Invoke 5.5 brings new Flux Control Layers & all-in-one launcher/installer for Community Edition

[@toonverbeek7765]

Congrats on the release! Do you recommend using the new installer to run on cloud platforms like runpod, or do you recommend using the docker image?

This is a good gift, thank you!

This looks amazing. It's been a while since I've tried Invoke so perhaps you've already addressed this, but do you plan to implement more complete drawing and painting tools?

❤‍🔥 thank you! ❤‍🔥

Re-launch the --- Invoke-Installer-windows-x64 --- application, I did not find a shortcut to launch it

[@Diirtyhippy]

Is this the pro version subscription based or one time purchase?

[@Fomincev]

I've never been able to install it myself. I only have to use Pinocchio. It hasn't been updated yet.

[@Digildon]

thanks for your work

[@havemoney]

Add a progress bar to the installer

On mac i keep getting “Invoke-Installer.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash. when trying to use the new launcher. Any known issues?

Check the troubleshooting / macOS issues here: invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/installation/installer/#installation-issues

[@Fomincev]

Hm. All in one. This is interesting

I have a 8gb vram rtx 4060 laptop but I can't use flux with invoke :/ (memory error) any solutions?

[@rebeldeconcausa9227]

You will have to use GGUF Q4_0 or lower but I don't know if InvokeAI supports this format as NF4 does For Flux it is advisable to have at least 12gb or you will lose a lot of quality and lora. Better use a well trained SDXL and the InvokeAI canvas you will achieve much better quality than with an overly compressed flux.

👋 hi

Flux is good. It is ok to have support, but... Please notice Flux licensing; it is NOT open source nor free as in free beer, maybe with schnell as an exception. Also, Flux requires pretty heavy hardware. SD1.5 with upscaling is still the best real open source with free tensor. I understand people like Flux a lot. It´s excellent. But I see invokeAI as a different tool compared with A1111 and similar. It´s for designers and artists, with no giant prompts and some manual labor to tame Stable Diffusion. For regular users, please keep an eye on SANA. OBS: In Brazil, a proper homemade server with an RTX4090 24G would cost no less than U$4.000,00. That´s a lot.
