This is a fork of
[CompVis/stable-diffusion](https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion),
the open source text-to-image generator. It provides a streamlined
process with various new features and options to aid the image
generation process. It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux machines, with
GPU cards with as little as 4 GB of RAM. It provides both a polished
Web interface (see below), and an easy-to-use command-line interface.

_Note: This fork is rapidly evolving. Please use the
[Issues](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/issues) tab to report bugs and make feature
requests. Be sure to use the provided templates. They will help aid diagnose issues faster._

### Installation
This fork is supported across multiple platforms. You can find individual installation instructions
below.
- #### [Linux](docs/installation/INSTALL_LINUX.md)
- #### [Windows](docs/installation/INSTALL_WINDOWS.md)
- #### [Macintosh](docs/installation/INSTALL_MAC.md)
### Hardware Requirements
#### System
You wil need one of the following:
- An NVIDIA-based graphics card with 4 GB or more VRAM memory.
- An Apple computer with an M1 chip.
#### Memory
- At least 12 GB Main Memory RAM.
#### Disk
- At least 6 GB of free disk space for the machine learning model, Python, and all its dependencies.
**Note**
If you have a Nvidia 10xx series card (e.g. the 1080ti), please
run the dream script in full-precision mode as shown below.
Similarly, specify full-precision mode on Apple M1 hardware.
Precision is auto configured based on the device. If however you encounter
errors like 'expected type Float but found Half' or 'not implemented for Half'
you can try starting `invoke.py` with the `--precision=float32` flag:
```bash
(ldm) ~/stable-diffusion$ python scripts/invoke.py --precision=float32
```

### Latest Changes
- v2.0.0 (9 October 2022)
- `dream.py` script renamed `invoke.py`. A `dream.py` script wrapper remains
for backward compatibility.
- Completely new WebGUI - launch with `python3 scripts/invoke.py --web`
- Support for <a href="https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/blob/main/docs/features/INPAINTING.md">inpainting</a> and <a href="https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/blob/main/docs/features/OUTPAINTING.md">outpainting</a>
- img2img runs on all k* samplers
- Support for <a href="https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/blob/main/docs/features/PROMPTS.md#negative-and-unconditioned-prompts">negative prompts</a>
- Support for CodeFormer face reconstruction
- Support for Textual Inversion on Macintoshes
- Support in both WebGUI and CLI for <a href="https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/blob/main/docs/features/POSTPROCESS.md">post-processing of previously-generated images</a>
using facial reconstruction, ESRGAN upscaling, outcropping (similar to DALL-E infinite canvas),
and "embiggen" upscaling. See the `!fix` command.
- New `--hires` option on `invoke>` line allows <a href="https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/blob/main/docs/features/CLI.m#this-is-an-example-of-txt2img">larger images to be created without duplicating elements</a>, at the cost of some performance.
- New `--perlin` and `--threshold` options allow you to add and control variation
during image generation (see <a href="https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/blob/main/docs/features/OTHER.md#thresholding-and-perlin-noise-initialization-options">Thresholding and Perlin Noise Initialization</a>
- Extensive metadata now written into PNG files, allowing reliable regeneration of images
and tweaking of previous settings.
- Command-line completion in `invoke.py` now works on Windows, Linux and Mac platforms.
- Improved <a href="https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/blob/main/docs/features/CLI.m">command-line completion behavior</a>.
New commands added:
* List command-line history with `!history`
* Search command-line history with `!search`
* Clear history with `!clear`
- Deprecated `--full_precision` / `-F`. Simply omit it and `invoke.py` will auto
configure. To switch away from auto use the new flag like `--precision=float32`.
- v1.14 (11 September 2022)
- Memory optimizations for small-RAM cards. 512x512 now possible on 4 GB GPUs.
- Full support for Apple hardware with M1 or M2 chips.
- Add "seamless mode" for circular tiling of image. Generates beautiful effects.
([prixt](https://github.com/prixt)).
- Inpainting support.
- Improved web server GUI.
- Lots of code and documentation cleanups.
- v1.13 (3 September 2022
- Support image variations (see [VARIATIONS](docs/features/VARIATIONS.md)
([Kevin Gibbons](https://github.com/bakkot) and many contributors and reviewers)
- Supports a Google Colab notebook for a standalone server running on Google hardware
[Arturo Mendivil](https://github.com/artmen1516)
- WebUI supports GFPGAN/ESRGAN facial reconstruction and upscaling
[Kevin Gibbons](https://github.com/bakkot)
- WebUI supports incremental display of in-progress images during generation
[Kevin Gibbons](https://github.com/bakkot)
- A new configuration file scheme that allows new models (including upcoming
stable-diffusion-v1.5) to be added without altering the code.
([David Wager](https://github.com/maddavid12))
- Can specify --grid on invoke.py command line as the default.
- Miscellaneous internal bug and stability fixes.
- Works on M1 Apple hardware.
- Multiple bug fixes.
