InputField(default=512, ge=64, le=2048, description="Height of the new image")
 
     def invoke(self, context: InvocationContext) -> ImageOutput:
-        image = context.services.images.get_pil_image(
-            self.image.image_origin, self.image.image_name
-        )
-        results = context.services.restoration.upscale_and_reconstruct(
-            image_list=[[image, 0]],
-            upscale=(self.level, self.strength),
-            strength=0.0,  # GFPGAN strength
-            save_original=False,
-            image_callback=None,
-        )
+        pass
+```
 
-        # Results are image and seed, unwrap for now
-        # TODO: can this return multiple results?
-        image_dto = context.services.images.create(
-            image=results[0][0],
+Perfect. Now that we have our Invocation setup, let us do what we want to do.
+
+- We will first load the image using one of the services provided by InvokeAI to
+  load the image.
+- We will resize the image using `PIL` to our input data.
+- We will output this image in the format we set above.
+
+So let's do that.
+

-
-Each portion is important to implement correctly.
-
-### Class definition and type
-
-```py
-class UpscaleInvocation(BaseInvocation):
-    """Upscales an image."""
-    type: Literal['upscale'] = 'upscale'
-```
-
-All invocations must derive from `BaseInvocation`. They should have a docstring
-that declares what they do in a single, short line. They should also have a
-`type` with a type hint that's `Literal["command_name"]`, where `command_name`
-is what the user will type on the CLI or use in the API to create this
-invocation. The `command_name` must be unique. The `type` must be assigned to
-the value of the literal in the type hint.
-
-### Inputs
-
-```py
-    # Inputs
-    image: Union[ImageField,None] = Field(description="The input image")
-    strength: float               = Field(default=0.75, gt=0, le=1, description="The strength")
-    level: Literal[2,4]           = Field(default=2, description="The upscale level")
-```
-
-Inputs consist of three parts: a name, a type hint, and a `Field` with default,
-description, and validation information. For example:
-
-| Part      | Value                                                         | Description                                                                                                               |
-| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| Name      | `strength`                                                    | This field is referred to as `strength`                                                                                   |
-| Type Hint | `float`                                                       | This field must be of type `float`                                                                                        |
-| Field     | `Field(default=0.75, gt=0, le=1, description="The strength")` | The default value is `0.75`, the value must be in the range (0,1], and help text will show "The strength" for this field. |
-
-Notice that `image` has type `Union[ImageField,None]`. The `Union` allows this
-field to be parsed with `None` as a value, which enables linking to previous
-invocations. All fields should either provide a default value or allow `None` as
-a value, so that they can be overwritten with a linked output from another
-invocation.
-
-The special type `ImageField` is also used here. All images are passed as
-`ImageField`, which protects them from pydantic validation errors (since images
-only ever come from links).
-
-Finally, note that for all linking, the `type` of the linked fields must match.
-If the `name` also matches, then the field can be **automatically linked** to a
-previous invocation by name and matching.
-
-### Config
-
-```py
-    # Schema customisation
-    class Config(InvocationConfig):
-        schema_extra = {
-            "ui": {
-                "tags": ["upscaling", "image"],
-            },
-        }
-```
-
-This is an optional configuration for the invocation. It inherits from
-pydantic's model `Config` class, and it used primarily to customize the
-autogenerated OpenAPI schema.
-
-The UI relies on the OpenAPI schema in two ways:
-
-- An API client & Typescript types are generated from it. This happens at build
-  time.
-- The node editor parses the schema into a template used by the UI to create the
-  node editor UI. This parsing happens at runtime.
-
-In this example, a `ui` key has been added to the `schema_extra` dict to provide
-some tags for the UI, to facilitate filtering nodes.
-
-See the Schema Generation section below for more information.
-
-### Invoke Function
-
-```py
-    def invoke(self, context: InvocationContext) -> ImageOutput:
-        image = context.services.images.get_pil_image(
-            self.image.image_origin, self.image.image_name
-        )
-        results = context.services.restoration.upscale_and_reconstruct(
-            image_list=[[image, 0]],
-            upscale=(self.level, self.strength),
-            strength=0.0,  # GFPGAN strength
-            save_original=False,
-            image_callback=None,
-        )
-
-        # Results are image and seed, unwrap for now
-        # TODO: can this return multiple results?
-        image_dto = context.services.images.create(
-            image=results[0][0],
-            image_origin=ResourceOrigin.INTERNAL,
-            image_category=ImageCategory.GENERAL,
-            node_id=self.id,
-            session_id=context.graph_execution_state_id,
-            is_intermediate=self.is_intermediate,
-        )
-
-        return ImageOutput(
-            image=ImageField(
-                image_name=image_dto.image_name,
-                image_origin=image_dto.image_origin,
-            ),
-            width=image_dto.width,
-            height=image_dto.height,
+            width=output_image.width,
+            height=output_image.height,
         )
 ```
 
-The `invoke` function is the last portion of an invocation. It is provided an
-`InvocationContext` which contains services to perform work as well as a
-`session_id` for use as needed. It should return a class with output values that
-derives from `BaseInvocationOutput`.
+**Note:** Do not be overwhelmed by the `ImageOutput` process. InvokeAI has a
+certain way that the images need to be dispatched in order to be stored and read
+correctly. In 99% of the cases when dealing with an image output, you can simply
+copy-paste the template above.
 
-Before being called, the invocation will have all of its fields set from
-defaults, inputs, and finally links (overriding in that order).
+### Customization
 
-Assume that this invocation may be running simultaneously with other
-invocations, may be running on another machine, or in other interesting
-scenarios. If you need functionality, please provide it as a service in the
-`InvocationServices` class, and make sure it can be overridden.
+We can use the `@invocation` decorator to provide some additional info to the
+UI, like a custom title, tags and category.
 
-### Outputs
-
-```py
-class ImageOutput(BaseInvocationOutput):
-    """Base class for invocations that output an image"""
-
-    # fmt: off
-    type: Literal["image_output"] = "image_output"
-    image:      ImageField = Field(default=None, description="The output image")
-    width:             int = Field(description="The width of the image in pixels")
-    height:            int = Field(description="The height of the image in pixels")
-    # fmt: on
-
-    class Config:
-        schema_extra = {"required": ["type", "image", "width", "height"]}
-```
-
-Output classes look like an invocation class without the invoke method. Prefer
-to use an existing output class if available, and prefer to name inputs the same
-as outputs when possible, to promote automatic invocation linking.
-
-## Schema Generation
-
-Invocation, output and related classes are used to generate an OpenAPI schema.
-
-### Required Properties
-
-The schema generation treat all properties with default values as optional. This
-makes sense internally, but when when using these classes via the generated
-schema, we end up with e.g. the `ImageOutput` class having its `image` property
-marked as optional.
-
-We know that this property will always be present, so the additional logic
-needed to always check if the property exists adds a lot of extraneous cruft.
-
-To fix this, we can leverage `pydantic`'s
-[schema customisation](https://docs.pydantic.dev/usage/schema/#schema-customization)
-to mark properties that we know will always be present as required.
-
-Here's that `ImageOutput` class, without the needed schema customisation:
+We also encourage providing a version. This must be a
+[semver](https://semver.org/) version string ("$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH"). The UI
+will let users know if their workflow is using a mismatched version of the node.
 
 ```python
-class ImageOutput(BaseInvocationOutput):
-    """Base class for invocations that output an image"""
+@invocation("resize", title="My Resizer", tags=["resize", "image"], category="My Invocations", version="1.0.0")
+class ResizeInvocation(BaseInvocation):
+    """Resizes an image"""
 
-    # fmt: off
-    type: Literal["image_output"] = "image_output"
-    image:      ImageField = Field(default=None, description="The output image")
-    width:             int = Field(description="The width of the image in pixels")
-    height:            int = Field(description="The height of the image in pixels")
-    # fmt: on
+    image: ImageField = InputField(description="The input image")
+    ...
 ```
 
-The OpenAPI schema that results from this `ImageOutput` will have the `type`,
-`image`, `width` and `height` properties marked as optional, even though we know
-they will always have a value.
+That's it. You made your own **Resize Invocation**.
+
+## Result
+
+Once you make your Invocation correctly, the rest of the process is fully
+automated for you.
+
+When you launch InvokeAI, you can go to `http://localhost:9090/docs` and see
+your new Invocation show up there with all the relevant info.
+
+![resize invocation](../assets/contributing/resize_invocation.png)
+
+When you launch the frontend UI, you can go to the Node Editor tab and find your
+new Invocation ready to be used.
+
+![resize node editor](../assets/contributing/resize_node_editor.png)
+
+## Contributing Nodes
+
+Once you've created a Node, the next step is to share it with the community! The
+best way to do this is to submit a Pull Request to add the Node to the
+[Community Nodes](nodes/communityNodes) list. If you're not sure how to do that,
+take a look a at our [contributing nodes overview](contributingNodes).
+
+## Advanced
+
+### Custom Output Types
+
+Like with custom inputs, sometimes you might find yourself needing custom
+outputs that InvokeAI does not provide. We can easily set one up.
+
+Now that you are familiar with Invocations and Inputs, let us use that knowledge
+to create an output that has an `image` field, a `color` field and a `string`
+field.
+
+- An invocation output is a class that derives from the parent class of
+  `BaseInvocationOutput`.
+- All invocation outputs must use the `@invocation_output` decorator to provide
+  their unique output type.
+- Output fields must use the provided `OutputField` function. This is very
+  similar to the `InputField` function described earlier - it's a wrapper around
+  `pydantic`'s `Field()`.
+- It is not mandatory but we recommend using names ending with `Output` for
+  output types.
+- It is not mandatory but we highly recommend adding a `docstring` to describe
+  what your output type is for.
+
+Now that we know the basic rules for creating a new output type, let us go ahead
+and make it.
 
 ```python
-class ImageOutput(BaseInvocationOutput):
-    """Base class for invocations that output an image"""
+from .baseinvocation import BaseInvocationOutput, OutputField, invocation_output

+<!-- TODO: DANGER - we probably do not want people to create their own field types, because this requires a lot of work on the frontend to accomodate.
+
+### Custom Input Fields
+
+Now that you know how to create your own Invocations, let us dive into slightly
+more advanced topics.
+
+While creating your own Invocations, you might run into a scenario where the
+existing input types in InvokeAI do not meet your requirements. In such cases,
+you can create your own input types.
+
+Let us create one as an example. Let us say we want to create a color input
+field that represents a color code. But before we start on that here are some
+general good practices to keep in mind.
+
+**Good Practices**
+
+- There is no naming convention for input fields but we highly recommend that
+  you name it something appropriate like `ColorField`.
+- It is not mandatory but it is heavily recommended to add a relevant
+  `docstring` to describe your input field.
+- Keep your field in the same file as the Invocation that it is made for or in
+  another file where it is relevant.
+
+All input types a class that derive from the `BaseModel` type from `pydantic`.
+So let's create one.
+
+```python
+from pydantic import BaseModel
+
+class ColorField(BaseModel):
+    '''A field that holds the rgba values of a color'''
+    pass
+```
+
+Perfect. Now let us create our custom inputs for our field. This is exactly
+similar how you created input fields for your Invocation. All the same rules
+apply. Let us create four fields representing the _red(r)_, _blue(b)_,
+_green(g)_ and _alpha(a)_ channel of the color.
+
+```python
+class ColorField(BaseModel):
+    '''A field that holds the rgba values of a color'''
+    r: int = Field(ge=0, le=255, description="The red channel")
+    g: int = Field(ge=0, le=255, description="The green channel")
+    b: int = Field(ge=0, le=255, description="The blue channel")
+    a: int = Field(ge=0, le=255, description="The alpha channel")
+```
+
+That's it. We now have a new input field type that we can use in our Invocations
+like this.
+
+```python
+color: ColorField = Field(default=ColorField(r=0, g=0, b=0, a=0), description='Background color of an image')
+```
+
+### Custom Components For Frontend
+
+Every backend input type should have a corresponding frontend component so the
+UI knows what to render when you use a particular field type.
+
+If you are using existing field types, we already have components for those. So
+you don't have to worry about creating anything new. But this might not always
+be the case. Sometimes you might want to create new field types and have the
+frontend UI deal with it in a different way.
+
+This is where we venture into the world of React and Javascript and create our
+own new components for our Invocations. Do not fear the world of JS. It's
+actually pretty straightforward.
+
+Let us create a new component for our custom color field we created above. When
+we use a color field, let us say we want the UI to display a color picker for
+the user to pick from rather than entering values. That is what we will build
+now.

 ## Front End
 
 <!--#TODO: get input from blessedcoolant here, for the moment inserted the frontend README via snippets extension.-->
 
 --8<-- "invokeai/frontend/web/README.md"
+
+## Developing InvokeAI in VSCode
+
+VSCode offers some nice tools:
+
+- python debugger
+- automatic `venv` activation
+- remote dev (e.g. run InvokeAI on a beefy linux desktop while you type in
+  comfort on your macbook)
+
+### Setup
+
+You'll need the
+[Python](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.python)
+and
+[Pylance](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.vscode-pylance)
+extensions installed first.
+
+It's also really handy to install the `Jupyter` extensions:
+
+- [Jupyter](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-toolsai.jupyter)
+- [Jupyter Cell Tags](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-toolsai.vscode-jupyter-cell-tags)
+- [Jupyter Notebook Renderers](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-toolsai.jupyter-renderers)
+- [Jupyter Slide Show](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-toolsai.vscode-jupyter-slideshow)
+
+#### InvokeAI workspace
+
+Creating a VSCode workspace for working on InvokeAI is highly recommended. It
+can hold InvokeAI-specific settings and configs.
+
+To make a workspace:
+
+- Open the InvokeAI repo dir in VSCode
+- `File` > `Save Workspace As` > save it _outside_ the repo
+
+#### Default python interpreter (i.e. automatic virtual environment activation)
+
+- Use command palette to run command
+  `Preferences: Open Workspace Settings (JSON)`
+- Add `python.defaultInterpreterPath` to `settings`, pointing to your `venv`'s
+  python
+
+Should look something like this:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  // I like to have all InvokeAI-related folders in my workspace
+  "folders": [
+    {
+      // repo root
+      "path": "InvokeAI"
+    },
+    {
+      // InvokeAI root dir, where `invokeai.yaml` lives
+      "path": "/path/to/invokeai_root"
+    }
+  ],
+  "settings": {
+    // Where your InvokeAI `venv`'s python executable lives
+    "python.defaultInterpreterPath": "/path/to/invokeai_root/.venv/bin/python"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Now when you open the VSCode integrated terminal, or do anything that needs to
+run python, it will automatically be in your InvokeAI virtual environment.
+
+Bonus: When you create a Jupyter notebook, when you run it, you'll be prompted
+for the python interpreter to run in. This will default to your `venv` python,
+and so you'll have access to the same python environment as the InvokeAI app.
+
+This is _super_ handy.
+
+#### 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.
+
+#### Debugging configs with `launch.json`
+
+Debugging configs are managed in a `launch.json` file. Like most VSCode configs,
+these can be scoped to a workspace or folder.
+
+Follow the [official guide](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/debugging)
+to set up your `launch.json` and try it out.
+
+Now we can create the InvokeAI debugging configs:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
+  // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
+  // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
+  "version": "0.2.0",
+  "configurations": [
+    {
+      // Run the InvokeAI backend & serve the pre-built UI
+      "name": "InvokeAI Web",
+      "type": "python",
+      "request": "launch",
+      "program": "scripts/invokeai-web.py",
+      "args": [
+        // Your InvokeAI root dir (where `invokeai.yaml` lives)
+        "--root",
+        "/path/to/invokeai_root",
+        // Access the app from anywhere on your local network
+        "--host",
+        "0.0.0.0"
+      ],
+      "justMyCode": true
+    },
+    {
+      // Run the nodes-based CLI
+      "name": "InvokeAI CLI",
+      "type": "python",
+      "request": "launch",
+      "program": "scripts/invokeai-cli.py",
+      "justMyCode": true
+    },
+    {
+      // Run tests
+      "name": "InvokeAI Test",
+      "type": "python",
+      "request": "launch",
+      "module": "pytest",
+      "args": ["--capture=no"],
+      "justMyCode": true
+    },
+    {
+      // Run a single test
+      "name": "InvokeAI Single Test",
+      "type": "python",
+      "request": "launch",
+      "module": "pytest",
+      "args": [
+        // Change this to point to the specific test you are working on
+        "tests/nodes/test_invoker.py"
+      ],
+      "justMyCode": true
+    },
+    {
+      // This is the default, useful to just run a single file
+      "name": "Python: File",
+      "type": "python",
+      "request": "launch",
+      "program": "${file}",
+      "justMyCode": true
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+You'll see these configs in the debugging configs drop down. Running them will
+start InvokeAI with attached debugger, in the correct environment, and work just
+like the normal app.
+
+Enjoy debugging InvokeAI with ease (not that we have any bugs of course).
+
+#### Remote dev
+
+This is very easy to set up and provides the same very smooth experience as
+local development. Environments and debugging, as set up above, just work,
+though you'd need to recreate the workspace and debugging configs on the remote.
+
+Consult the
+[official guide](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview) to
+get it set up.
+
+Suggest using VSCode's included settings sync so that your remote dev host has
+all the same app settings and extensions automagically.
+
+##### One remote dev gotcha
+
+I've found the automatic port forwarding to be very flakey. You can disable it
+in `Preferences: Open Remote Settings (ssh: hostname)`. Search for
+`remote.autoForwardPorts` and untick the box.
+
+To forward ports very reliably, use SSH on the remote dev client (e.g. your
+macbook). Here's how to forward both backend API port (`9090`) and the frontend
+live dev server port (`5173`):
+
+```bash
+ssh \
+    -L 9090:localhost:9090 \
+    -L 5173:localhost:5173 \
+    user@remote-dev-host
+```
+
+The forwarding stops when you close the terminal window, so suggest to do this
+_outside_ the VSCode integrated terminal in case you need to restart VSCode for
+an extension update or something
+
+Now, on your remote dev client, you can open `localhost:9090` and access the UI,
+now served from the remote dev host, just the same as if it was running on the
+client.

+# 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 HTML output is particularly helpful in identifying untested statements where coverage should be improved. The HTML report can be viewed by opening `./coverage/html/index.html`.

+
+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`.

+# Development
+
+## **What do I need to know to help?**
+
+If you are looking to help to with a code contribution, InvokeAI uses several different technologies under the hood: Python (Pydantic, FastAPI, diffusers) and Typescript (React, Redux Toolkit, ChakraUI, Mantine, Konva). Familiarity with StableDiffusion and image generation concepts is helpful, but not essential. 
+
+
+## **Get Started**
+
+To get started, take a look at our [new contributors checklist](newContributorChecklist.md)
+
+Once you're setup, for more information, you can review the documentation specific to your area of interest:
+
+* #### [InvokeAI Architecure](../ARCHITECTURE.md)
+* #### [Frontend Documentation](./contributingToFrontend.md)
+* #### [Node Documentation](../INVOCATIONS.md)
+* #### [Local Development](../LOCAL_DEVELOPMENT.md)
+
+
+
+If you don't feel ready to make a code contribution yet, no problem! You can also help out in other ways, such as [documentation](documentation.md), [translation](translation.md) or helping support other users and triage issues as they're reported in GitHub.
+
+There are two paths to making a development contribution: 
+
+1. Choosing an open issue to address. Open issues can be found in the [Issues](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen) section of the InvokeAI repository. These are tagged by the issue type (bug, enhancement, etc.) along with the “good first issues” tag denoting if they are suitable for first time contributors.
+    1. Additional items can be found on our [roadmap](https://github.com/orgs/invoke-ai/projects/7). The roadmap is organized in terms of priority, and contains features of varying size and complexity. If there is an inflight item you’d like to help with, reach out to the contributor assigned to the item to see how you can help. 
+2. Opening a new issue or feature to add. **Please make sure you have searched through existing issues before creating new ones.**
+
+*Regardless of what you choose, please post in the  [#dev-chat](https://discord.com/channels/1020123559063990373/1049495067846524939) channel of the Discord before you start development in order to confirm that the issue or feature is aligned with the current direction of the project. We value our contributors time and effort and want to ensure that no one’s time is being misspent.*
+
+## 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
+
+## **Where can I go for help?**
+
+If you need help, you can ask questions in the [#dev-chat](https://discord.com/channels/1020123559063990373/1049495067846524939) channel of the Discord.
+

+# Documentation
+
+Documentation is an important part of any open source project. It provides a clear and concise way to communicate how the software works, how to use it, and how to troubleshoot issues. Without proper documentation, it can be difficult for users to understand the purpose and functionality of the project. 
+
+## Contributing
+
+All documentation is maintained in the InvokeAI GitHub repository. If you come across documentation that is out of date or incorrect, please submit a pull request with the necessary changes. 
+
+When updating or creating documentation, please keep in mind InvokeAI is a tool for everyone, not just those who have familiarity with generative art. 
+
+## Help & Questions
+
+Please ping @imic or @hipsterusername in the [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1020123559063990373/1049495067846524939) if you have any questions.

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
+
+
+## **Where can I go for help?**
+
+If you need help, you can ask questions in the [#dev-chat](https://discord.com/channels/1020123559063990373/1049495067846524939) channel of the Discord.

+
+# :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:
+./outputs/Xena/000004.3279757577.png: "prompt" -s50 -W512 -H512 -C7.5 -Ak_lms -V 3647897225:0.1,1614299449:0.1,3279757577:0.05 -S3357757885

+```
+
+This produces six images, all slight variations on the combination of the chosen
+two images. Here's the one I like best:
+
+<figure markdown>
+![var5](../assets/variation_walkthru/000004.3747154981.png)
+<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](../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: The Hugging Face Concepts Library and Importing Textual Inversion files
-
-## 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 often, but not always, 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](TEXTUAL_INVERSION.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. InvokeAI has built-in support for this
-library which downloads and merges TI files automatically upon request. You can
-also install your own or others' TI files by placing them in a designated
-directory.
-
-### 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> |
-| :--------------------------------: | :-----------------------------------: | :------------------------------------: | :----------------------------------------: |

-
-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>
-## Using a Hugging Face Concept
-
-!!! warning "Authenticating to HuggingFace"
-
-    Some concepts require valid authentication to HuggingFace. Without it, they will not be downloaded
-    and will be silently ignored.
-
-    If you used an installer to install InvokeAI, you may have already set a HuggingFace token.
-    If you skipped this step, you can:
-
-    - run the InvokeAI configuration script again (if you used a manual installer): `invokeai-configure`
-    - set one of the `HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN` or `HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN` environment variables to contain your token
-
-    Finally, if you already used any HuggingFace library on your computer, you might already have a token
-    in your local cache. Check for a hidden `.huggingface` directory in your home folder. If it
-    contains a `token` file, then you are all set.
-
-
-Hugging Face TI concepts are downloaded and installed automatically as you
-require them. This requires your machine to be connected to the Internet. To
-find out what each concept is for, you can browse the
-[Hugging Face concepts library](https://huggingface.co/sd-concepts-library) and
-look at examples of what each concept produces.
-
-To load concepts, you will need to open the Web UI's configuration
-dialogue and activate "Show Textual Inversions from HF Concepts
-Library". This will then add a list of HF Concepts to the dropdown
-"Add Textual Inversion" menu. Select the concept(s) of your choice and
-they will be incorporated into the positive prompt. A few concepts are
-designed for the negative prompt, in which case you can add them to
-the negative prompt box by select the down arrow icon next to the
-textual inversion menu.
-
-There are nearly 1000 HF concepts, more than will fit into a menu. For
-this reason we only show the most popular concepts (those which have
-received 5 or more likes). If you wish to use a concept that is not on
-the list, you may simply type its name surrounded by brackets. For
-example, to load the concept named "xidiversity", add `<xidiversity>`
-to the positive or negative prompt text.
-
-## Installing your Own TI Files
-
-You may install any number of `.pt` and `.bin` files simply by copying them into
-the `embeddings` directory of the InvokeAI runtime directory (usually `invokeai`
-in your home directory). You may create subdirectories in order to organize the
-files in any way you wish. 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 use subdirectories to keep them distinct.
-
-At startup time, InvokeAI will scan the `embeddings` directory and load any TI
-files it finds there. At startup you will see a message similar to this one:
-
-```bash
->> Current embedding manager terms: <HOI4-Leader>, <princess-knight>
-```
-
-The terms you can use will appear in the "Add Textual Inversion"
-dropdown menu above the HF Concepts.

+
+# :material-tune-variant: InvokeAI Configuration
+
+## Intro
+
+InvokeAI has numerous runtime settings which can be used to adjust
+many aspects of its operations, including the location of files and
+directories, memory usage, and performance. These settings can be
+viewed and customized in several ways:
+
+1. By editing settings in the `invokeai.yaml` file.
+2. By setting environment variables.
+3. On the command-line, when InvokeAI is launched.
+
+In addition, the most commonly changed settings are accessible
+graphically via the `invokeai-configure` script.
+
+### How the Configuration System Works
+
+When InvokeAI is launched, the very first thing it needs to do is to
+find its "root" directory, which contains its configuration files,
+installed models, its database of images, and the folder(s) of
+generated images themselves. In this document, the root directory will
+be referred to as ROOT.
+
+#### Finding the Root Directory
+
+To find its root directory, InvokeAI uses the following recipe:
+
+1. It first looks for the argument `--root <path>` on the command line
+it was launched from, and uses the indicated path if present.
+
+2. Next it looks for the environment variable INVOKEAI_ROOT, and uses
+the directory path found there if present.
+
+3. If neither of these are present, then InvokeAI looks for the
+folder containing the `.venv` Python virtual environment directory for
+the currently active environment. This directory is checked for files
+expected inside the InvokeAI root before it is used.
+
+4. Finally, InvokeAI looks for a directory in the current user's home
+directory named `invokeai`.
+
+#### Reading the InvokeAI Configuration File
+
+Once the root directory has been located, InvokeAI looks for a file
+named `ROOT/invokeai.yaml`, and if present reads configuration values
+from it. The top of this file looks like this:
+
+```
+InvokeAI:
+  Web Server:
+    host: localhost
+    port: 9090
+    allow_origins: []
+    allow_credentials: true
+    allow_methods:
+    - '*'
+    allow_headers:
+    - '*'
+  Features:
+    esrgan: true
+    internet_available: true
+    log_tokenization: false
+    patchmatch: true
+    restore: true
+...
+```
+
+This lines in this file are used to establish default values for
+Invoke's settings. In the above fragment, the Web Server's listening
+port is set to 9090 by the `port` setting.
+
+You can edit this file with a text editor such as "Notepad" (do not
+use Word or any other word processor). When editing, be careful to
+maintain the indentation, and do not add extraneous text, as syntax
+errors will prevent InvokeAI from launching. A basic guide to the
+format of YAML files can be found
+[here](https://circleci.com/blog/what-is-yaml-a-beginner-s-guide/).
+
+You can fix a broken `invokeai.yaml` by deleting it and running the
+configuration script again -- option [6] in the launcher, "Re-run the
+configure script".
+
+#### Reading Environment Variables
+
+Next InvokeAI looks for defined environment variables in the format
+`INVOKEAI_<setting_name>`, for example `INVOKEAI_port`. Environment
+variable values take precedence over configuration file variables. On
+a Macintosh system, for example, you could change the port that the
+web server listens on by setting the environment variable this way:
+
+```
+export INVOKEAI_port=8000
+invokeai-web
+```
+
+Please check out these
+[Macintosh](https://phoenixnap.com/kb/set-environment-variable-mac)
+and
+[Windows](https://phoenixnap.com/kb/windows-set-environment-variable)
+guides for setting temporary and permanent environment variables.
+
+#### Reading the Command Line
+
+Lastly, InvokeAI takes settings from the command line, which override
+everything else. The command-line settings have the same name as the
+corresponding configuration file settings, preceded by a `--`, for
+example `--port 8000`.
+
+If you are using the launcher (`invoke.sh` or `invoke.bat`) to launch
+InvokeAI, then just pass the command-line arguments to the launcher:
+
+```
+invoke.bat --port 8000 --host 0.0.0.0
+```
+
+The arguments will be applied when you select the web server option
+(and the other options as well).
+
+If, on the other hand, you prefer to launch InvokeAI directly from the
+command line, you would first activate the virtual environment (known
+as the "developer's console" in the launcher), and run `invokeai-web`:
+
+```
+> C:\Users\Fred\invokeai\.venv\scripts\activate
+(.venv) > invokeai-web --port 8000 --host 0.0.0.0
+```
+
+You can get a listing and brief instructions for each of the
+command-line options by giving the `--help` argument:
+
+```
+(.venv) > invokeai-web --help
+usage: InvokeAI [-h] [--host HOST] [--port PORT] [--allow_origins [ALLOW_ORIGINS ...]] [--allow_credentials | --no-allow_credentials] [--allow_methods [ALLOW_METHODS ...]]

+                [--patchmatch | --no-patchmatch] [--restore | --no-restore]
+                [--always_use_cpu | --no-always_use_cpu] [--free_gpu_mem | --no-free_gpu_mem] [--max_loaded_models MAX_LOADED_MODELS] [--max_cache_size MAX_CACHE_SIZE]

+
+## The Configuration Settings
+
+The configuration settings are divided into several distinct
+groups in `invokeia.yaml`:
+
+### Web Server
+
+| Setting  | Default Value  |  Description |
+|----------|----------------|--------------|
+| `host`     | `localhost`      | Name or IP address of the network interface that the web server will listen on  |
+| `port`     | `9090`           | Network port number that the web server will listen on  |
+| `allow_origins`  | `[]`       | A list of host names or IP addresses that are allowed to connect to the InvokeAI API in the format `['host1','host2',...]` |
+| `allow_credentials` | `true`   | Require credentials for a foreign host to access the InvokeAI API (don't change this) |
+| `allow_methods` | `*`         | List of HTTP methods ("GET", "POST") that the web server is allowed to use when accessing the API  |
+| `allow_headers` | `*`         | List of HTTP headers that the web server will accept when accessing the API  |
+
+The documentation for InvokeAI's API can be accessed by browsing to the following URL: [http://localhost:9090/docs].
+
+### Features
+
+These configuration settings allow you to enable and disable various InvokeAI features:
+
+| Setting  | Default Value  |  Description |
+|----------|----------------|--------------|
+| `esrgan`     | `true`      | Activate the ESRGAN upscaling options|
+| `internet_available` | `true`     | When a resource is not available locally, try to fetch it via the internet |
+| `log_tokenization` | `false`      | Before each text2image generation, print a color-coded representation of the prompt to the console; this can help understand why a prompt is not working as expected |
+| `patchmatch` | `true`     | Activate the "patchmatch" algorithm for improved inpainting |
+
+### Generation
+
+These options tune InvokeAI's memory and performance characteristics.
+
+| Setting               | Default Value | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
+|-----------------------|---------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `sequential_guidance` | `false`       | Calculate guidance in serial rather than in parallel, lowering memory requirements at the cost of some performance loss                                                                                                                                          |
+| `attention_type`      | `auto`        | Select the type of attention to use. One of `auto`,`normal`,`xformers`,`sliced`, or `torch-sdp`                                                                                                                                                                  |
+| `attention_slice_size` | `auto`       | When "sliced" attention is selected, set the slice size. One of `auto`, `balanced`, `max` or the integers 1-8|
+| `force_tiled_decode`  | `false`       | Force the VAE step to decode in tiles, reducing memory consumption at the cost of performance |
+
+### Device
+
+These options configure the generation execution device.
+
+| Setting               | Default Value | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
+|-----------------------|---------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `device`           | `auto`        | Preferred execution device. One of `auto`, `cpu`, `cuda`, `cuda:1`, `mps`. `auto` will choose the device depending on the hardware platform and the installed torch capabilities. |
+| `precision`           | `auto`        | Floating point precision. One of `auto`, `float16` or `float32`. `float16` will consume half the memory of `float32` but produce slightly lower-quality images. The `auto` setting will guess the proper precision based on your video card and operating system |
+
+
+### Paths
+
+These options set the paths of various directories and files used by
+InvokeAI. Relative paths are interpreted relative to INVOKEAI_ROOT, so
+if INVOKEAI_ROOT is `/home/fred/invokeai` and the path is
+`autoimport/main`, then the corresponding directory will be located at
+`/home/fred/invokeai/autoimport/main`.
+
+| Setting  | Default Value  |  Description |
+|----------|----------------|--------------|
+| `autoimport_dir` | `autoimport/main`     | At startup time, read and import any main model files found in this directory |
+| `lora_dir` | `autoimport/lora`     | At startup time, read and import any LoRA/LyCORIS models found in this directory |
+| `embedding_dir` | `autoimport/embedding`  | At startup time, read and import any textual inversion (embedding) models found in this directory |
+| `controlnet_dir` | `autoimport/controlnet`  | At startup time, read and import any ControlNet models found in this directory |
+| `conf_path` | `configs/models.yaml`  | Location of the `models.yaml` model configuration file |
+| `models_dir` | `models`  | Location of the directory containing models installed by InvokeAI's model manager |
+| `legacy_conf_dir` | `configs/stable-diffusion`  | Location of the directory containing the .yaml configuration files for legacy checkpoint models |
+| `db_dir` | `databases`  | Location of the directory containing InvokeAI's image, schema and session database |
+| `outdir` | `outputs`  | Location of the directory in which the gallery of generated and uploaded images will be stored |
+| `use_memory_db` | `false`  | Keep database information in memory rather than on disk; this will not preserve image gallery information across restarts |
+
+Note that the autoimport directories will be searched recursively,
+allowing you to organize the models into folders and subfolders in any
+way you wish. In addition, while we have split up autoimport
+directories by the type of model they contain, this isn't
+necessary. You can combine different model types in the same folder
+and InvokeAI will figure out what they are. So you can easily use just
+one autoimport directory by commenting out the unneeded paths:
+
+```
+Paths:
+  autoimport_dir: autoimport
+#  lora_dir: null
+#  embedding_dir: null
+#  controlnet_dir: null
+```
+
+### Logging
+
+These settings control the information, warning, and debugging
+messages printed to the console log while InvokeAI is running:
+
+| Setting  | Default Value  |  Description |
+|----------|----------------|--------------|
+| `log_handlers` | `console` | This controls where log messages are sent, and can be a list of one or more destinations. Values include `console`, `file`, `syslog` and `http`. These are described in more detail below |
+| `log_format` | `color` | This controls the formatting of the log messages. Values are `plain`, `color`, `legacy` and `syslog` |
+| `log_level`  | `debug` | This filters messages according to the level of severity and can be one of `debug`, `info`, `warning`, `error` and `critical`. For example, setting to `warning` will display all messages at the warning level or higher, but won't display "debug" or "info" messages |
+
+Several different log handler destinations are available, and multiple destinations are supported by providing a list:
+
+```
+  log_handlers:
+     - console
+     - syslog=localhost
+     - file=/var/log/invokeai.log
+```
+
+* `console` is the default. It prints log messages to the command-line window from which InvokeAI was launched.
+
+* `syslog` is only available on Linux and Macintosh systems. It uses
+  the operating system's "syslog" facility to write log file entries
+  locally or to a remote logging machine. `syslog` offers a variety
+  of configuration options:
+
+```
+  syslog=/dev/log`      - log to the /dev/log device
+  syslog=localhost`     - log to the network logger running on the local machine
+  syslog=localhost:512` - same as above, but using a non-standard port
+  syslog=fredserver,facility=LOG_USER,socktype=SOCK_DRAM`
+                        - Log to LAN-connected server "fredserver" using the facility LOG_USER and datagram packets.
+```
+
+* `http` can be used to log to a remote web server. The server must be
+  properly configured to receive and act on log messages. The option
+  accepts the URL to the web server, and a `method` argument
+  indicating whether the message should be submitted using the GET or
+  POST method.
+
+```
+ http=http://my.server/path/to/logger,method=POST
+```
+
+The `log_format` option provides several alternative formats:
+
+* `color`    - default format providing time, date and a message, using text colors to distinguish different log severities
+* `plain`    - same as above, but monochrome text only
+* `syslog`   - the log level and error message only, allowing the syslog system to attach the time and date
+* `legacy`   - a format similar to the one used by the legacy 2.3 InvokeAI releases.

+## IP-Adapter
+
+[IP-Adapter](https://ip-adapter.github.io) is a tooling that allows for image prompt capabilities with text-to-image diffusion models. IP-Adapter works by analyzing the given image prompt to extract features, then passing those features to the UNet along with any other conditioning provided.

+
+![IP-Adapter + IMG2IMG](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tencent-ailab/IP-Adapter/main/assets/demo/image-to-image.jpg)
+
+#### Installation
+There are several ways to install IP-Adapter models with an existing InvokeAI installation:
+
+1. Through the command line interface launched from the invoke.sh / invoke.bat scripts, option [4] to download models.
+2. Through the Model Manager UI with models from the *Tools* section of [www.models.invoke.ai](https://www.models.invoke.ai). To do this, copy the repo ID from the desired model page, and paste it in the Add Model field of the model manager. **Note** Both the IP-Adapter and the Image Encoder must be installed for IP-Adapter to work. For example, the [SD 1.5 IP-Adapter](https://models.invoke.ai/InvokeAI/ip_adapter_plus_sd15) and [SD1.5 Image Encoder](https://models.invoke.ai/InvokeAI/ip_adapter_sd_image_encoder) must be installed to use IP-Adapter with SD1.5 based models.  
+3. **Advanced -- Not recommended ** Manually downloading the IP-Adapter and Image Encoder files - Image Encoder folders shouid be placed in the `models\any\clip_vision` folders. IP Adapter Model folders should be placed in the relevant `ip-adapter` folder of relevant base model folder of Invoke root directory. For example, for the SDXL IP-Adapter, files should be added to the `model/sdxl/ip_adapter/` folder. 
+
+#### Using IP-Adapter
+
+IP-Adapter can be used by navigating to the *Control Adapters* options and enabling IP-Adapter. 
+
+IP-Adapter requires an image to be used as the Image Prompt. It can also be used in conjunction with text prompts, Image-to-Image, Inpainting, Outpainting, ControlNets and LoRAs.
+
+
+Each IP-Adapter has two settings that are applied to the IP-Adapter:
+
+* Weight - Strength of the IP-Adapter model applied to the generation for the section, defined by start/end
+* Start/End  - 0 represents the start of the generation, 1 represents the end. The Start/end setting controls what steps during the generation process have the IP-Adapter applied.

+# :material-library-shelves: LoRAs & LCM-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. 
+
+## 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
+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.
+
+
+## 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.

+  "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.

-# :material-image-off: NSFW Checker
-
-## The NSFW ("Safety") Checker
-
-The Stable Diffusion image generation models will produce sexual
-imagery if deliberately prompted, and will occasionally produce such
-images when this is not intended. Such images are colloquially known
-as "Not Safe for Work" (NSFW). This behavior is due to the nature of
-the training set that Stable Diffusion was trained on, which culled
-millions of "aesthetic" images from the Internet.
-
-You may not wish to be exposed to these images, and in some
-jurisdictions it may be illegal to publicly distribute such imagery,
-including mounting a publicly-available server that provides
-unfiltered images to the public. Furthermore, the [Stable Diffusion
-weights
-License](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/blob/main/LICENSE-ModelWeights.txt)
-forbids the model from being used to "exploit any of the
-vulnerabilities of a specific group of persons."
-
-For these reasons Stable Diffusion offers a "safety checker," a
-machine learning model trained to recognize potentially disturbing
-imagery. When a potentially NSFW image is detected, the checker will
-blur the image and paste a warning icon on top. The checker can be
-turned on and off on the command line using `--nsfw_checker` and
-`--no-nsfw_checker`.
-
-At installation time, InvokeAI will ask whether the checker should be
-activated by default (neither argument given on the command line). The
-response is stored in the InvokeAI initialization file
-(`invokeai.yaml` in the InvokeAI root directory).  You can change the
-default at any time by opening this file in a text editor and
-changing the line `nsfw_checker:` from true to false or vice-versa:
-
-
-```
-...
-  Features:
-    esrgan: true
-    internet_available: true
-    log_tokenization: false
-    nsfw_checker: true
-    patchmatch: true
-    restore: true
-```
-
-## Caveats
-
-There are a number of caveats that you need to be aware of.
-
-### Accuracy
-
-The checker is [not perfect](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.04610).It will
-occasionally flag innocuous images (false positives), and will
-frequently miss violent and gory imagery (false negatives). It rarely
-fails to flag sexual imagery, but this has been known to happen. For
-these reasons, the InvokeAI team prefers to refer to the software as a
-"NSFW Checker" rather than "safety checker."
-
-### Memory Usage and Performance
-
-The NSFW checker consumes an additional 1.2G of GPU VRAM on top of the
-3.4G of VRAM used by Stable Diffusion v1.5 (this is with
-half-precision arithmetic). This means that the checker will not run
-successfully on GPU cards with less than 6GB VRAM, and will reduce the
-size of the images that you can produce.
-
-The checker also introduces a slight performance penalty. Images will
-take ~1 second longer to generate when the checker is
-activated. Generally this is not noticeable.
-
-### Intermediate Images in the Web UI
-
-The checker only operates on the final image produced by the Stable
-Diffusion algorithm. If you are using the Web UI and have enabled the
-display of intermediate images, you will briefly be exposed to a
-low-resolution (mosaicized) version of the final image before it is
-flagged by the checker and replaced by a fully blurred version. You
-are encouraged to turn **off** intermediate image rendering when you
-are using the checker. Future versions of InvokeAI will apply
-additional blurring to intermediate images when the checker is active.
-
-### Watermarking
-
-InvokeAI does not apply any sort of watermark to images it
-generates. However, it does write metadata into the PNG data area,
-including the prompt used to generate the image and relevant parameter
-settings. These fields can be examined using the `sd-metadata.py`
-script that comes with the InvokeAI package.

 ## Face Fixing
 
-The default face restoration module is GFPGAN. The default upscale is
-Real-ESRGAN. For an alternative face restoration module, see
-[CodeFormer Support](#codeformer-support) below.
+As of InvokeAI 3.0, the easiest way to improve faces created during image generation is through the Inpainting functionality of the Unified Canvas. Simply add the image containing the faces that you would like to improve to the canvas, mask the face to be improved and run the invocation. For best results, make sure to use an inpainting specific model; these are usually identified by the "-inpainting" term in the model name. 
 
-As of version 1.14, environment.yaml will install the Real-ESRGAN package into
-the standard install location for python packages, and will put GFPGAN into a
-subdirectory of "src" in the InvokeAI directory. Upscaling with Real-ESRGAN
-should "just work" without further intervention. Simply indicate the desired scale on

-### Face Restoration
-
-InvokeAI offers alternative two face restoration algorithms,
-[GFPGAN](https://github.com/TencentARC/GFPGAN) and
-[CodeFormer](https://huggingface.co/spaces/sczhou/CodeFormer). These
-algorithms improve the appearance of faces, particularly eyes and

-upload.
-
-To access face restoration, click the "smiley face" icon in the

-dialog that offers a choice between the two algorithm and sliders that
-allow you to adjust their parameters. Alternatively, you may open the
-left-hand accordion panel labeled "Face Restoration" and have the
-restoration algorithm of your choice applied to generated images
-automatically.
-
-
-Like upscaling, there are a number of parameters that adjust the face
-restoration output. GFPGAN has a single parameter, `strength`, which
-controls how much the algorithm is allowed to adjust the
-image. CodeFormer has two parameters, `strength`, and `fidelity`,
-which together control the quality of the output image as described in
-the [CodeFormer project
-page](https://shangchenzhou.com/projects/CodeFormer/). Default values
-are 0.75 for both parameters, which achieves a reasonable balance
-between changing the image too much and not enough.

+
+## Dynamic Prompts
+
+Dynamic Prompts are a powerful feature designed to produce a variety of prompts based on user-defined options. Using a special syntax, you can construct a prompt with multiple possibilities, and the system will automatically generate a series of permutations based on your settings. This is extremely beneficial for ideation, exploring various scenarios, or testing different concepts swiftly and efficiently.
+
+### Structure of a Dynamic Prompt
+
+A Dynamic Prompt comprises of regular text, supplemented with alternatives enclosed within curly braces {} and separated by a vertical bar |. For example: {option1|option2|option3}. The system will then select one of the options to include in the final prompt. This flexible system allows for options to be placed throughout the text as needed.
+
+Furthermore, Dynamic Prompts can designate multiple selections from a single group of options. This feature is triggered by prefixing the options with a numerical value followed by $$. For example, in {2$$option1|option2|option3}, the system will select two distinct options from the set.
+### Creating Dynamic Prompts
+
+To create a Dynamic Prompt, follow these steps:
+
+    Draft your sentence or phrase, identifying words or phrases with multiple possible options.
+    Encapsulate the different options within curly braces {}.
+    Within the braces, separate each option using a vertical bar |.
+    If you want to include multiple options from a single group, prefix with the desired number and $$.
+
+For instance: A {house|apartment|lodge|cottage} in {summer|winter|autumn|spring} designed in {style1|style2|style3}.
+### How Dynamic Prompts Work
+
+Once a Dynamic Prompt is configured, the system generates an array of combinations using the options provided. Each group of options in curly braces is treated independently, with the system selecting one option from each group. For a prefixed set (e.g., 2$$), the system will select two distinct options.
+
+For example, the following prompts could be generated from the above Dynamic Prompt:
+
+    A house in summer designed in style1, style2
+    A lodge in autumn designed in style3, style1
+    A cottage in winter designed in style2, style3
+    And many more!
+
+When the `Combinatorial` setting is on, Invoke will disable the "Images" selection, and generate every combination up until the setting for Max Prompts is reached.
+When the `Combinatorial` setting is off, Invoke will randomly generate combinations up until the setting for Images has been reached.
+
+
+
+### Tips and Tricks for Using Dynamic Prompts
+
+Below are some useful strategies for creating Dynamic Prompts:
+
+    Utilize Dynamic Prompts to generate a wide spectrum of prompts, perfect for brainstorming and exploring diverse ideas.
+    Ensure that the options within a group are contextually relevant to the part of the sentence where they are used. For instance, group building types together, and seasons together.
+    Apply the 2$$ prefix when you want to incorporate more than one option from a single group. This becomes quite handy when mixing and matching different elements.
+    Experiment with different quantities for the prefix. For example, 3$$ will select three distinct options.
+    Be aware of coherence in your prompts. Although the system can generate all possible combinations, not all may semantically make sense. Therefore, carefully choose the options for each group.
+    Always review and fine-tune the generated prompts as needed. While Dynamic Prompts can help you generate a multitude of combinations, the final polishing and refining remain in your hands.
+
+
+## SDXL Prompting
+
+Prompting with SDXL is slightly different than prompting with SD1.5 or SD2.1 models - SDXL expects a prompt _and_ a style. 
+
+
+### Prompting 
 <figure markdown>
 
-### "blue sphere:0.5 red cube:0.5"

+![SDXL prompt boxes in InvokeAI](../assets/prompt_syntax/sdxl-prompt.png)
 
 </figure>
 
-Indeed, removing the word "hybrid" produces an image that is more like what we'd
-expect.
+In the prompt box, enter a positive or negative prompt as you normally would. 
+
+For the style box you can enter a style that you want the image to be generated in. You can use styles from this example list, or any other style you wish: anime, photographic, digital art, comic book, fantasy art, analog film, neon punk, isometric, low poly, origami, line art, cinematic, 3d model, pixel art, etc.
+
+
+### Concatenated Prompts
+
+
+InvokeAI also has the option to concatenate the prompt and style inputs, by pressing the "link" button in the Positive Prompt box. 
+
+This concatenates the prompt & style inputs, and passes the joined prompt and style to the SDXL model. 
+![SDXL concatenated prompt boxes in InvokeAI](../assets/prompt_syntax/sdxl-prompt-concatenated.png)

-but takes some trial and error to achieve the desired effect.

-## **Personalizing Text-to-Image Generation**
-
-You may personalize the generated images to provide your own styles or objects
-by training a new LDM checkpoint and introducing a new vocabulary to the fixed
-model as a (.pt) embeddings file. Alternatively, you may use or train
-HuggingFace Concepts embeddings files (.bin) from
-<https://huggingface.co/sd-concepts-library> and its associated
-notebooks.
-
-## **Hardware and Software Requirements**
-
-You will need a GPU to perform training in a reasonable length of
-time, and at least 12 GB of VRAM. We recommend using the [`xformers`
-library](../installation/070_INSTALL_XFORMERS.md) to accelerate the
-training process further. During training, about ~8 GB is temporarily
-needed in order to store intermediate models, checkpoints and logs.
-
-## **Preparing for Training**
-
-To train, prepare a folder that contains 3-5 images that illustrate
-the object or concept. It is good to provide a variety of examples or
-poses to avoid overtraining the system. Format these images as PNG
-(preferred) or JPG. You do not need to resize or crop the images in
-advance, but for more control you may wish to do so.
-
-Place the training images in a directory on the machine InvokeAI runs
-on. We recommend placing them in a subdirectory of the
-`text-inversion-training-data` folder located in the InvokeAI root
-directory, ordinarily `~/invokeai` (Linux/Mac), or
-`C:\Users\your_name\invokeai` (Windows). For example, to create an
-embedding for the "psychedelic" style, you'd place the training images
-into the directory
-`~invokeai/text-inversion-training-data/psychedelic`.
-
-## **Launching Training Using the Console Front End**
-
-InvokeAI 2.3 and higher comes with a text console-based training front
-end. From within the `invoke.sh`/`invoke.bat` Invoke launcher script,
-start the front end by selecting choice (3):
-
-```sh
-Do you want to generate images using the
-1: Browser-based UI
-2: Command-line interface
-3: Run textual inversion training
-4: Merge models (diffusers type only)
-5: Download and install models
-6: Change InvokeAI startup options
-7: Re-run the configure script to fix a broken install
-8: Open the developer console
-9: Update InvokeAI
-10: Command-line help
-Q: Quit
-
-Please enter 1-10, Q: [1] 
-```
-
-From the command line, with the InvokeAI virtual environment active,
-you can launch the front end with the command `invokeai-ti --gui`.
-
-This will launch a text-based front end that will look like this:
-
-<figure markdown>
-![ti-frontend](../assets/textual-inversion/ti-frontend.png)
-</figure>
-
-The interface is keyboard-based. Move from field to field using
-control-N (^N) to move to the next field and control-P (^P) to the
-previous one. <Tab> and <shift-TAB> work as well. Once a field is
-active, use the cursor keys. In a checkbox group, use the up and down
-cursor keys to move from choice to choice, and <space> to select a
-choice. In a scrollbar, use the left and right cursor keys to increase
-and decrease the value of the scroll. In textfields, type the desired
-values.
-
-The number of parameters may look intimidating, but in most cases the
-predefined defaults work fine. The red circled fields in the above
-illustration are the ones you will adjust most frequently.
-
-### Model Name
-
-This will list all the diffusers models that are currently
-installed. Select the one you wish to use as the basis for your
-embedding. Be aware that if you use a SD-1.X-based model for your
-training, you will only be able to use this embedding with other
-SD-1.X-based models. Similarly, if you train on SD-2.X, you will only
-be able to use the embeddings with models based on SD-2.X.
-
-### Trigger Term
-
-This is the prompt term you will use to trigger the embedding. Type a
-single word or phrase you wish to use as the trigger, example
-"psychedelic" (without angle brackets). Within InvokeAI, you will then
-be able to activate the trigger using the syntax `<psychedelic>`.
-
-### Initializer
-
-This is a single character that is used internally during the training
-process as a placeholder for the trigger term. It defaults to "*" and
-can usually be left alone.
-
-### Resume from last saved checkpoint
-
-As training proceeds, textual inversion will write a series of
-intermediate files that can be used to resume training from where it
-was left off in the case of an interruption. This checkbox will be
-automatically selected if you provide a previously used trigger term
-and at least one checkpoint file is found on disk.
-
-Note that as of 20 January 2023, resume does not seem to be working
-properly due to an issue with the upstream code.
-
-### Data Training Directory
-
-This is the location of the images to be used for training. When you
-select a trigger term like "my-trigger", the frontend will prepopulate
-this field with `~/invokeai/text-inversion-training-data/my-trigger`,
-but you can change the path to wherever you want.
-
-### Output Destination Directory
-
-This is the location of the logs, checkpoint files, and embedding
-files created during training. When you select a trigger term like
-"my-trigger", the frontend will prepopulate this field with
-`~/invokeai/text-inversion-output/my-trigger`, but you can change the
-path to wherever you want.
-
-### Image resolution
-
-The images in the training directory will be automatically scaled to
-the value you use here. For best results, you will want to use the
-same default resolution of the underlying model (512 pixels for
-SD-1.5, 768 for the larger version of SD-2.1).
-
-### Center crop images
-
-If this is selected, your images will be center cropped to make them
-square before resizing them to the desired resolution. Center cropping
-can indiscriminately cut off the top of subjects' heads for portrait
-aspect images, so if you have images like this, you may wish to use a
-photoeditor to manually crop them to a square aspect ratio.
-
-### Mixed precision
-
-Select the floating point precision for the embedding. "no" will
-result in a full 32-bit precision, "fp16" will provide 16-bit
-precision, and "bf16" will provide mixed precision (only available
-when XFormers is used).
-
-### Max training steps
-
-How many steps the training will take before the model converges. Most
-training sets will converge with 2000-3000 steps.
-
-### Batch size
-
-This adjusts how many training images are processed simultaneously in
-each step. Higher values will cause the training process to run more
-quickly, but use more memory. The default size will run with GPUs with
-as little as 12 GB.
-
-### Learning rate
-
-The rate at which the system adjusts its internal weights during
-training. Higher values risk overtraining (getting the same image each
-time), and lower values will take more steps to train a good
-model. The default of 0.0005 is conservative; you may wish to increase
-it to 0.005 to speed up training.
-
-### Scale learning rate by number of GPUs, steps and batch size
-
-If this is selected (the default) the system will adjust the provided
-learning rate to improve performance.
-
-### Use xformers acceleration
-
-This will activate XFormers memory-efficient attention. You need to
-have XFormers installed for this to have an effect.
-
-### Learning rate scheduler
-
-This adjusts how the learning rate changes over the course of
-training. The default "constant" means to use a constant learning rate
-for the entire training session. The other values scale the learning
-rate according to various formulas.
-
-Only "constant" is supported by the XFormers library.
-
-### Gradient accumulation steps
-
-This is a parameter that allows you to use bigger batch sizes than
-your GPU's VRAM would ordinarily accommodate, at the cost of some
-performance.
-
-### Warmup steps
-
-If "constant_with_warmup" is selected in the learning rate scheduler,
-then this provides the number of warmup steps. Warmup steps have a
-very low learning rate, and are one way of preventing early
-overtraining.
-
-## The training run
-
-Start the training run by advancing to the OK button (bottom right)
-and pressing <enter>. A series of progress messages will be displayed
-as the training process proceeds. This may take an hour or two,
-depending on settings and the speed of your system. Various log and
-checkpoint files will be written into the output directory (ordinarily
-`~/invokeai/text-inversion-output/my-model/`)
-
-At the end of successful training, the system will copy the file
-`learned_embeds.bin` into the InvokeAI root directory's `embeddings`
-directory, using a subdirectory named after the trigger token. For
-example, if the trigger token was `psychedelic`, then look for the
-embeddings file in
-`~/invokeai/embeddings/psychedelic/learned_embeds.bin`
-
-You may now launch InvokeAI and try out a prompt that uses the trigger
-term. For example `a plate of banana sushi in <psychedelic> style`.
-
-## **Training with the Command-Line Script**
-
-Training can also be done using a traditional command-line script. It
-can be launched from within the "developer's console", or from the
-command line after activating InvokeAI's virtual environment.
-
-It accepts a large number of arguments, which can be summarized by
-passing the `--help` argument:
-
-```sh
-invokeai-ti --help
-```
-
-Typical usage is shown here:
-```sh
-invokeai-ti \
-       --model=stable-diffusion-1.5 \
-       --resolution=512 \
-       --learnable_property=style \
-       --initializer_token='*' \
-       --placeholder_token='<psychedelic>' \
-       --train_data_dir=/home/lstein/invokeai/training-data/psychedelic \
-       --output_dir=/home/lstein/invokeai/text-inversion-training/psychedelic \
-       --scale_lr \
-       --train_batch_size=8 \
-       --gradient_accumulation_steps=4 \
-       --max_train_steps=3000 \
-       --learning_rate=0.0005 \
-       --resume_from_checkpoint=latest \
-       --lr_scheduler=constant \
-       --mixed_precision=fp16 \
-       --only_save_embeds
-```
-
-## Using Embeddings
-
-After training completes, the resultant embeddings will be saved into your `$INVOKEAI_ROOT/embeddings/<trigger word>/learned_embeds.bin`.
-
-These will be automatically loaded when you start InvokeAI.
-
-Add the trigger word, surrounded by angle brackets, to use that embedding. For example, if your trigger word was `terence`, use `<terence>` in prompts. This is the same syntax used by the HuggingFace concepts library.
-
-**Note:** `.pt` embeddings do not require the angle brackets.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### `Cannot load embedding for <trigger>. It was trained on a model with token dimension 1024, but the current model has token dimension 768`
-
-Messages like this indicate you trained the embedding on a different base model than the currently selected one.
-
-For example, in the error above, the training was done on SD2.1 (768x768) but it was used on SD1.5 (512x512).

+## 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>

+## 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.

+# Textual Inversion Training
+## **Personalizing Text-to-Image Generation**
+
+You may personalize the generated images to provide your own styles or objects
+by training a new LDM checkpoint and introducing a new vocabulary to the fixed
+model as a (.pt) embeddings file. Alternatively, you may use or train
+HuggingFace Concepts embeddings files (.bin) from
+<https://huggingface.co/sd-concepts-library> and its associated
+notebooks.
+
+## **Hardware and Software Requirements**
+
+You will need a GPU to perform training in a reasonable length of
+time, and at least 12 GB of VRAM. We recommend using the [`xformers`
+library](../installation/070_INSTALL_XFORMERS.md) to accelerate the
+training process further. During training, about ~8 GB is temporarily
+needed in order to store intermediate models, checkpoints and logs.
+
+## **Preparing for Training**
+
+To train, prepare a folder that contains 3-5 images that illustrate
+the object or concept. It is good to provide a variety of examples or
+poses to avoid overtraining the system. Format these images as PNG
+(preferred) or JPG. You do not need to resize or crop the images in
+advance, but for more control you may wish to do so.
+
+Place the training images in a directory on the machine InvokeAI runs
+on. We recommend placing them in a subdirectory of the
+`text-inversion-training-data` folder located in the InvokeAI root
+directory, ordinarily `~/invokeai` (Linux/Mac), or
+`C:\Users\your_name\invokeai` (Windows). For example, to create an
+embedding for the "psychedelic" style, you'd place the training images
+into the directory
+`~invokeai/text-inversion-training-data/psychedelic`.
+
+## **Launching Training Using the Console Front End**
+
+InvokeAI 2.3 and higher comes with a text console-based training front
+end. From within the `invoke.sh`/`invoke.bat` Invoke launcher script,
+start training tool selecting choice (3):
+
+```sh
+1 "Generate images with a browser-based interface"
+2 "Explore InvokeAI nodes using a command-line interface"
+3 "Textual inversion training"
+4 "Merge models (diffusers type only)"
+5 "Download and install models"
+6 "Change InvokeAI startup options"
+7 "Re-run the configure script to fix a broken install or to complete a major upgrade"
+8 "Open the developer console"
+9 "Update InvokeAI"
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can select option (8) or from the command line, with the InvokeAI virtual environment active,
+you can then launch the front end with the command `invokeai-ti --gui`.
+
+This will launch a text-based front end that will look like this:
+
+<figure markdown>
+![ti-frontend](../assets/textual-inversion/ti-frontend.png)
+</figure>
+
+The interface is keyboard-based. Move from field to field using
+control-N (^N) to move to the next field and control-P (^P) to the
+previous one. <Tab> and <shift-TAB> work as well. Once a field is
+active, use the cursor keys. In a checkbox group, use the up and down
+cursor keys to move from choice to choice, and <space> to select a
+choice. In a scrollbar, use the left and right cursor keys to increase
+and decrease the value of the scroll. In textfields, type the desired
+values.
+
+The number of parameters may look intimidating, but in most cases the
+predefined defaults work fine. The red circled fields in the above
+illustration are the ones you will adjust most frequently.
+
+### Model Name
+
+This will list all the diffusers models that are currently
+installed. Select the one you wish to use as the basis for your
+embedding. Be aware that if you use a SD-1.X-based model for your
+training, you will only be able to use this embedding with other
+SD-1.X-based models. Similarly, if you train on SD-2.X, you will only
+be able to use the embeddings with models based on SD-2.X.
+
+### Trigger Term
+
+This is the prompt term you will use to trigger the embedding. Type a
+single word or phrase you wish to use as the trigger, example
+"psychedelic" (without angle brackets). Within InvokeAI, you will then
+be able to activate the trigger using the syntax `<psychedelic>`.
+
+### Initializer
+
+This is a single character that is used internally during the training
+process as a placeholder for the trigger term. It defaults to "*" and
+can usually be left alone.
+
+### Resume from last saved checkpoint
+
+As training proceeds, textual inversion will write a series of
+intermediate files that can be used to resume training from where it
+was left off in the case of an interruption. This checkbox will be
+automatically selected if you provide a previously used trigger term
+and at least one checkpoint file is found on disk.
+
+Note that as of 20 January 2023, resume does not seem to be working
+properly due to an issue with the upstream code.
+
+### Data Training Directory
+
+This is the location of the images to be used for training. When you
+select a trigger term like "my-trigger", the frontend will prepopulate
+this field with `~/invokeai/text-inversion-training-data/my-trigger`,
+but you can change the path to wherever you want.
+
+### Output Destination Directory
+
+This is the location of the logs, checkpoint files, and embedding
+files created during training. When you select a trigger term like
+"my-trigger", the frontend will prepopulate this field with
+`~/invokeai/text-inversion-output/my-trigger`, but you can change the
+path to wherever you want.
+
+### Image resolution
+
+The images in the training directory will be automatically scaled to
+the value you use here. For best results, you will want to use the
+same default resolution of the underlying model (512 pixels for
+SD-1.5, 768 for the larger version of SD-2.1).
+
+### Center crop images
+
+If this is selected, your images will be center cropped to make them
+square before resizing them to the desired resolution. Center cropping
+can indiscriminately cut off the top of subjects' heads for portrait
+aspect images, so if you have images like this, you may wish to use a
+photoeditor to manually crop them to a square aspect ratio.
+
+### Mixed precision
+
+Select the floating point precision for the embedding. "no" will
+result in a full 32-bit precision, "fp16" will provide 16-bit
+precision, and "bf16" will provide mixed precision (only available
+when XFormers is used).
+
+### Max training steps
+
+How many steps the training will take before the model converges. Most
+training sets will converge with 2000-3000 steps.
+
+### Batch size
+
+This adjusts how many training images are processed simultaneously in
+each step. Higher values will cause the training process to run more
+quickly, but use more memory. The default size will run with GPUs with
+as little as 12 GB.
+
+### Learning rate
+
+The rate at which the system adjusts its internal weights during
+training. Higher values risk overtraining (getting the same image each
+time), and lower values will take more steps to train a good
+model. The default of 0.0005 is conservative; you may wish to increase
+it to 0.005 to speed up training.
+
+### Scale learning rate by number of GPUs, steps and batch size
+
+If this is selected (the default) the system will adjust the provided
+learning rate to improve performance.
+
+### Use xformers acceleration
+
+This will activate XFormers memory-efficient attention. You need to
+have XFormers installed for this to have an effect.
+
+### Learning rate scheduler
+
+This adjusts how the learning rate changes over the course of
+training. The default "constant" means to use a constant learning rate
+for the entire training session. The other values scale the learning
+rate according to various formulas.
+
+Only "constant" is supported by the XFormers library.
+
+### Gradient accumulation steps
+
+This is a parameter that allows you to use bigger batch sizes than
+your GPU's VRAM would ordinarily accommodate, at the cost of some
+performance.
+
+### Warmup steps
+
+If "constant_with_warmup" is selected in the learning rate scheduler,
+then this provides the number of warmup steps. Warmup steps have a
+very low learning rate, and are one way of preventing early
+overtraining.
+
+## The training run
+
+Start the training run by advancing to the OK button (bottom right)
+and pressing <enter>. A series of progress messages will be displayed
+as the training process proceeds. This may take an hour or two,
+depending on settings and the speed of your system. Various log and
+checkpoint files will be written into the output directory (ordinarily
+`~/invokeai/text-inversion-output/my-model/`)
+
+At the end of successful training, the system will copy the file
+`learned_embeds.bin` into the InvokeAI root directory's `embeddings`
+directory, using a subdirectory named after the trigger token. For
+example, if the trigger token was `psychedelic`, then look for the
+embeddings file in
+`~/invokeai/embeddings/psychedelic/learned_embeds.bin`
+
+You may now launch InvokeAI and try out a prompt that uses the trigger
+term. For example `a plate of banana sushi in <psychedelic> style`.
+
+## **Training with the Command-Line Script**
+
+Training can also be done using a traditional command-line script. It
+can be launched from within the "developer's console", or from the
+command line after activating InvokeAI's virtual environment.
+
+It accepts a large number of arguments, which can be summarized by
+passing the `--help` argument:
+
+```sh
+invokeai-ti --help
+```
+
+Typical usage is shown here:
+```sh
+invokeai-ti \
+       --model=stable-diffusion-1.5 \
+       --resolution=512 \
+       --learnable_property=style \
+       --initializer_token='*' \
+       --placeholder_token='<psychedelic>' \
+       --train_data_dir=/home/lstein/invokeai/training-data/psychedelic \
+       --output_dir=/home/lstein/invokeai/text-inversion-training/psychedelic \
+       --scale_lr \
+       --train_batch_size=8 \
+       --gradient_accumulation_steps=4 \
+       --max_train_steps=3000 \
+       --learning_rate=0.0005 \
+       --resume_from_checkpoint=latest \
+       --lr_scheduler=constant \
+       --mixed_precision=fp16 \
+       --only_save_embeds
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### `Cannot load embedding for <trigger>. It was trained on a model with token dimension 1024, but the current model has token dimension 768`
+
+Messages like this indicate you trained the embedding on a different base model than the currently selected one.
+
+For example, in the error above, the training was done on SD2.1 (768x768) but it was used on SD1.5 (512x512).

+
+# 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
+ffe2a115-b492-493c-afff-7679aa034b50.png:

+    "width": 1024
+}
+```
+
+You may list multiple files on the command line.
+
+## **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
+by another. It also works on images generated by older versions of
+InvokeAI, going way back to version 1.
+
+This script has an interactive mode only. The following example shows
+it in action:
+
+```bash
+$ invokeai-import-images
+===============================================================================
+This script will import images generated by earlier versions of
+InvokeAI into the currently installed root directory:

+## **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.

+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.
