The huggingface element of these annoys me. Reading the other comments, this is just a stable diffusion checkpoint, so I should be able to download it and not use the diffusers library or whatever other HF stuff. But it's frustrating that it's tied to a for profit ecosystem like this.
I suppose pytorch is / was Facebook, but if feels more arms length. I don't have to install and run a facebook cli to use it (nobody get any ideas).
You don't need a HF cli, you just need to use git LFS (I believe now part of git) to pull the files off of HF (unfortunately still requiring an account with them). It would be nice to see truly open mirrors for this stuff that don't have to involve any company.

- notpushkin 4y agoMaybe crowdfunding is an option today?
- zargon 4y agoThere was a group that tried to do this recently and Kickstarter shut them down.
- rattt 4y agoYou don't need a HF account to download the checkpoint, can be downloaded straight from the website/browser, direct url: https://huggingface.co/openjourney/openjourney/resolve/main/mdjrny-v4.ckpt https://huggingface.co/openjourney/openjourney/resolve/main/...
- version_five 4y agoIs it possible to download with curl or git lfs (or other "free" command line tool) with no login? I couldn't find a way to do that with the original sd checkpoints.
- rattt 4y agoYes works with anything now, they removed the manual accepting of the terms and auth requirement some months after release.
- version_five 4y agoI will try it, thanks!
- Rastonbury 4y agoYou can download the checkpoint right from hugging face and diffusers is a library you can use for free, I'm not sure what the issue is here, that people need an account?
