Which Stable Diffusion Version is Right for You?

in this video we're going to answer your question which stable diffusion versions or a generative AI versions is work for you and from beginning we have a three different primarily group of those one that it does not require any installations it's more as a service provide as applications or on the web services and you may be familiar with those like PR stability AI Dolly 3 me Journey night Cafe Mage and we'll look a bit closer on them later but those ones is other services most of them using stable diffusion is an engine on a back end and many of them will use it the models that free available downloaded if you use local installations so this is one group another group it is um come as a packages so it's meaning you still you need to install on your local machine but it's much easy installations and it also help managing for you those packages so you almost don't need go inside the file structure and try something twink and modify by yourself so it's kind of remove this deeper knowledge and we have third one group which are mostly hands on in many cases it will require you to go modify some files to understand how it's work but of course with the all this great powerful power come great responsibilities and responsibilities to understand how the code work and mostly with those programs it's where I receive a lot of questions from people asking question like my stuff does not install it I hav't error this and all this that one category it's provide the name the most power you can have it however it is also require from you the better understanding of the system so let's go ahead from all of them and look around and by the way just one small quotation on the top with a self- installations we also will look on a Google collab or similar Services which is not host on your machine but it will require somewhat understanding how it's work okay let's go look on the services that's available online and we'll say the one of the most easiest to use of course it's a lot of stuff beginning with a stable diffusion and their side stability AI where you can actually go in there and try to use the image video audio so they have a different models you can play around like image you do need prepaid credits so they have some free but mostly you'll need buy the service from them and tell you true many services like this will give you some credits but they also hope you will buy more crats and use them little bit not stable diffusion but services that will provide you a quite bit easy way to work it is one of course DOL 3 and it is familiar if you're using before like open chat or chat GPT inside this is same from open a company who does and by the way Del three functionality also available for the premium or if you pay And subscribe on chat GPT so you can just type in and render image same things what you can do with Del 3 however how said this is the pay service so you actually needed paid to create some art however you don't need to purchase from open AI because copilot um from Microsoft it is using chat GPT do 3 Microsoft invest I don't remember how much money but they own like most half of the company open a if I'm right and I can be wrong on this but with this you can access co-pilot from Microsoft and have all the functionality of CH GPT and Di 3 in here so don't just run and purchase that one okay another one is big in the generative art and this kind of the own system they using their own interesed model it's a mid journey and mid Journey did before a huge Splash and boom between All Digital artist they start freaking out because if you look on this it's generating stunning work and it's creating a better and better the only withdraw with a mid journey us it they heavily rely before on the Discord however with new MID Journey Alpha they're converting more towards just a web interface so you don't need have it Discord for this which is make much easier to create and manipulate with the images like using your own photos and other stuff and mid Journey on my opinion they one of the top quality of the image that can generate but of course the Del 3 come very close in some cases extremely close even not b in some cases and if we look again on some stable diffusion models that you can use it like stxl or um new turbo they very impressive models they are a little bit narrow compared to Mid Journey but it's a reason it's how mid Journey utilize uh their own model and I believe it m Journey have it multiple clusters which is depend on your prompt it will pull out special data uh data set and work on this but again that is a black box I don't know what is going inside the mid journey I just know this is very easy to use and you tie prompt on top and you can get it a very stunning images okay beside this kind of different now we're going to move towards stable diffusion actual versus and one of course you can see it's a nice cafe and I work with nice uh night Cafe for a long time um big plus about night Cafe they actually constantly try to upkeep it with a current Trend so like right here you can create videos you can even train your own model with your own photos and create all the stuff so it's there they utilizing latest SD XL models and everything they um they utilize credits for this so you need kind of collect you can purchase them however like I have it over thousand credits and I did not purchase any of them so they constantly give you like every day they give you credits you can collect them you can participate in speed activities they have it like create this create that and they award you with this so you can play around with this and Get It Free credit so how say I never purchase from them but I don't use them heavy if I do I probably will purchase from just for the reason to pay the developers snep services but General that is a great things to try to start and they have it very um many models inside here as well if you go and create mode you can see right here they have it all the prompts all different models animations and so on so this is very nice application and it utilize stable defusion you don't need to do any installations here only input you can do if you want to use photos or other things very similar to this it's a mage dospace the difference is between them Mage do space little bit more pushing the boundaries and I mean you can reender anything well to some extent but you can render those um not safe for workplace images you can render some other stuff and they have all tons of models of course majority of the models come from areas like C EI where you can go and download by yourself uh different models and the Civ it's very nice collection so there where people put it free and some pay models very high quality models of them and lurus and other things so we'll look on this little bit later when we going look on more local installation but General all the models you can find here it is with Aji Mage uh Mage that space and Mage space I don't believe it they utilizing their own models they're all models from other areas but it is very wide collection of them so you can see right here you can scroll and see how many notice they all upgrade to Pro so what is meaning I'm on free and with a mage do space you can try for free you can uh render as many as you want it if you utilize sdxl or stable diffusion 2.1 or two uh 2.1 or 1.5 so then you can render as many as you want but if you want to utilize anything more like inversions uh control net lorus or different models then you do need it uh upgrade to Pro and it's not very expensive but again that is enough money but try here stable diffusion basic you can do this here as well as well and next another in this kind of categories it's Leonardo that and I work with leard that you have a long time I like uh how they interface you can create your models I trained my models here I did a lot of stuff so very similar to other ones and this is we come to the the point that many services online they will be provide almost exactly same functionality and the reason is why because they're running stable diffusion on a back end with a very similar installation so you won't see that big different what you will see it's different how many credits they give it what kind of models they will allow you to do sometimes they have their own tweak like for example Leonardo AI you can have it little bit better on out painting tool and other things as well they provide special texturing 3D texturing which is kind of very cool on the model does not work very well but it's nice toy to play around with this and you can see as well they have some different liit layout so it depend what you like it but General they will be very similar and I won't go through all all this different because I'm daily receive um emails from other services say hey we just open a new one can you show can you do test or other things and it's a lot of them I mean almost anyone who have some GPU farm and convert maybe from Bitcoins now to this they can can open and create another service online for you just select see which one you like it what interface you use it but this is our first category category where you don't need to install with stable diffusion all what you need to do you just go there play around most of them have it very good tutorials online interactive so they can lead if you don't know how to use it I have it uh videos about link will be down below and speak about link down below right here what you can see all this links will be down in description so don't worry about remembering name or anything go down there and click and as long you're going through the descriptions and if you're not yet subscribed to my Channel please do so your uh subscribe your likes is help a lot to work with this evil YouTube algorithm to help my channel a little bit growing and pushing a little bit more and I will greatly appreciate if you do so okay now let's go to another category and another category it is when you require local installations on your machine but you can do with a packaging system and when I speak about packaging system it is very in some case easy right here for example Pinocchio you go you just download one file you click and it's install it and it's multiple Services there will do great job for example right here we have it Pinocchio another one is stability Matrix and just showing example so right here for we have it Pinocchio and you can notice when it's run in a screen actually you know let's go on the Pinocchio screen so we can preview here and you just run this application and notice I have it is install it stable Cascade you just install very easy uh packages by going for example in Discovery and you can see which are five different versions this way you kind of don't need go and try to install all the different um like git like Python and everything all libraries this is will handle for you most of them and by this it's just easy kind of install however we have a little bit problem with this because it does for you job on the background and install all different packages or if you use in Pinocchio or for example if you're using like in a stability Matrix you can see right here all this packages install it's fine but in many times they will have their own installation so it's meaning you need require much larger space of the hard drive they try sometimes fixing this by going and creating sub folders packages like right here you can see stability MATC it's create packages and inside packages it's have all of this what install like confi Focus for Forge and other ones don't worry about all those names we'll little bit cover them when we go with individual installations but you can see all the different flavors of stable diffusion they installed there and they try minimize some of the Space by creating a general area for the model so all of these different type of the installations can address same model same checkpoints same lers so you kind of try to save on a space um as I said before this is kind of nice bad things because configuration in one area if something going wrong it's possibly can go wrong for everything and as well it does not allow you some flexibility like for example in stability Matrix when you run one instance of the stable diffusion it doesn't allow you run anything else like not comy UI or other things so it's say say Hey you utilize already some enough memory we don't allow you to run anything else if you run by yourself you can run unstable diffusion and comi at the same time you just need to be smart not to utilize both of them or render at the same time so you depend on your GPU memory you have more control about what you want to do here is a little bit locked and other things sometimes if Library get not updated it's maybe having some problems with this and it's much harder to find where is locating what I mean by harder to find like right here if you look on the stability Matrix right here you can see it's create packages and inside packages we can go inside and they have of course same structure before you have it models and inside models you have it same kind of models but if you look on top have another Global models and sometimes get confusing where does the checkpoint going does it going to this directory or this and some of those special addon extensions like an automatic 1111 they will says install in specific directory or go there so it you still do handson but it's much harder to navigate because you don't know specifically where is located and it's look different but it does not happen very often so if you think you want run independently from internet you want to run on your local machine then I would recommend for you to look on this type of packages that install it and personally I'm using Pinocchio I use stability Matrix different between two of them they are very similar but Pinocchio provide you I will say more variety of different packages and not just a lock to generative image AI kind of application so it's provide you way more uh interesting ways you can play around with different AIS with a uh Pinocchio the stability Matrix provide little bit better interface in my opinion but they only lock to what uh generative image applications they currently available in the packaging so they both kind of plus and minuses I will say if you're going just with care about generate images and you want to use like comy UI or want to use it Forge uh stable or you want to use uh stable diffusion automatic 111 some like this or in walk AI if you want to use any of those packages or at least try to use them then I will say the stability Matrix is probably work better for you if you think you will do something more than just images then definitely try Pinocchio and also I found out in a Pinocchio they are little bit ahead of the stability m when it's new new kind of package appear or anything so they little bit faster to put it on but it does not guarantee that is necessary W have any problems so this is cover some of the package systems and of course this is not packaging not just applied like to this collection so you can have it packages with different um installation for example if you try to install like com fi a lot of time comi come in one pocket you just single click and install or this stable Forge or this one is even only one click so you just downloaded one package and it contains everything inside it's have it python inside it's have it um FFM Peg it's have it all necessary components just inside all package so it's very easy for you just one click and install so it's will take care of on this problem with packages as before and you notice I says it will install python so I end up right now have it six seven eight installations of same python because each package installing python locally they don't want interference with other stuff and in this case it's not necessarily um efficient for a hard drive because now I have it all different versions python of course they after updating or they pull out latest code from G when I launch them in a try upkeep but again why I need to update eight times um and I understand why they doing it's all for good things because they want isolate environment you know you don't want to have it some environment sharing with something because other application may affect it and now you don't work and it's much easier to do this way with creating all these containers if you if you're familiar with this terminology create container for your specific application and run there so I understand why they doing this but in many case I kind of not necessarily agree with this approach I'm more for the optimizations when it's going with this but General right here you have a this package installations okay let's go back to uh now individuals installations and individual installations where you have it specific flavor or spe specific uh pack of the stable diffusion and you like to install it and there you have it um many Nuance very nice upcomer and and you have it kind of like old the dogs I don't know how you you call them and of course one of them first who I remember when it's come up everyone was so excited because it is the first stable diffusion where you can run in UI without where this command line stuff and everything and it was automatic 1111 it's still up to date it's still going very strong and I still think it does provide nice interface that many things copying this very easy access it's have a huge library on the extensions you can do animations you can do face everything and it's most important very many videos tutorials there online for you to check them if you have any problem so it's a lot of documentation lot of things support so this is kind of nice but that is utilize the classic kind of UI interface me classic you have it your prompts you have it your image and you have it your sliders so this is um generic almost 90% or 99 even maybe per of the stable diffusion interface will look like this and if we want tap a little bit more to Modern approach with a node approach then you probably want to look on comy UI comy UI utilize a nodes or you can see right here as a segment where you can connect between them that is provide very good visual understanding of the flow inside a comi and it's provide you more flexibility how you can set for example in automatic 1111 you cannot very easy go and create connect between width and height you cannot very easy take it another module you need install extension and if extension supported it may give you ability to add control net or other elements so you kind of lock almost to this area with a comy UI you had much more flexibility to put specific module custom module or anything and utilize the connections and create that flow I will say if you are more in experimental if you like to play with combinations without worry too much about coding then comy UI probably is your tool because it is allowed you visually see how the all everything flow how they connecting between nodes and beside it does have buildin some protection so you cannot connect some like V for example to Output image or you cannot connect clip to the uh for example um let's say X or Y or some other sizes so they I have some uh basic check approval on not connections and it's very nice I will put it link down below for you if you're interested com UI I have some videos for the beginning how you can start with this and and just simple explanations what you should do so go ahead check that be sure you're there okay and right there same to install this it's very easy just go to the links as provided down below and just click and install locally and of course as you installing this you will require formatical LEL comei or other things you will require some basic things installed in your machine and basically what I mean like a Python language and of course the Python language is very easy you just go to the python.org download link down below and you can download latest versions there also I recommend for you to go and download at git the git is a application if you're not familiar that allowed you to connect repository remote repository and pull out the files from this also it's helped to update very easy and automated all of this installation of news new file so this is think about connector to remote Repository and of course as you're downloading other things I will recommend a couple other applications for you one it is from tapaz live I do like a lot and I would did compare with this photo Ai and video AI I did purchase by myself they did not send me any copy of this I wish they did it was kind of nice but you can find a lot of often time on sale and I'll provide link down below for you and uh this is actually to upscale images I know stable diffusion had upscale inside but almost every time when I use it I not happy with the result it does upscale but it does not give you for some reason this correct upscale it already moove too much details because Smo on this this one I found it's work great with images and with video what is most important right now because I do more with the AI videos this has allowed me to change frame rate to allow meute change scale and everything so I highly recommend this one another ones which I recommend it is get it shter encoder link down below it's free application but it's allowed you to take for example a sequence of images and combine them in one video or take video and put it in a sequence of images which is very useful when you start using with control net another and you want use it segmentation of the file but if you don't have it this it's fine as long you have it this and many will require for any animations with stable diffusion it is FFM Peg again that is a free you can download this application it's all what does it's allowed you through the API calls disassemble image to uh video to multiple images or combine all images in one so this is kind of support applications that I recommend for you to go and download and on the last what another things I want to show you to install it so we have it comy UI we have it automatic 1111 you can very easy install on a package and be sure check my videos and tutorials on how to do this if you're not familiar with this and also next one it is new it's a forge stable Forge uh you can see webia Forge this is newer one it's a flavor on automatic 1111 so they just add additional libraries which does work faster and it's work actually faster with older cards so it's focusing on this and we have a test I have it IR running a 3090 um card and uh Nvidia and have it other friends running 287 think older and I don't see that much different in performance on my car but on his make a huge differ and also mine have a 24 GB the ram he have it on 8 GB so on the older and smaller vam cards the forages make a big difference so if you have older cards and you have a problem to running something new like sdxl model or other things be sure you're getting the web Forge okay this is very easy very simple installation this is what I was showing one click package install it um but and it will install it um git and python by itself in a that specific container so if you have it installed in other areas that will install local and because it does install in this container for this applications it also will kind of find the PATH so you don't need to worry too much about this keep this in mind and let's r Dr up with last things last step it is a collab from the Google and reason why I say a last because sometimes maybe you don't want to install locally but you want TN around you want work with Cod and everything and uh by using not pads and you can see right here I have my some of my notepads from all from Summer of last year almost year ago wow okay so some of the notebooks you can create it and you can put it for free you can use it Google collab when you can run the code the I will say it's a last step because this is will remove it and a Google collab you can have a free service so they have a pay tier but free tier will work just fine just little bit slow maybe and you can run here but you cannot run every package what you have it there you need run only special notebooks that is designed for this and beside that I found many times I do need twink play around with python code inside to make its work it's have more hack ups with kind of when you start working some packages that not allowed by Google it's have a lot of way more problems there but if you you know if you have no choice this is actually a good way to do it for free online just play around if your computer for example cannot run anything if you have an older slower computer or other things so this is actually not bad way to do do it well I hope you find this video useful if you do please subscribe Thumbs Up Remember let's beat this YouTube algorithm together okay I'll need your help on this well thank you again be sure to check for more video and have a great day bye
