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

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] [7] 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] SD WebUI is one of the most popular user interfaces for Stable Diffusion, together with ComfyUI. [8] In February 2024, a book was published by ja:Gijutsu Hyoronsha on using Stable Diffusion with SD WebUI in Japanese. [9] [10] As of July 2024, the project had 136,000 stars on GitHub. [11]

Features

SD WebUI uses Gradio for its user interface. [12] [13] [14] 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. [12] [13] [15] SD WebUI supports prompt weighting, image-to-image based generation, inpainting, outpainting and image scaling. [16] It supports over 20 samplers including DDIM, Euler, Euler a, DPM++ 2M Karras, and UniPC. [16] [17] It is also used for its various optimizations over the base Stable Diffusion. [5]

Stable Diffusion WebUI Forge

Stable Diffusion WebUI Forge (Forge) is a notable fork of SD WebUI started by Lvmin Zhang, who is also the creator of ControlNet and Fooocus. [18] [19] The initial goal of Forge was to improve the performance and features of SD WebUI with the intention to upstream changes back to SD WebUI. [18] [19] One of Forge's optimizations allowed users with low VRAM to generate images faster on some versions of Stable Diffusion. [18] It improved generation speed for users with 8GB and 6GB VRAM by 30-45% and 60-75%, respectively. [18] [19] Forge also includes extra features such as support for more samplers than standard SD WebUI. [20] Some of Forge's optimizations were borrowed from ComfyUI, and others were developed by the Forge team. [19] In August 2024, Forge added support for the Flux diffusion model developed by Black Forest Labs, which is not yet supported by SD WebUI. [21]
