This repository provides a Google Colab notebook for running the Stable Diffusion Web UI, a popular interface for generating images with AI. It is intended for users who want a quick and easy way to access Stable Diffusion capabilities within the familiar Google Colab environment without local setup.

How It Works

The project leverages Google Colab's cloud-based Jupyter notebooks to provide a pre-configured environment for Stable Diffusion. It automates the installation of necessary dependencies and the setup of the web UI, allowing users to launch the interface directly from the notebook. The core advantage is the elimination of local hardware and software configuration hurdles.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install/Run: Open the provided Colab notebook and run the cells.
• Prerequisites: A Google account for Colab and Google Drive access. A Stable Diffusion model checkpoint file (e.g., s-d-v1-4.ckpt) downloaded from Hugging Face and placed in a AI/models folder in your Google Drive.
• Setup: Minimal setup time, primarily involves downloading the model and running notebook cells.
• Links: Original Stable Diffusion Web UI Repo

Highlighted Details

• Simplifies Stable Diffusion Web UI setup for Google Colab users.
• Automates dependency installation and environment configuration.
• Requires manual download and placement of the Stable Diffusion model checkpoint.
