LightningAI + InvokeAI: STOP PAYING for Midjourney with this FREE, LOCAL & OPENSOURCE Alternative

In this Video, I'll be telling you about a new local, free and opensource alternative to Midjourney which is a Text-to-Image platform. This Alternative is called InvokeAI. I'll be combining it with Lightning AI to create a fully free Midjourney alternative that is even better than Midjourney itself. You can use it with Stable Diffusion 3, Stable Diffusion 2, Stable Diffusion XL and multiple other Text-To-Image models. You don't need to use Automatic1111 or ComfyUI anymore because this alternative is really amazing. This alternative costs $0 whereas Midjourney costs upwards of $20 a month which is Insane to say the least.

[mikazuki]

Thank you for the helpful video!
It's a translation function, so I'm sorry if the English is strange.

I was able to start the application around 5 minutes and 44 seconds, but I don't know how to connect the invokeAI call.

What are custom port options? Please tell me how to connect🙏

[halmitty]

Thanks for the video! Could you please make one on how to train a model/lora on Lightning AI to use with Invoke?

[RealLexable]

do i have to stop Invoke from running after using it or is it going down by itself after 10min because of the LightingAI service and starting again if i use my web port link again ?

[jaypeehennessy]

Did you publish your studio to the community gallery so others can use this?

[JockerJack-the-death]

King... should I do all this every time I use it?... how do I run it directly after first time downloading?

[JoyWeeler]

Hi king...when generating images for first time, it generate about 10 to 15 image then gives me this

Server Error
RuntimeError: Parent directory does not exist.

Please do you know how to solve it?

[Nicemansays]

thanks for making tutorial. Can you please make a tutorial on " ComfyUI with manager on LIghtningAI " that will be super helpful

[yoad]

You know, not many people are capable of running these models on their PC. Maybe try to test some things on a cloud server such as runpod and lambda and do tutorials on them too? Bit of a specific request but I find that a lot of people are like me
