Automatic 1111, but as a Python Package
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:…
Automatic 1111, but as a Python Package launched on January 31, 2024 with 11 votes, #1,244 of 4,437 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
Automatic 1111 as a Python Package is an open-source library for running Stable Diffusion image generation tasks in Python. It offers a lightweight alternative to the full Automatic 1111 web UI, using less memory while supporting features like upscaling, inpainting, and outpainting that the official API lacks. The library claims twice the speed of Hugging Face Diffusers and plans to add extensions like ControlNet and DreamBooth.

I made a local wrapper for Automatic 11112024 · github.com · ▲9I 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
InvokeAI, an open source Stable Diffusion toolkit and WebUI2022 · github.com · ▲414Hey 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…
A Stable Diffusion desktop frontend with inpainting, img2img and more2022 · github.com · ▲46I 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…
