The huggingface element of these annoys me. Reading the other comments, this is just a stable diffusion checkpoint, so I should be able to download it and not use the diffusers library or whatever other HF stuff. But it's frustrating that it's tied to a for profit ecosystem like this.
I suppose pytorch is / was Facebook, but if feels more arms length. I don't have to install and run a facebook cli to use it (nobody get any ideas).
You don't need a HF cli, you just need to use git LFS (I believe now part of git) to pull the files off of HF (unfortunately still requiring an account with them). It would be nice to see truly open mirrors for this stuff that don't have to involve any company.
Is it possible to download with curl or git lfs (or other "free" command line tool) with no login? I couldn't find a way to do that with the original sd checkpoints.
i don't think it's at the point where most individuals can financially support the model training, its a company doing all this because it requires the consolidated funds of a business
You can download the checkpoint right from hugging face and diffusers is a library you can use for free, I'm not sure what the issue is here, that people need an account?
