AI Image Generation Resources (Setup and Install Yourself)

The following gives you a few examples of libraries/resources you can download and install your own generative AI setup on your own machine!

• AUTOMATIC1111 / stable-diffusion-webui — This is a free, open-source, very popular software suite that provides the StableDiffusion engine plus a popular local-Web-based user interface. Very powerful, easy to learn. Setting up requires a modest amount of technical knowledge.

• InvokeAI — Also free, a somewhat large install, significant technical knowledge required, has a nice browser-based user interface. This choice requires more of the client system than AUTOMATIC1111.

• ComfyUI — Also free and open-source. This is a common choice along more advanced users. It uses a modular user interface, also local-Web-based, more flexible than AUTOMATIC1111 but with a steeper learning curve.
