The tutorial also covers how to bypass content restrictions and save the generated images, offering a flexible approach to creating diverse visual content.
Takeaways
- 🚫 Google Colab's free plan bans the use of graphical interfaces such as Automatic1111, but it's still possible to use Stable Diffusion without a GUI.
- 🔍 To bypass the disconnect, one can utilize the Hugging Face's Stable Diffusion library within Google Colab by installing necessary dependencies via pip.
- 📚 The documentation for Stable Diffusion is available on Hugging Face's website, providing code examples for various image generation tasks.
- 💻 Google Colab allows running Python code sections by adding an exclamation mark before pip install commands to execute them in the command line.
- 🔗 Dependencies such as 'diffusers', 'Transformers', and 'accelerate' need to be installed in Colab to use Stable Diffusion.
- 🛠️ The code for generating images with Stable Diffusion involves importing necessary libraries, setting up the pipeline, and defining parameters like prompt, height, width, and guidance scale.
- 🖼️ Generated images can be displayed within Google Colab and saved directly from the output section.
- 🎨 Different checkpoints can be used to define the style of the generated images, such as 'Magic Mix' for a more artistic look or 'Cetus Mix' for anime style.
- 📈 Advanced users can customize the pipeline further by adjusting parameters like the number of inference steps and negative prompts to refine the image generation process.
- 🔒 To generate NSFW (Not Safe For Work) images, the safety checker of the pipeline needs to be set to 'none', which bypasses Colab's content restrictions.
Q & A

What is the first step to start using stable diffusion in Google Colab?
-The first step is to go to Google Colab by visiting research.google.com, log in with a Google account, and create a new notebook where the code will be written and executed.
Where can one find the necessary documentation for generating images using stable diffusion?
-The documentation can be found on the Hugging Face Diffusers website, which provides all the required code to generate images using stable diffusion.
How is the installation of necessary libraries done in Google Colab?
-Installation is done by adding the required pip install commands, such as 'pip install diffusers torch' and 'pip install transformers', preceded by an exclamation mark to run them in the command line through Colab.
What is the purpose of the 'stable diffusion pipelines' in the code?
-The 'stable diffusion pipelines' are used to generate images based on the provided prompts and model checkpoints. They streamline the process of creating images using the stable diffusion model.
How can you display an image generated in Google Colab?
-To display an image in Google Colab, you simply type 'image' followed by the generated image object or the path to the image file.
What is a checkpoint in the context of stable diffusion?
-A checkpoint in stable diffusion is a pre-trained model or a specific style of image generation that can be used to produce images in a particular style or theme, such as realistic, anime, or painting.
How can you change the checkpoint used for image generation in the code?
-You can change the checkpoint by finding a desired model on Hugging Face or similar platforms, copying its identifier, and pasting it into the code where the current checkpoint is specified.
What are the additional settings that can be adjusted in the stable diffusion pipeline?
-Additional settings include height, width, guidance scale, number of inference steps, and negative prompt, among others, which allow for fine-tuning the output image based on specific requirements.
How can you save an image generated in Google Colab?
-To save a generated image in Google Colab, you can right-click on the image and select 'Save image' or use the 'image' command followed by the path where you want to save the image.

🚀 Bypassing Limitations to Use Stable Diffusion in Google Colab
This paragraph introduces the challenge of using Stable Diffusion's web UI, known as Automatic 1111, in Google Colab due to the platform's restrictions on graphical interfaces for free plans. The speaker promises to guide the audience on how to bypass these limitations and generate unlimited images, including NSFW content, in Google Colab's free plan. The process involves navigating to Google Colab, creating a new notebook, and utilizing the documentation from Hugging Face Diffusers to understand the necessary code for image generation. The speaker emphasizes that the process is straightforward and will provide a link to the shared notebook for ease of use.
📚 Understanding and Installing Dependencies for Stable Diffusion
In this paragraph, the speaker delves into the specifics of installing the required dependencies for Stable Diffusion in Google Colab. The process involves using the 'pip install' command with a specific syntax for Colab, which includes prefixing the command with an exclamation mark. The speaker outlines the need to install 'diffusers', 'Transformers', and 'accelerate', as well as the steps to add the necessary code sections to the Colab notebook. The paragraph also explains how to utilize the documentation for Stable Diffusion to find examples of code for generating images and emphasizes the importance of following the instructions carefully to ensure successful execution.
🖌️ Customizing Image Generation with Stable Diffusion in Colab
The speaker continues by demonstrating how to customize the image generation process using Stable Diffusion in Google Colab. This includes selecting different checkpoints for various styles, such as 'Magic Mix' for a more artistic look, and adjusting parameters like height, width, and guidance scale for more control over the output. The paragraph also covers the use of negative prompts to exclude undesired elements from the generated images. The speaker provides a practical example of creating a portrait using the 'Magic Mix' model and explains how to save the generated images. Additionally, the speaker discusses how to bypass safety restrictions to generate NSFW content and how to create non-human themed images, such as a medieval fortress landscape, using different checkpoints.
