Welcome to the Stable Diffusion community, dedicated to the exploration and discussion of the open source deep learning model known as Stable Diffusion.

Introduced in 2022, Stable Diffusion uses a latent diffusion model to generate detailed images based on text descriptions and can also be applied to other tasks such as inpainting, outpainting, and generating image-to-image translations guided by text prompts. The model was developed by the startup Stability AI, in collaboration with a number of academic researchers and non-profit organizations, marking a significant shift from previous proprietary models that were accessible only via cloud services.

I was curious, do you run Stable Diffusion locally? On someone else's server? What kind of computer do you need to run SD locally?

What were your settings for the CPU usage? I have an older laptop it would be fun to get it running on.

Just install ComfyUI and start it with the --cpu flag. Ensure you have enough system RAM and a swap partition (preferably on nvme/ssd).
