Installation
ComfyUI
"ComfyUI lets you design and execute advanced stable diffusion pipelines using a graph/nodes/flowchart based interface. Available on Windows, Linux, and macOS. ComfyUI is the AI creation engine for visual professionals who demand control over every model, every parameter, and every output. Its powerful and modular node graph interface empowers creatives to generate images, videos, 3D models, audio, and more..."

- No.103872552: "Is this flux?"
- No.103872601: "NTA, but just use the examples found here"
SwarmUI
"Built on top of ComfyUI, SwarmUI is a Modular AI Image Generation Web-User-Interface, with an emphasis on making powertools easily accessible, high performance, and extensibility. Supports AI image models (Stable Diffusion, Z-Image, Flux, Qwen Image, etc.), and AI video models (Wan, Hunyuan Video, etc.), with plans to support eg audio and more in the future."
The "Stable Diffusion Web UI" Lineage
"Stable Diffusion Web UI is a web interface for Stable Diffusion, implemented using Gradio library."
"Forge is a platform on top of the original Stable Diffusion WebUI, to make development easier, optimize resource management, speed up inference, and study experimental features. The name "Forge" is inspired by "Minecraft Forge". This project aims to become the Forge of Stable Diffusion WebUI."
"Forge Classic 'Neo' mainly serves as an continuation for the "latest" version of Forge, which was built on Gradio 4.40.0 before lllyasviel became too busy... Additionally, this fork is focused on optimization and usability, with the main goal of being able to run the latest popular models via an easy-to-use GUI."
Wan2GP
"The best Open Source Generative Models Accessible to the GPU Poor. WanGP is a one-stop super app for the best open source generative models across video, image, audio, and text-to-speech."
Diffusers
"Diffusers is a library of state-of-the-art pretrained diffusion models for generating videos, images, and audio."
sd.cpp
"Diffusion model(SD,Flux,Wan,...) inference in pure C/C++. Note that this project is under active development. API and command-line option may change frequently."
