Stable Diffusion WebUI Forge

Stable Diffusion WebUI Forge is a platform on top of Stable Diffusion WebUI (based on Gradio ) to make development easier, optimize resource management, speed up inference, and study experimental features.

The name "Forge" is inspired from "Minecraft Forge". This project is aimed at becoming SD WebUI's Forge.

Forge is currently based on SD-WebUI 1.10.1 at this commit. (Because original SD-WebUI is almost static now, Forge will sync with original WebUI every 90 days, or when important fixes.)

News

2024 Sep 7: New sampler Flux Realistic is available now! Recommended scheduler is "simple".

Quick List

Gradio 4 UI Must Read (TLDR: You need to use RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON to move canvas!)

Flux Tutorial (BitsandBytes Models, NF4, "GPU Weight", "Offload Location", "Offload Method", etc)

Flux Tutorial 2 (Seperated Full Models, GGUF, Technically Correct Comparison between GGUF and NF4, etc)

Forge Extension List and Extension Replacement List (Temporary)

How to make LoRAs more precise on low-bit models; How to Skip" Patching LoRAs"; How to only load LoRA one time rather than each generation; How to report LoRAs that do not work

Report Flux Performance Problems (TLDR: DO NOT set "GPU Weight" too high! Lower "GPU Weight" solves 99% problems!)

How to solve "Connection errored out" / "Press anykey to continue ..." / etc

(Save Flux BitsandBytes UNet/Checkpoint)

(Flux BNB NF4 / GGUF Q8_0/Q5_0/Q5_1/Q4_0/Q4_1 are all natively supported with GPU weight slider and Quene/Async Swap toggle and swap location toggle. All Flux BNB NF4 / GGUF Q8_0/Q5_0/Q4_0 have LoRA support.)

Installing Forge

Just use this one-click installation package (with git and python included).

>>> Click Here to Download One-Click Package (CUDA 12.1 + Pytorch 2.3.1) <<<

Some other CUDA/Torch Versions:

Forge with CUDA 12.1 + Pytorch 2.3.1 <- Recommended

Forge with CUDA 12.4 + Pytorch 2.4 <- Fastest, but MSVC may be broken, xformers may not work

Forge with CUDA 12.1 + Pytorch 2.1 <- the previously used old environments

After you download, you uncompress, use update.bat to update, and use run.bat to run.

Note that running update.bat is important, otherwise you may be using a previous version with potential bugs unfixed.

Advanced Install

If you are proficient in Git and you want to install Forge as another branch of SD-WebUI, please see here. In this way, you can reuse all SD checkpoints and all extensions you installed previously in your OG SD-WebUI, but you should know what you are doing.

If you know what you are doing, you can also install Forge using same method as SD-WebUI. (Install Git, Python, Git Clone the forge repo https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge.git and then run webui-user.bat).

Feel free to open issue if anything is broken and I will take a look every several days. If I do not update this "Forge Status" then it means I cannot reproduce any problem. In that case, fresh re-install should help most.
