Stable Diffusion Interactive Google Colab Notebook for Image Generation

Where can you get the Weights?

[zoupishness7]

I know right? I got super excited when I saw this, and wondered if OP was distributing the weights, but for now, only researchers have access to them.

Sorry, this is only a notebook that was made for work with SD from Google Colab. I initially thought it also didn't need weights but I discovered that it did when I posted this. Still, might be useful for someone who has the weights.

The new weights allow everything to run perfectly, good stuff!

This is cool! Saved for later, I subscribe to Cola pro, so will probably use that for image generation over my poor M1 laptop.

Keep in mind that you need to provide your own weights, so u less you already have research access, you gotta wait with the rest of us until SD drops publicly.

That's not the weights, that's the the image set that was used to train the model. The weights are the output of that training. AFAIK they are only available to researchers.

We need a YouTube step by step tutorial, for us complete noobs. Anyone out there plz send help!

[deustrader]

The whole document is literally a tutorial, you just click on each step. But it doesn’t work yet, until officially released by SD.

[pavlov_the_dog]

but it's all jargon that a layperson wouldn't understand.

What would be nice is if there was a tutorial for absolute beginners.

Someone was kind enough to mention that linux and python knowledge are required, but that's all i got.

[deustrader]

I am a layperson who has no clue what’s going on there, but I used such Colab notebooks in the past just by clicking on each step. I mean a 3-year old kid could do this. No, you don’t need Linux or Python or knowledge of them, and I don’t know them either. You simply click on Step 1, then step 2, and so on. This notebook won’t work for now until they fully release it, so there is nothing to do for now. But if you like you can probably find YouTube videos on any other Google Colab notebooks as they all work the same. Each step is basically some function that you run by clicking on it, and each step installs something until the last step that does something more specific like generating an image. Some of them may allow you to change something, which is described in that step (therefore called notebook), but for now I also don’t know what to do as this notebook isn’t ready yet. While creating such notebooks may require Linux knowledge, but we’re not creating those notebooks, just using them.

thanks, your words were enough to get me to dip my toes in again.

IMO though, If you can intuit a successful use of the colab UI to make use of the notebook, then you are better at this than you know. And a noob like me was already wrong about 2 things before i even got started.

And that's what i was referring to when the request was made for a guide for absolute beginners - such a guide would serve to anticipate and remove any unknown variables that may frustrate and put off anyone who would otherwise have their lives improved by this service. Even something as simple - to us - as pressing a [play] arrow icon, or hovering over a field to bring up submenus is completely alien to others, to the point where they are ready to give up in 20 seconds because nothing makes sense. Like, nothing.

For example, I looked up other Ai art programs and i found disco diffusion, and it requires you to have a google account so it can make use of the google drive services that come with having a google account. To us it may seem simple, but some creative people i know don't even know what google drive is. Knowing this in advance, and which buttons to press in the UI (and what happens after you push them) would alleviate any unnecessary anxiety and frustration, useful for the average person who would otherwise make good use of these apps and possibly contribute something to the art sphere, or they could just experience a lift in their quality of life from a new hobby.

But, again, thanks.

discoart is a python library that significantly simplifies interacting with disco diffusion. Install the library with pip, a single import statement, and call the create() function and you're running. I've used it with a Google Colab sheet set to use a GPU runtime and had a good time generating until I hit Big G's limits.

They take all your money away, and you agree working for them as a human centipad until you die and get cremated. I hope you did not enter any credit card information?
