AUTOMATIC1111 Stable Diffusion Web UI

AUTOMATIC1111 Stable Diffusion Web UI (SD WebUI, A1111, or Automatic1111[3]) is an open source generative artificial intelligence program that allows users to generate images from a text prompt.[4] It uses Stable Diffusion as the base model for its image capabilities together with a large set of extensions and features to customize its output.[5]

History

edit

SD WebUI was released on GitHub on August 22, 2022, by AUTOMATIC1111,[1] 1 month after the initial release of Stable Diffusion.[6] At the time, Stable Diffusion could only be run via the command line.[5] SD WebUI quickly rose in popularity and has been described as "the most popular tool for running diffusion models locally."[4] A user study of six StableDiffusion users showed that all participants had used SD WebUI at least once.[3] The study showed that users ascribe SD WebUI's popularity to its ease of installation and support for open source tools.[3] In February 2024, a book was published by ja:Gijutsu Hyoronsha on using Stable Diffusion with SD WebUI in Japanese.[7][8] As of July 2024, the project had 136,000 stars on GitHub.[9]

Features

edit

SD WebUI uses Gradio for its user interface.[10][11][12] Each parameter in the Stable Diffusion program is exposed via a UI interface within SD WebUI. SD WebUI contains additional parameters not included in Stable Diffusion itself, such as support for Low-rank adaptations, ControlNet and custom variational autoencoders.[10][11][13] It is also used for its various optimizations over the base Stable Diffusion.[5]
