SDXL 1.0 IS HERE! Were to get it, how to use it, and what to expect.

Grab the SDXL model from here (OFFICIAL): (bonus LoRA also here)

The refiner is also available here (OFFICIAL):

Additional VAE (only needed if you plan to not use the built-in version)

Having a play on ComfyUI and it's very impressive, I generally do 'photo realistic' images and have been very happy with the community created models using SD1.5, very much looking forward to what comes from this model..

[VioFax]

Do you think 1.5 will still be useful after XL is more optimized and widely used? what about custom models? or LORA?

[vilainm]

Love ComfyUI & Stable Diffusion!!. Got the SDXL model. If I load this, the VAE output still uses the 'old' VAE? Do I need to download the SDXL VAE for best results?

[umarudoma]

so you mean i just download the SDXL model and paste it on to my previous SD1.5 folder and just select it as checkpoint to use the SDXL ?? no need to reinstall anything from square one?

[marjolein_pas]

Thanks for the update. And yes, I've noticed that negative prompts are mainly BS

[Arlechinu]

Any chance of an ‘official’ workflow for ComfyUI for using SDXL? Cheers! Excellent videos!

[UcheOgbiti]

Please I'm confused. Can anyone explain the difference between SDXL 1.0 and Stable diffusion 2.1?

[MonzonMedia]

Saw you on the call Scott! Then quickly recorded a video! hahaha! Runs so well on ComfyUi even on my lowly 3060Ti. Tried it on Invoke AI but it looks like I need to optimize things in the backend, was running super slow...couldn't wait. I'd love to see different SDXL set ups on ComfyUi.

Can you link the specific vae? I dont understand the name you are saying of the guy who made it. Sounds like Calyuga, or something. Would be nice to explain who that is, or show it in screen.

I have a lot of fun generating war machines and mecha in SD will this model do good for that application?

[pflovv]

ComfyUI has become my favorite already, the only feature I'm still looking for is batch solution for ControlNet, that's why I still have to use A1111 at this moment.

[sadelcri]

I have a few questions: does it generate 1024x1024 images as fast as with sd 1.5?? can it generate images smaller than 1024x1024? and bigger images?

[lakislamArt]

Can I use the same workflow of SDXL 0.9 with the new model?

[Definesleepalt]

do we still train it using dreambooth ?

[REDINKmysteries]

Does Comfy have img2img, outpainting and drawing features?

[tomschuelke]

Great. now for ome reason i wasnt able to create the best results with 0.9. but i am courious how it works out now.

Furthermore i just today got some increadible greate architectural images from a colleque from midjurney, and just did throw the prompt to SDXL 0.9..
first time trying out SDXL 0.9 a bit more..

moods and architecural quality was nearly as good as midjurney allready with the beta.. only two issues.. straight lines where often a bitt wiggling and not straigt.

And it was nt able to creat a Square structured patterns in the ceiling that where stunning great with MJ.. never the les also with the beta a big step.. and now lets see what the final XL will be like..

[hobologna]

Automatic1111 won't load the 1.0 model or the refiner for me.. any ideas?

[jaredbeiswenger]

Lots of great tips. Appreciate it. Looking forward to trying it out.

[LeonvanBokhorst]

Great! Thanks 🙏 you're the reason I got into Comfy :)

[Elwaves]

I couldn't get the model to load on A111, it would process for a few seconds then revert to the previous model. This is with an RTX 3060 12Gb and 32Gb RAM and I believe A111 is on version 1.5.1 (not sure how to tell exactly). If anyone has a solution, I'd appreciate a heads up to it.
Tried it on ComfyUI and it worked straight away. Huzzah! Not sure about the quality of people yet but other generations seem to work great.
