[@Frankenburger]

11:15 you don't HAVE to use 1024x1024. In my testing, SDXL can generate images as low as 768x768 without suffering severe quality loss. This is useful for lower VRAM systems, like my 8GB laptop, since it allows you to generate 768x1024 (portrait) or 1024x768 (landscape) images while saving a little bit of vram. I have even done 1280x720 images featuring a kitten wearing knight armor with very little quality loss compared to 1280x1024.

[@MyFather95819]

How are you doing it? Its apparently not working on my 8gb Rtx 3070, is there any other way to make it work? For me it only works if i write 2 word prompts and just makes awful results

[@CoffeeAddictGuy]

Is speed of 768x768 image generation the same with sdxl1.0 vs sd1.5 or is it noticeably longer? Will you be able to upscale that 768x768 to 1024x1024 in img2img using the refiner with similar result?

[@MrMsschwing]

​@@MyFather95819write --medvram in start bat file, that worked for me

[@Frankenburger]

@@CoffeeAddictGuy SDXL in my testing is about 25-30% slower than SD1.5, but it's hard for me to get exact numbers since I have to use --medvram, which does change the performance a bit. Also, yes, you can render 768x768 with the base model and upscale it with the refiner to get better details in img2img. If you go to Civit and search @frankenburger you can find my test images that are a result of this method along with their metadata

[@Frankenburger]

@@MyFather95819 I'm not sure what you mean by awful results, but I'm not using a1111 any differently with SDXL than I was with SD1.5. Without being able to see your settings, I'd like to suggest going over to Civit and searching @frankenburger. I posted sample images that were rendered at 768x768 using the base model (and then upscaled them using the refiner) and included their metadata for your reference.

[@Macieks300]

Finally! I was waiting for this video. I tried updating A1111 today to v1.5 on my own but it works way slower for me for some reason. Even for normal SD1.5 checkpoints. I was hoping to see you talk about the command line arguments and tips for them but I guess you skipped that part.

[@OlivioSarikas]

You might try to delete you venv folder and restart A1111. It takes a while to set everything up again. also try to use --xformers in the command args

[@Avalon19511]

@@OlivioSarikas Same here speed for me is terrible takes between 4 and 5 minutes for one image even with xformers activated

[@Steamrick]

You're probably running out of memory... it slows way down if the total video memory used is bigger than your GPU's vram. SDXL might *run* on 8GB of VRAM, but it's not happy until you have 16GB, at least right now. I think I've read that comfy UI does better, so you could try that.

[@Macieks300]

@@Steamrick I have 12GB of vram but I wasn't even talking about SDXL. The regular SD1.5 checkpoints all work 5 times longer after update to A1111v1.5 than what I was using before which is A1111v1.3.

Great video, right now I'm enjoying SDXL a lot and getting some very decent stuff generated. Though things will 'go nuclear' once we have a series of custom models out and ControlNet works with it. My only fear is VRAM. I can't wait to do Dreambooth with this, but I assume that if we're using 1024x1024 as source images then VRAM requirements are going to skyrocket?

[@micbab-vg2mu]

Olivio, based on your instructions I installed Invoke AI 3.0. Stable Diffusion XL 1.0 works quite well even though my GPU is not great, only 12GB RAM - the image generation is fast. I use Midjourney prompts and in some cases achieve even better results. Thank you for the tips.

[@OlivioSarikas]

[@tom.shanghai]

I've created a simple extension that uses the refiner for the hires fix pass but it requires a minimum of 32gb ram (not vram). But lets hope that we'll get a native way to use the refiner in A1111

Thank you for the video, you saved me a minute of rendering by using this "HACKER" method. I was struggling for this issue, since I have 8 gb VRAM card, and the rendering takes like 1,5 minute to render on the base model, which led me to use ComfyUI which is much faster and stabler. But it needs some learning to add nods for refiner and Lora etc.. But you saved me man thank you! I am waiting for your videos on how to train our own Loras and models for this specific model, is it the same like before? Is there any change? All this will keep me busy watching all upcoming videos about this new version.

[@OlivioSarikas]

You are welcome :) It's not supposed to be used that way, but i think the results can be pretty nice too :)

[@BlueScorpioZA]

For me, the best way of using SDXL so far is to set up a second copy of Auto1111 alongside my normal version - run it clean with no extensions installed, and the --no-half-vae --opt-sdp-attention --medvram command line options. Works like a charm, and it's pretty fast as long as you have the right drivers installed.

[@okachobe1]

--xformers might help with the speed as well with that setup

[@gulfblue]

How do you go abouts making a second copy of A1111? Did you just reinstall A1111 in a new directory?

[@gulfblue]

@@okachobe1 I have no clue what that means... Do you mean zip the current SD folder I have so that it can't be affected, install SD again, and then what? Can I unzip my folder containing my original SD and use one for SDXL and one for the previous?

[@linusgustafsson2629]

Noticed my WebUI was just an unpacked zip-file, so I went to start over with cloning down the repo this time to easier keep it updated. Taking a while, but hopefully it will be worth it. The safetensors also take a long time to download so I imagine a lot of people are downloading them to enjoy themselves with AI art.

[@juanserranos2006]

Excellent tutorial and information @OlivioSarikas but I was wondering, and if is not too much to ask... What is the Automatic 1111 that you are running, because I don't have some of the slide controllers (like the Clip Skip), and option windows (SD VAE), that you showed in this video. Is this part of a default installation of Automatic 1111, or are there extensions that you have to install? One more time thank you for your excellent videos. Take Care.

[@user-yj3mf1dk7b]

check settings

[@DiffusionHub]

no extensions, you need to enable them in your settings

[@Bericbone]

The refiner model should not be used for img2img. It's made to work with LEFTOVER NOISE from the base model. The refiner does not work very well on Gaussian noise added to a fully completed image. You need to wait for auto1111 to support the refiner model to use the it correctly, or switch to a comfyui workflow that uses it correctly. You can see it working in this video, adding some detail, but it has little understanding of the image so it also morphs the skin texture completely.

[@johnnyc.31]

I’m not understanding your description of the proper use for the refiner model. I also don’t see what you say it’s doing to skin texture. Honestly both images at 15:02 have a very airbrushed / unrealistic painted style with little to no texture in the skin. Not the most impressive example image.

[@digidope]

@@johnnyc.31SD next has option for using refiner or not. It's (probably) coming to A1111 soon. img2img is not the way it's meant to be used.

[@OlivioSarikas]

Yes, but this is the only way to use it in A1111 for now. So it's better than nothing for people who don't want to use a different UI.

@OlivioSarikas The charts were generated with results from blind image generation. People could vote on thousands of images. The choices were side by side and nobody knew which models were being used to generate the images. This is how those results were generated in the graph.

[@OlivioSarikas]

I know, but that still doesn't tell us much about how good the really is. Of course it is better than SD 1.5, but we still have to see if the trained models from the community are far better or just a little better. Of course also the improvements will be less big, but more precises over time.

Great stuff really helpful - as a photographer and designer getting into AI generation its amazing to get these supporting tutorials - For me my desktop AMD PC with NVIDIA Super 1650 is very slow using Automatic 1111 it takes around 20 minutes to get one image generated and so this is not practical for me so im looking at options of updating spending £300 on new GPU or other alternatives

There were discussions about the SDXL 1.0 VAE and how it created some strange artifacts, a lot of people seem to recommend to use the SDXL 0.9 VAE with SDXL 1.0 to avoid those issues. Maybe worth a try to see if you still get those problems with the eyes when not using face restore.

So far I didn't notice any difference when I use SDXL 1.0 VAE compared to when I use None. I have Restore Faces checked. If I don't then faces suddenly all turn blue and distorted in the last Step using the 1.0 VAE. Gotta try 0.9 VAE then.

The images you are showing I'm wandering if it's just my screen but they appear to have vertical lines on all around the edges of the characters also through the characters. Is this a shortcoming of the AI or perhaps the way its transferred to this media? Also the image at 2:50 an improvement would be for the AI to render in the foot prints from the dog running and jumping in the sand, at the speed it would have to be running there would in a real pic be prints left in sand and also more than likely sand flung out from the dogs back paws. Just some observations.

[@Steamrick]

Amongst other places, it'll spit out the version number in the cmd dialogue right beneath the python version and all of the version numbers are listed at the bottom of the A1111 UI. I really don't see how you could possibly have difficulty finding them?!

[@Elwaves2925]

I had that problem and the solution I found was to do a fresh install with the latest A1111 webUI. Even if it says you're up to date, you aren't. You'll know for definite as it will tell you it's 1.5.0 or 1.5.1 where Steamrick mentions. You don't need to get Python again but remember to add it's path to the webui-user.bat. @Steamrick The A111 webui doesn't show it's version number for all installs. For older installs, those UI numbers you mention didn't show the UI version, they started with Python. 🙂

Is Controlnet already available for SDXL 1.0 with Automatic 1111? Couldn't find anything on the web so far

[@lex_darlog_fun]

@OlivioSarikas According to their blog post, you're supposed to switch the model from base to refiner mid-generation. Shouldn't you do it by: - generating initial half-baked image with 10 steps or so - switching to refiner, removing lora from prompt, and continuing with clip skip 10 or something like that ? The 2nd paragraph in "The largest open image model" section of their announcement makes me believe that the approach shown by you isn't actually correct: > ... the base model generates *(noisy)* latents

[@cyberhard]

I'll start using SDXL when ControlNet is available for it.

[@ominoxe]

[@bladechild2449]

honestly, I've tested some of my prompts from 0.9 on 1.0, and it feels worse? Maybe it's just the RNG effect at play with prompting, but I had a lot more success with 0.9 when it came to making artistic images. 1.0 seems to heavily latch onto a specific part of the prompt and never deviates from anything else you put in. You can put a prompt like "actress sitting by a cafe window by insert artist", and then add something like "bold line art, intricate lines..." etc etc, and the image will look the exact same. except she has a skirt on instead of trousers. It's weird.

Can I still use SD1.5 along with SDXL? Do I need a separate folder for each, or is SDXL similar to a standard checkpoint? If I try your hack at a lower pixel count with the refiner, can I upscale the image later using SD 1.5 and all my textual inverstions and LORAs? Ty Olivio

[@harnageaa]

Same folders.. also people already do this with comfyUI since it uses sdxl 1.0 and upscale with 1.5

[@Elwaves2925]

As pointed out above, once you have an image you can upscale it however you like with any tool you like. I generate a load of images, pick the ones that worked then upscale later in bulk through the extras tab. You can create a custom folder for SDXL in your models folder, if you want. Same goes for Loras but you don't have to, it's optional.

[@KratomSyndicate]

I noticed this: A tensor with all NaNs was produced in VAE. Web UI will now convert VAE into 32-bit float and retry. To disable this behavior, disable the 'Automaticlly revert VAE to 32-bit floats' setting. To always start with 32-bit VAE, use --no-half-vae commandline flag. Is it recommened to use this flag?

No, using that flag would increase VRAM usage. Better is to use the fp16 fixed VAE version or you can also get the base model with the baked in fp16 VAE (first you can find on huggingface, second one on Civitai), also note the VAE in the Stability AI model is "broken" (creating bad colors on edges), it's recommended to use the external VAE (fp16 version), not setting it to "Automatic" or "None" in A1111.

Hi Olivio! Thank you so much for all your amazing videos and hard work put into them! I hope you can help with an issue I'm facing. I'm stuck on installing XL into A1111. The checkpoint is showing up in my dropdown but the checkpoint doesn't load. I get an error in the console and it reverts back to the checkpoint I was previously using. I did close the console and completely reload a few times. Any suggestions what to check?

I am also running into a similar error like you. I'm trying to install it in Jan 2024. Did you ever figure the issue out?

Very clearly explained, thank you. What are the requirements for the GPU to produce images with such high resolutions. My GPU, a RTX 3050Ti, only has 4GB of vram. Will it be enough and do I have to apply some tricks?

[@kewa_design]

Impossible because of the ram

[@OlivioSarikas]

needs at least 8GB vram

[@RSV9]

@@OlivioSarikas Could it be used without a graphics card, that is, only with the cpu, even if it is slower? The other possibility would be to use it with a Mac mini, where I also have A1111 installed but I haven't been using it because it is slower than the Windows laptop. Thanks Olivio

Updated to A1111 1.8.0, when loading SDXL check point getting error. size mismatch for model.diffusion_model.output_blocks.8.0.skip_connection.bias: copying a param with shape torch.Size([320]) from checkpoint, the shape in current model is torch.Size([640]). I'm assuming something broke related to SDXL in this latest A111 update. Any suggestions ?

[@_l3m35_]

SDXL is huge, heavy and it's already excluding lots of users with low/mid-end machines - the world is big and there are users with all kinds of hardware and internet connections. There are LoRas with almost 1GB being produced. Yeah, "show must go on", but I see developers jumping on XL wagon and quickly dropping SD1.5 with some concern.

[@KatsPurr]

Dumb question but what folder does the refiner file go into? Olivio never mention where to put it?

[@KatsPurr]

Never mind, from another video I saw it has to be put in the models/Stable-diffusion folder also.

[@timeTegus]

hey for me it uses way to mutch system ram like above 32 gb and then it crashes

[@fr0zen1isshadowbanned99]

For me too. Well, the Refiner Model that is. 60GB+ then Crash or Error Message.
