24 alternatives to I made a local wrapper for Automatic 1111

I made an open-source Python library for the Stable Diffusion Web UI. It's a direct alternative to Huggingface Diffusers except it has more features + runs the same scripts as A1111 so the results are replicable. Please give it a star on Github! https://github.com/saketh12/Auto1111SDK

Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. I made a local wrapper for Automatic 1111 launched in 2024; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

  1. 1

    I built an open souce, lightweight, fast Python library to run all of Automatic 1111. Compared to the API from Automatic 1111, the SDK is also much more lightweight than running all of stable diffusion webui just to use its API on localhost and takes up considerably less VRAM. Additionally, the API doesn't support upscaling, inpainting, outpainting, which we support right now. It also does not support extensions like controlnet, dreambooth that we plan to add. Compared to Huggingface diffusers, we are 2x faster and detail the many advantages we have over them here:…

    Hey everyone! Excited to be able to share the release of `InvokeAI 2.0 - A Stable Diffusion Toolkit`, an open source project that aims to provide both enthusiasts and professionals a suite of robust image creation tools. Optimized for efficiency, InvokeAI needs only ~3.5GB of VRAM to generate a 512x768 image (and less for smaller images), and is compatible with Windows/Linux/Mac (M1 & M2). InvokeAI was one of the earliest forks off of the core CompVis repo (formerly lstein/stable-diffusion), and recently evolved into a full-fledged community driven and open source stable…

    Hey hn, this has been something I've been working on for the last few months and is finally robust enough to really show off. I've been pretty tired with the design outputs of LLMs for a while, and I've always thought diffusion offered much more creative / on brand design outputs, even before they were able to render text. I had enough conviction for this to leave my role over at Figma to build Diffui. The goal is to allow for you to design your full web app as quickly as possible, in a figma-like interface, and then hand that off to an agent to build. The page shows some interactive…

    I was frustrated with laggy notebook stable diffusion demos. Plus they usually didn't have all the features I wanted (for example some of them only had inpainting and some only had img2img, so if I wanted both I had to repeatedly copy images between notebooks). So I made this desktop frontend which has much smoother performance than notebook alternatives and integrates image generation, inpainting and img2img into the same workflow. See a video demo here: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6392321/191858568-... Features include: * Can run locally or connect to a…

    Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…

    Hello everyone! I've been working on this project for a few months as part of my thesis in Machine Learning. It's meant to be a library that provides an easy-to-use but flexible API to design and train Diffusion Models. I decided to make it because I wanted to quickly prototype a Diffusion Model but there were no good tools to do it with. I think it really can help people prototype their own Diffusion Models a lot faster and only in a few lines of code. The base idea is to have a Model class that takes different modules corresponding to the different aspects of the Diffusion Model process…

    Hey HN! My friends and I built a new platform for generating images. The app is easy to use for people who find ComfyUI hard to use, or just simply don’t have a GPU to use it on. For those not familiar, ComfyUI is a great tool for using open-source models like Stable Diffusion. It’s primarily great because it’s a node-based tool, which means you can chain together models, upscalers, prompting nodes, etc… which let you create images in the exact aesthetic you want. There’s also a vibrant dev community behind ComfyUI, which means that there are a ton of nodes and customizability. We’re users…

    Hey HN, Obviously we are experiencing a surge of stable-diffusion based apps at the moment, but I have yet to see anyone try and map the outputs onto actual physical products that can be delivered to your door. I wanted to make it easy to: - pick an artistic style - hit 'record' and speak into your phone / tablet / desktop or whatever, and describe the kind of design you want your clothing to have (since speaking is more spontaneous that typing) - swipe among a variety of mockups (t-shirts, hoodies etc.) featuring your design, and order it to your door with the click of a button…

Key features in this release: Filters for selective downloads → fetch only what you need (e.g. specific GGUF quant variants like q4_0, q5_0), with optional auto-subdir layout. Resumable by default → SHA-256 verified for LFS files, size checks for others, multipart range resume per part. Terminal UX → live TUI with per-file progress, speeds, ETA; plain text fallback in constrained environments. CI-friendly → structured --json progress events, concurrency limits,…

    Hi, this is the first app in a while (probably 10 years) that I submitted to AppStore. I've done this app in 3 weeks, so there are a lot to be polished. The technology that enables this I discussed in depth in an accompanied blog post: https://liuliu.me/eyes/stretch-iphone-to-its-limit-a-2gib-mo... Some parts of it (or major parts) is also available at https://github.com/liuliu/swift-diffusion. I plan to port more stuff back to swift-diffusion and make a CLI tool out of it (it is a bit more work than the app because I need to consider CUDA…

    Try it at: ssh krnl.duetbrowser.com No sign up, totally free - no download. Let me know what you think. Prior art exists (brow.sh) but I wasn't satisfied with their graphical take. I wanted the raw, old skool terminal days of the early internet - BBS, and old green phosphor library comptuers - but running the modern web, with all the bells and jingle jangle whistles (JavaScript, etc). No funding, no VC, just 100% raw terminal fun. Not sure how long the demo will last, but try it out.
