I haven't been following the image generation space since the initial excitement around stable diffusion. Is there an easy to use interface for the new models

I haven't been following the image generation space since the initial excitement around stable diffusion. Is there an easy to use interface for the new models coming out? I remember setting up the python env for stable diffusion, but then shortly after there were a host of nice GUIs. Are there some popular GUIs that can be used to try out newer models? Similarly, what's the best GUI for some of the older models? Preferably for macos.

Auto1111 and Comfy both get updated pretty quickly to support most of the new models coming out. I expect they'll both support this soon.

    Thanks for calling us out - I'm one of the maintainers. Not entirely sure we'll be in the Stable Cascade race quite yet. Since Auto/Comfy aren't really built for businesses, they'll get it incorporated sooner vs later. Invoke's main focus is building open-source tools for the pros using this for work that are getting disrupted, and non-commercial licenses don't really help the ones that are trying to follow the letter of the license. Theoretically, since we're just a deployment solution, it might come up with our larger customers who want us to run something they license from Stability, but we've had zero interest on any of the closed-license stuff so far.

fal.ai is nice and fast: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39360800 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39360800 Both in performance and for how quickly they integrate new models apparently: they already support Stable Cascade.

Fooocus is the fastest way to try SDXL/SDXL turbo with good quality. ComfyUI is cool but very DIY. You don't get good results unless you wrap your head around all the augmentations and defaults. No idea if it will support cascade.

  ComfyUI is similar to Houdini in complexity, but immensely powerful. It's a joy to use. There are also a large amount of resources available for it on YouTube, GitHub (https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI_examples https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI_examples), reddit (https://old.reddit.com/r/comfyui https://old.reddit.com/r/comfyui), CivitAI, Comfy Workflows (https://comfyworkflows.com/ https://comfyworkflows.com/), and OpenArt Flow (https://openart.ai/workflows/ https://openart.ai/workflows/). I still use AUTO1111 (https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui) and the recently released and heavily modified fork of AUTO1111 called Forge (https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge).
