ELI5, the SDXL upgrade process (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi all, relatively new here, I've got Automatic1111 installed, a few loras, a couple extensions, been having a lot of fun with it. That being said obviously the biggest thing holding SD back is the 512x512 resolution so SDXL seems really exciting.

What's the upgrade process expected to look like? Will it require setting everything up again from new? Will it be as simple as dumping a new model in? Will extensions/loras/models/whatevers work out of the box or will we need everything to be retrained and new?

I feel like I finally got my setup where I like it, and I am excited, but also like "Guh should I have just waited?"

The update process should be simple but may be buggy while things are ironed out. Installing a second copy of Automatic1111 would allow you to test SDXL without causing issues with your current setup, in case it takes a while.

New loras/embeddings/etc will have to be created for SDXL. Any pre-existing loras will only work with older models, so the community will have to spend time training new ones for SDXL

This makes sense. Damn it's going to take a while to get all new models trained up again, there's such a wealth of them right now
