Model Weight Files

The model weight files ('*.ckpt') are the Stable Diffusion "secret sauce". They are the product of training the AI on millions of captioned images gathered from multiple sources.

Originally there was only a single Stable Diffusion weights file, which many people named model.ckpt. Now there are dozens or more that have been "fine tuned" to provide particulary styles, genres, or other features. InvokeAI allows you to install and run multiple model weight files and switch between them quickly in the command-line and web interfaces.

This manual will guide you through installing and configuring model weight files.

Base Models

InvokeAI comes with support for a good initial set of models listed in the model configuration file configs/models.yaml. They are:

Model Weight File Description DOWNLOAD FROM
stable-diffusion-1.5 v1-5-pruned-emaonly.ckpt Most recent version of base Stable Diffusion model https://huggingface.co/runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5
stable-diffusion-1.4 sd-v1-4.ckpt Previous version of base Stable Diffusion model https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v-1-4-original
inpainting-1.5 sd-v1-5-inpainting.ckpt Stable Diffusion 1.5 model specialized for inpainting https://huggingface.co/runwayml/stable-diffusion-inpainting
waifu-diffusion-1.3 model-epoch09-float32.ckpt Stable Diffusion 1.4 trained to produce anime images https://huggingface.co/hakurei/waifu-diffusion-v1-3
<all models> vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.ckpt A fine-tune file add-on file that improves face generation https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse-original/

Note that these files are covered by an "Ethical AI" license which forbids certain uses. You will need to create an account on the Hugging Face website and accept the license terms before you can access the files.

The predefined configuration file for InvokeAI (located at configs/models.yaml) provides entries for each of these weights files. stable-diffusion-1.5 is the default model used, and we strongly recommend that you install this weights file if nothing else.

Community-Contributed Models

There are too many to list here and more are being contributed every day. Hugging Face maintains a fast-growing repository of fine-tune (".bin") models that can be imported into InvokeAI by passing the --embedding_path option to the invoke.py command.

This page hosts a large list of official and unofficial Stable Diffusion models and where they can be obtained.

Installation

There are three ways to install weights files:

  1. During InvokeAI installation, the configure_invokeai.py script can download them for you.

  2. You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to import, configure and modify new models files.

  3. You can download the files manually and add the appropriate entries to models.yaml.

Installation via configure_invokeai.py

This is the most automatic way. Run scripts/configure_invokeai.py from the console. It will ask you to select which models to download and lead you through the steps of setting up a Hugging Face account if you haven't done so already.

To start, run python scripts/configure_invokeai.py from within the InvokeAI: directory

** LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR WEIGHT FILES **

1. To download the Stable Diffusion weight files you need to read and accept the
  CreativeML Responsible AI license. If you have not already done so, please
  create an account using the "Sign Up" button:

  https://huggingface.co

  You will need to verify your email address as part of the HuggingFace
  registration process.

2. After creating the account, login under your account and accept
  the license terms located here:

  https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v-1-4-original

Press <enter> when you are ready to continue:
...
```

When the script is complete, you will find the downloaded weights files in models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1 and a matching configuration file in configs/models.yaml.

You can run the script again to add any models you didn't select the first time. Note that as a safety measure the script will never remove a previously-installed weights file. You will have to do this manually.

Installation via the CLI

You can install a new model, including any of the community-supported ones, via the command-line client's !import_model command.

  1. First download the desired model weights file and place it under models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/. You may rename the weights file to something more memorable if you wish. Record the path of the weights file (e.g. models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/arabian-nights-1.0.ckpt)

  2. Launch the invoke.py CLI with python scripts/invoke.py.

  3. At the invoke> command-line, enter the command !import_model <path to model>. For example:

    invoke> !import_model models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/arabian-nights-1.0.ckpt

    !!! tip "the CLI supports file path autocompletion"

     Type a bit of the path name and hit ++tab++ in order to get a choice of
     possible completions.
    

    !!! tip "on Windows, you can drag model files onto the command-line"

     Once you have typed in `!import_model `, you can drag the model `.ckpt` file
     onto the command-line to insert the model path. This way, you don't need to
     type it or copy/paste.
    
  4. Follow the wizard's instructions to complete installation as shown in the example here:

    !!! example ""

    ```text
    invoke> !import_model models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/arabian-nights-1.0.ckpt
    >> Model import in process. Please enter the values needed to configure this model:
    
    Name for this model: arabian-nights
    Description of this model: Arabian Nights Fine Tune v1.0
    Configuration file for this model: configs/stable-diffusion/v1-inference.yaml
    Default image width: 512
    Default image height: 512
    >> New configuration:
    arabian-nights:
      config: configs/stable-diffusion/v1-inference.yaml
      description: Arabian Nights Fine Tune v1.0
      height: 512
      weights: models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/arabian-nights-1.0.ckpt
      width: 512
    OK to import [n]? y
    >> Caching model stable-diffusion-1.4 in system RAM
    >> Loading waifu-diffusion from models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/arabian-nights-1.0.ckpt
      | LatentDiffusion: Running in eps-prediction mode
      | DiffusionWrapper has 859.52 M params.

      | Making attention of type 'vanilla' with 512 in_channels
      | Using faster float16 precision
    ```
    

If you've previously installed the fine-tune VAE file vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.ckpt, the wizard will also ask you if you want to add this VAE to the model.

The appropriate entry for this model will be added to configs/models.yaml and it will be available to use in the CLI immediately.

The CLI has additional commands for switching among, viewing, editing, deleting the available models. These are described in Command Line Client, but the two most frequently-used are !models and !switch <name of model>. The first prints a table of models that InvokeAI knows about and their load status. The second will load the requested model and lets you switch back and forth quickly among loaded models.

Manually editing of configs/models.yaml

If you are comfortable with a text editor then you may simply edit models.yaml directly.

First you need to download the desired .ckpt file and place it in models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1 as descirbed in step #1 in the previous section. Record the path to the weights file, e.g. models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/arabian-nights-1.0.ckpt

Then using a text editor (e.g. the Windows Notepad application), open the file configs/models.yaml, and add a new stanza that follows this model:

arabian-nights-1.0:
  description: A great fine-tune in Arabian Nights style
  weights: ./models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/arabian-nights-1.0.ckpt
  config: ./configs/stable-diffusion/v1-inference.yaml
  width: 512
  height: 512
  vae: ./models/ldm/stable-diffusion-v1/vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.ckpt
  default: false
name description
arabian-nights-1.0 This is the name of the model that you will refer to from within the CLI and the WebGUI when you need to load and use the model.
description Any description that you want to add to the model to remind you what it is.
weights Relative path to the .ckpt weights file for this model.
config This is the confusingly-named configuration file for the model itself. Use ./configs/stable-diffusion/v1-inference.yaml unless the model happens to need a custom configuration, in which case the place you downloaded it from will tell you what to use instead. For example, the runwayML custom inpainting model requires the file configs/stable-diffusion/v1-inpainting-inference.yaml. This is already inclued in the InvokeAI distribution and is configured automatically for you by the configure_invokeai.py script.
vae If you want to add a VAE file to the model, then enter its path here.
width, height This is the width and height of the images used to train the model. Currently they are always 512 and 512.

Save the models.yaml and relaunch InvokeAI. The new model should now be available for your use.
