- Latent Consistency Models support (LCM/LCM-LoRA)
- Faster and memory efficient latent decoding with TAESD
- Upscale images generated with ESRGAN
Supported backends
- CPU (AVX, AVX2 and AVX512 support for x86 architectures)
- CUDA
- Vulkan
- Metal

- SYCL
Supported weight formats
- Pytorch checkpoint (.ckpt or .pth)
- Safetensors (.safetensors)
- GGUF (.gguf)
Supported platforms
- Linux
- Mac OS
- Windows
- Android (via Termux, Local Diffusion)
Flash Attention for memory usage optimization
Negative prompt
stable-diffusion-webui style tokenizer (not all the features, only token weighting for now)
VAE tiling processing for reduce memory usage
Sampling method
- Euler A
- Euler
- Heun
- DPM2
- DPM++ 2M
- DPM++ 2M v2
- DPM++ 2S a
- LCM
Cross-platform reproducibility
- --rng cuda, default, consistent with the stable-diffusion-webui GPU RNG
- --rng cpu, consistent with the comfyui RNG
Embedds generation parameters into png output as webui-compatible text string

Quick Start

Get the sd executable

Download pre-built binaries from the releases page
Or build from source by following the build guide

Download model weights

download weights(.ckpt or .safetensors or .gguf). For example
- Stable Diffusion v1.5 from https://huggingface.co/stable-diffusion-v1-5/stable-diffusion-v1-5
```
curl -L -O https://huggingface.co/runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5/resolve/main/v1-5-pruned-emaonly.safetensors
```

Generate an image with just one command

./bin/sd-cli -m ../models/v1-5-pruned-emaonly.safetensors -p "a lovely cat"

For detailed command-line arguments, check out cli doc.

Performance

If you want to improve performance or reduce VRAM/RAM usage, please refer to performance guide.
