Stable Diffusion - Better Fine Details with a new VAE! (Variational Autoencoder)

From the creator

You can now fine-tune your stable diffusion local installation with an updated variational autoencoder (VAE for short). The folks from StabilityAI released this a few days after the 1.5 update was released from their business partner, so this is something you should consider adding to your installation to make things as fine as possible. This should help a bit with things like fingers, eyes, faces, and that annoying magenta drift that happens when doing loop img2img animations. REMEMBER, ALWAYS DOWNLOAD FROM OFFICIAL SOURCES! You can download the VAE from the official site. https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse-original This is the line I added: set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--vae-path "models\Stable-diffusion\vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.pt" If you don't have a local installation, check out this video: https://youtu.be/ycQJDJ-qNI8 Is your PC a potato?

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
