Stable Diffusion 3 - How to use it today! Easy Guide for ComfyUI

How to run Stable Diffusion 3. This video shows you to use SD3 in ComfyUI. I also do a Stable Diffusion 3 comparison to Midjourney and SDXL

The API and the credits systems should have been stated at the very beginning of the video and a mention of them in the title was needed as well, even only a vague one.

I honestly can't wait for the Full Open Source release.

And for the Fine Tunes and Loras to start flooding in.

[BryceKant]

Nope. If I can't download and run it locally, with no accounts required, then not interested. Not doing this credit system game.

[AlistairKarim]

Thanks for comparison! To state the obvious, the real game begins when we would be able to drop ipadapters, controlnets, loras on top of the model. However, prompt following is already a promising hint.

And 6 fingers on the hand of the SD3 image at 1:48.

Any idea about the system requirements to use it, once is deployed open source?

[andriiB_UA]

Is this the end of the era of free Stable Diffusion?

[nikolesfrances]

Exciting but not there yet need the open source to have fun, but it's a great party trick at the moment

[AGvfx]

It's wonderful! Will there be a local version available for training? If so, when?

[skycladsquirrel]

Great video Olivio. The API key thing is a no go for me. I wonder what Emad thinks about this. The images I've seen don't look much better than Cascade. I'm really excited to see how it does with video though.

[maddydon]

Just for clarification, for sd3, you can't generate images using comfyui without buying api credits?

[claudeclaude]

Hi Olivio, great video. Can you record a video showing how to train a Latent Diffusion Model? It would be helpful.

[yanus_ai]

Hi there is there a way of booking a call with you for consultation?

[BillRoid]

what if i want use my own gpu for it ? how can i install it?

[FightClubGarmz]

I feel that mid journey nailed the images. If SD3 is running on credits, and charges you per image, this will create frustration with bad image generations. Think about testing prompts, seeds, LORA, ip adaptors, it’s going to cost and feel annoying when it makes mistakes if you have to pay for each roll.

[dataminearpg]

I wasn't too impressed with the output of SD3 just yet. As many already stated, the power will come with control and added community training. But I hope prompt-following will be groundbreaking with this one.

[zhongxianshi]

Recently, there are several new models, such as Playground V2.5, SD Cascade, and PixArt Sigma, which I think provide huge improvements in terms of prompts adherence and image quality as compared to SDXL. Since SD 3 is not accessible by public any time soon, it would be great to hear your opinions on these new models (a head-to-head comparison would be awesome).

[HolidayAtHome]

a comparison with also SDXL base would have been nice. Now it's a bit like comparing raw ingredients (SD3) with a fully cooked dish ( finetuned SDXL ). But still interesting video !

@oliver I get soooo confused. Is SD3 simply a model checkpoint like all the other ones? It sounds like the actual underlying technology (diffusion calculations, adaptations, etc) would be what’s called “stable diffusion”.

I’d love to hear commentary on this in the future, just to help clarify if we’re dealing with foundational technology updates or with incremental checkpoint upgrades.

the prompt "Style" is different for all the three model, IMO you can try test the prompt to get similar images for each model, instead of just copy paste the prompt and hopping to get same images.
