This is a fork of 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, macOS 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.

This fork is supported across Linux, Windows and Macintosh. Linux users can use either an Nvidia-based card (with CUDA support) or an AMD card (using the ROCm driver). For full installation and upgrade instructions, please see: InvokeAI Installation Overview

InvokeAI is supported across Linux, Windows and macOS. Linux users can use either an Nvidia-based card (with CUDA support) or an AMD card (using the ROCm driver).

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.

We do not recommend the GTX 1650 or 1660 series video cards. They are unable to run in half-precision mode and do not have sufficient VRAM to render 512x512 images.

• At least 12 GB Main Memory RAM.

• At least 12 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 to your initialization command

(invokeai) ~/InvokeAI$ python scripts/invoke.py --precision=float32

Or by updating your InvokeAI configuration file with this argument.
