Stable Diffusion WebUI Forge
Stable Diffusion WebUI Forge is a platform on top of Stable Diffusion WebUI (based on Gradio) to make development easier, optimize resource management, and speed up inference.
The name "Forge" is inspired from "Minecraft Forge". This project is aimed at becoming SD WebUI's Forge.
Compared to original WebUI (for SDXL inference at 1024px), you can expect the below speed-ups:
- If you use common GPU like 8GB vram, you can expect to get about 30~45% speed up in inference speed (it/s), the GPU memory peak (in task manager) will drop about 700MB to 1.3GB, the maximum diffusion resolution (that will not OOM) will increase about 2x to 3x, and the maximum diffusion batch size (that will not OOM) will increase about 4x to 6x.
- If you use less powerful GPU like 6GB vram, you can expect to get about 60~75% speed up in inference speed (it/s), the GPU memory peak (in task manager) will drop about 800MB to 1.5GB, the maximum diffusion resolution (that will not OOM) will increase about 3x, and the maximum diffusion batch size (that will not OOM) will increase about 4x.
- If you use powerful GPU like 4090 with 24GB vram, you can expect to get about 3~6% speed up in inference speed (it/s), the GPU memory peak (in task manager) will drop about 1GB to 1.4GB, the maximum diffusion resolution (that will not OOM) will increase about 1.6x, and the maximum diffusion batch size (that will not OOM) will increase about 2x.
- If you use ControlNet for SDXL, the maximum ControlNet count (that will not OOM) will increase about 2x, the speed with SDXL+ControlNet will speed up about 30~45%.
Another very important change that Forge brings is Unet Patcher. Using Unet Patcher, methods like Self-Attention Guidance, Kohya High Res Fix, FreeU, StyleAlign, Hypertile can all be implemented in about 100 lines of codes.
Thanks to Unet Patcher, many new things are possible now and supported in Forge, including SVD, Z123, masked Ip-adapter, masked controlnet, photomaker, etc.
No need to monkeypatch UNet and conflict other extensions anymore!
Forge also adds a few samplers, including but not limited to DDPM, DDPM Karras, DPM++ 2M Turbo, DPM++ 2M SDE Turbo, LCM Karras, Euler A Turbo, etc. (LCM is already in original webui since 1.7.0).
Finally, Forge promise that we will only do our jobs. Forge will never add unnecessary opinioned changes to the user interface. You are still using 100% Automatic1111 WebUI.
Installing Forge
If you are proficient in Git and you want to install Forge as another branch of SD-WebUI, please see here. In this way, you can reuse all SD checkpoints and all extensions you installed previously in your OG SD-WebUI, but you should know what you are doing.
If you know what you are doing, you can install Forge using same method as SD-WebUI. (Install Git, Python, Git Clone the forge repo https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge.git and then run webui-user.bat).
Or you can just use this one-click installation package (with git and python included).
After you download, you uncompress, use update.bat to update, and use run.bat to run.
Note that running update.bat is important, otherwise you may be using a previous version with potential bugs unfixed.
Screenshots of Comparison
I tested with several devices, and this is a typical result from 8GB VRAM (3070ti laptop) with SDXL.
This is original WebUI:
(average about 7.4GB/8GB, peak at about 7.9GB/8GB)
This is WebUI Forge:
(average and peak are all 6.3GB/8GB)
You can see that Forge does not change WebUI results. Installing Forge is not a seed breaking change.
Forge can perfectly keep WebUI unchanged even for most complicated prompts like fantasy landscape with a [mountain:lake:0.25] and [an oak:a christmas tree:0.75][ in foreground::0.6][ in background:0.25] [shoddy:masterful:0.5].
All your previous works still work in Forge!
Forge Backend
Forge backend removes all WebUI's codes related to resource management and reworked everything. All previous CMD flags like medvram, lowvram, medvram-sdxl, precision full, no half, no half vae, attention_xxx, upcast unet, ... are all REMOVED. Adding these flags will not cause error but they will not do anything now. We highly encourage Forge users to remove all cmd flags and let Forge to decide how to load models.
Without any cmd flag, Forge can run SDXL with 4GB vram and SD1.5 with 2GB vram.
Some flags that you may still pay attention to:
--always-offload-from-vram(This flag will make things slower but less risky). This option will let Forge always unload models from VRAM. This can be useful if you use multiple software together and want Forge to use less VRAM and give some VRAM to other software, or when you are using some old extensions that will compete vram with Forge, or (very rarely) when you get OOM.--cuda-malloc(This flag will make things faster but more risky). This will ask pytorch to use cudaMallocAsync for tensor malloc. On some profilers I can observe performance gain at millisecond level, but the real speed up on most my devices are often unnoticed (about or less than 0.1 second per image). This cannot be set as default because many users reported issues that the async malloc will crash the program. Users need to enable this cmd flag at their own risk.--cuda-stream(This flag will make things faster but more risky). This will use pytorch CUDA streams (a special type of thread on GPU) to move models and compute tensors simultaneously. This can almost eliminate all model moving time, and speed up SDXL on 30XX/40XX devices with small VRAM (eg, RTX 4050 6GB, RTX 3060 Laptop 6GB, etc) by about 15% to 25%. However, this unfortunately cannot be set as default because I observe higher possibility of pure black images (Nan outputs) on 2060, and higher chance of OOM on 1080 and 2060. When the resolution is large, there is a chance that the computation time of one single attention layer is longer than the time for moving entire model to GPU. When that happens, the next attention layer will OOM since the GPU is filled with the entire model, and no remaining space is available for computing another attention layer. Most overhead detecting methods are not robust enough to be reliable on old devices (in my tests). Users need to enable this cmd flag at their own risk.--pin-shared-memory(This flag will make things faster but more risky). Effective only when used together with--cuda-stream. This will offload modules to Shared GPU Memory instead of system RAM when offloading models. On some 30XX/40XX devices with small VRAM (eg, RTX 4050 6GB, RTX 3060 Laptop 6GB, etc), I can observe significant (at least 20%) speed-up for SDXL. However, this unfortunately cannot be set as default because the OOM of Shared GPU Memory is a much more severe problem than common GPU memory OOM. Pytorch does not provide any robust method to unload or detect Shared GPU Memory. Once the Shared GPU Memory OOM, the entire program will crash (observed with SDXL on GTX 1060/1050/1066), and there is no dynamic method to prevent or recover from the crash. Users need to enable this cmd flag at their own risk.
If you really want to play with cmd flags, you can additionally control the GPU with:
(extreme VRAM cases)
--always-gpu
--always-cpu
(rare attention cases)
--attention-split
--attention-quad
--attention-pytorch
--disable-xformers
--disable-attention-upcast
(float point type)
--all-in-fp32
--all-in-fp16
--unet-in-bf16
--unet-in-fp16
--unet-in-fp8-e4m3fn
--unet-in-fp8-e5m2
--vae-in-fp16
--vae-in-fp32
--vae-in-bf16
--clip-in-fp8-e4m3fn
--clip-in-fp8-e5m2
--clip-in-fp16
--clip-in-fp32
(rare platforms)
--directml
--disable-ipex-hijack
--pytorch-deterministic
Again, Forge do not recommend users to use any cmd flags unless you are very sure that you really need these.
UNet Patcher
Note that Forge does not use any other software as backend. The full name of the backend is Stable Diffusion WebUI with Forge backend, or for simplicity, the Forge backend. The API and python symbols are made similar to previous software only for reducing the learning cost of developers.
Now developing an extension is super simple. We finally have a patchable UNet.
Below is using one single file with 80 lines of codes to support FreeU:

))
return
It looks like this:
Similar components like HyperTile, KohyaHighResFix, SAG, can all be implemented within 100 lines of codes (see also the codes).
ControlNets can finally be called by different extensions.
Implementing Stable Video Diffusion and Zero123 are also super simple now (see also the codes).

Note that although the above codes look like independent codes, they actually will automatically offload/unload any other models. For example, below is me opening webui, load SDXL, generated an image, then go to SVD, then generated image frames. You can see that the GPU memory is perfectly managed and the SDXL is moved to RAM then SVD is moved to GPU.
Note that this management is fully automatic. This makes writing extensions super simple.
Similarly, Zero123:
Write a simple ControlNet:
Below is a simple extension to have a completely independent pass of ControlNet that never conflicts any other extensions:
extensions-builtin/sd_forge_controlnet_example/scripts/sd_forge_controlnet_example.py
Note that this extension is hidden because it is only for developers. To see it in UI, use --show-controlnet-example.
The memory optimization in this example is fully automatic. You do not need to care about memory and inference speed, but you may want to cache objects if you wish.

New features (that are not available in original WebUI)
Thanks to Unet Patcher, many new things are possible now and supported in Forge, including SVD, Z123, masked Ip-adapter, masked controlnet, photomaker, etc.
Masked Ip-Adapter
Masked ControlNet
PhotoMaker
(Note that photomaker is a special control that need you to add the trigger word "photomaker". Your prompt should be like "a photo of photomaker")
Marigold Depth
New Samplers (that are not in origin)
DDPM
DDPM Karras
DPM++ 2M Turbo
DPM++ 2M SDE Turbo
LCM Karras
Euler A Turbo
About Extensions
ControlNet and TiledVAE are integrated, and you should uninstall these two extensions:
sd-webui-controlnet
multidiffusion-upscaler-for-automatic1111
Note that AnimateDiff is under construction by continue-revolution at sd-webui-animatediff forge/master branch and sd-forge-animatediff (they are in sync). (continue-revolution original words: prompt travel, inf t2v, controlnet v2v have been proven to work well; motion lora, i2i batch still under construction and may be finished in a week")
Other extensions should work without problems, like:
canvas-zoom
translations/localizations
Dynamic Prompts
Adetailer
Ultimate SD Upscale
Reactor
However, if newer extensions use Forge, their codes can be much shorter.
Usually if an old extension rework using Forge's unet patcher, 80% codes can be removed, especially when they need to call controlnet.
Contribution
Forge uses a bot to get commits and codes from https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/tree/dev every afternoon (if merge is automatically successful by a git bot, or by my compiler, or by my ChatGPT bot) or mid-night (if my compiler and my ChatGPT bot both failed to merge and I review it manually).
All PRs that can be implemented in https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/tree/dev should submit PRs there.
Feel free to submit PRs related to the functionality of Forge here.
