Models vs LoRAs vs Embeddings guide (Stable Diffusion Explained)
TLDRThis video guide clarifies the differences between models, LoRAs, and embeddings in the context of Stable Diffusion. Models, the largest files, handle broad concepts like photorealistic images, with versions like 1.5 and 2.1. LoRAs, medium-sized files, are trained for specific enhancements like faces or objects. Embeddings, the smallest files, are used for minor adjustments, often as negative prompts. The video provides a step-by-step guide on how to use each type within the Stable Diffusion platform, aiming to make image enhancement more accessible for users.

Q & A
What are the largest files in the context of Stable Diffusion and what do they handle?
-The largest files are models or checkpoints, typically ranging from 2 GB to 7 GB. They are designed for handling broad concepts, such as photo-realistic or cartoonish images.
How can one use a specific model in Stable Diffusion?
-To use a certain model, visit the CVI page, find the model you like, copy the URL, and inside Thing Diffusion, navigate to automatic 1111 models stable diffusion. Click the upload icon, paste the URL in the address bar, and hit submit. Then, hit the refresh button and select your model.
What are LoRAs and what is their typical file size?
-LoRAs are medium-sized files, typically ranging from 10 MBes to 200 MB. They are specifically trained for various purposes such as faces, objects, or environments.
How can LoRAs be used to enhance images in Stable Diffusion?
-To use LoRAs, visit CVI, find the LoRA you want, copy the URL, and inside Thing Diffusion, navigate to automatic 111 models Laura. In your files panel, click the upload icon, paste the URL in the address bar, and hit submit. Then, click on show/hide step to reveal the Laura and hit refresh. Use the trigger words listed on Laura's CVI page as positive prompts.
What are textual inversions or embeddings and what are their typical file sizes?
-Textual inversions or embeddings are the smallest files, usually below 100 kilobytes. They are good for making small changes, such as achieving a better picture by adding the embedding as a negative prompt.
How can embeddings be utilized in Stable Diffusion for image enhancement?
-To use embeddings, go to CVI, find the embedding, and copy the URL. Inside Thing Diffusion, navigate to automatically 111 embeddings. Click the upload icon, paste the URL in the address bar, and hit submit. Show/hide icon to reveal the textual inversion tab, hit refresh, and click on the embedding thumbnail to activate it in your prompt field.
What are the different versions of models that one may come across in Stable Diffusion?
-You may come across different versions like 1.5, 2.1, or SDXL, with SDXL being the latest version.
What does AI expect regarding the popularity of LoRAs in image enhancement?
-AI expects LoRAs to become the most popular way of enhancing images due to their specific training for various purposes.
How can one recognize LoRAs on the CVI website?
-On CVI, you can recognize LoRAs by the Lura Tech, which can be Laura or Laura XEL for Stable Fusion Xcel.
What is the role of trigger words in using LoRAs?
-Trigger words serve as positive prompts to guide the enhancement of images using LoRAs, and they can be found on the LoRA's CVI page.
What is the recommended method for achieving a better picture using embeddings?
-The recommended method is to add the embedding as a negative prompt in the prompt field of Stable Diffusion.
How can one join the active community for further questions and discussions on Stable Diffusion?
-For further questions and discussions, one can join the active community on Discord, the link to which will be provided in the comments.
