AUTOMATIC 1111: interfaz web de Stable Diffusion

What is Automatic 1111 and how is it used?

Automatic 1111 is a graphical interface for running the Stable Diffusion model or any other diffusion-based model. This tool is widely used and is quickly updated with new versions of Stability AI models. In this course, we will use Automatic 1111 to facilitate working with these models.

To begin, we need to access the official Automatic 1111 repository on GitHub, where we will find the interface and can clone the repository via git. The repository contains a README file with details on how to use the interface, available features, and an installation guide for different operating systems.

How to install Automatic 1111?

Installation of Automatic 1111 is straightforward, especially if you have an NVIDIA graphics card, as AMD is not recommended. The basic steps vary depending on your operating system:

1. Windows:

   • Install Python 3.10.
   • Clone the Automatic 1111 repository.
   • Download the CKPT file of the models and place it in the 'Models' folder.
   • Run the .bat file.

2. Linux/UNIX:

   • Install a Python 3.10 environment.
   • Run the webui.sh script to launch the graphical interface.

Both processes require downloading the CKPT file, which is a trained model that we store locally for use with Automatic 1111.

How to configure models in Automatic 1111?

Once the repository is cloned and the installation is configured, it is crucial to understand how to manage Stable Diffusion models:

1. Downloading models:

   • Head to Hugging Face to search for models as Stable Diffusion 2.0.
   • Download the appropriate CKPT file for your use.

2. Model Placement:

   • CKPT files should be placed in the appropriate model folder, e.g. models/stable diffusion.
   • Make sure that each model has its corresponding YAML configuration file.

How to use the Automatic 1111 graphical interface?

Once installed and configured, you can run the GUI from the terminal if you are on a UNIX system or directly through the executable file on Windows:

• Running from the terminal:

  • Go to the folder where webui.sh is located and run:

    ./webui.sh

• Interaction with the interface:

  • Automatic 1111 will load the models and allow you to generate images from text.
  • You can configure several options, such as the number of iterations, sampler type, image dimensions, among others.

Through this interface, you can make multiple adjustments to improve the quality of the generated images and experiment with different prompts. A local URL is provided to access the graphical interface from a browser.

What are the advantages of using Automatic 1111?

Automatic 1111 is a powerful tool for users interested in image generation through diffusion, because:

• Ease of interaction: it offers a user-friendly interface that allows handling models without having to deal directly with complex commands.
• Breadth of functions: Supports a wide variety of diffusion models and allows customizing multiple generation parameters.
• Constant updates: Keeps up to date with the latest versions of Stable Diffusion models and other emerging technologies in the field of artificial intelligence.

Final recommendations

Once you become familiar with Automatic 1111, you will explore a world of possibilities in image creation, from written language to digital art. Remember to consult Hugging Face for free models and to tailor your tools to your creative needs. To improve your understanding, we recommend you delve into prompts adjustment techniques and try different settings to achieve the best results.

Automate, experiment and discover the infinite potential Automatic 1111 offers for digital creativity.
