StableSwarmUI released
🕑 Added 2024-04-14 10:18:41 +0000 UTCStability AI has released an exciting new project called “Stable Swarm UI.” This revolutionary tool allows you to utilize GPUs not only on your local network but also in the cloud, unlocking tremendous potential to scale and speed up complex workflows.
The UI is Alpha, and it definitely needs some work, but here are the details if you want to check it out yourself.
You may be able to use Google Colab to run the UI, although I have had mixed results: Colab link if you want to try Swarm: https://colab.research.google.com/github/Stability-AI/StableSwarmUI/blob/master/colab/colab-notebook.ipynb
Installing on Windows
Download The Install-Windows.bat file, store it somewhere you want to install at (not Program Files), and run it.
It should open a command prompt and install itself.
If it closes without going further, try running it again, it sometimes needs to run twice which is probably a bug.
It will place an icon on your desktop that you can use to re-launch the server at any time.
When the installer completes, it will automatically launch the StableSwarmUI server, and open a browser window to the install page.
Follow the install instructions on the page.
After you submit, be patient, some of the install processing take a few minutes (downloading models, etc).
Installing on a Mac
Note: You can only run StableSwarmUI on Mac computers with M1 or M2 (Mx) Apple silicon processors.
Open Terminal.
Ensure your brew packages are updated with brew update.
Verify your brew installation with brew doctor. You should not see any error in the command output.
Install .NET for macOS: (Note this uses a third party package from isen-ng)
brew tap isen-ng/dotnet-sdk-versions brew install --cask dotnet-sdk7-0-400 brew install --cask dotnet-sdk8-0-100Change the directory (cd) to the folder where you want to install StableSwarmUI.
Clone the StableSwarmUI GitHub repository: git clone https://github.com/Stability-AI/StableSwarmUI.
cd StableSwarmUI and run the installation script: ./launch-macos.sh.
The installation starts now and downloads the Stable Diffusion models from the internet. Depending on your internet connection, this may take several minutes. Wait for your web browser to open the StableSwarmUI window.
During the StableSwarmUI installation, you are prompted for the type of backend you want to use. For Mac computers with M1 or M2, you can safely choose the ComfyUI backend and choose the Stable Diffusion XL Base and Refiner models in the Download Models screen.
The project has an official discord channel you can access over here: https://discord.com/invite/stablediffusion
Enjoy! and full video to come!
