A node graph for image and video models. Steeper to learn than anything else here, and the only one that lets you build exactly the pipeline you want.

A large open-weights image model with notably better prompt adherence and text rendering than the Stable Diffusion line.
Open weights, but not an open-source licence: the [dev] weights are non-commercial. It is a 12-billion-parameter model, so the memory requirement is real — quantised community builds bring it onto 8 and 12 GB cards at a quality cost.
The released weights are distilled from a larger model and are noticeably reluctant about anatomy; the community fine-tunes exist for the same reason they do for SDXL.
A node graph for image and video models. Steeper to learn than anything else here, and the only one that lets you build exactly the pipeline you want.
The image model hub: checkpoints, LoRAs and the example images that show what they actually do. Indispensable, and volatile.
Image generation as a native Mac and iPhone app. Free, local, and startlingly good at running large models on Apple silicon.
A polished, professional-feeling image studio with a unified canvas. The one to show someone who bounced off the others.
Another descendant of the AUTOMATIC1111 interface, aimed at breadth: many model families, and AMD and Intel GPUs as first-class targets.
A fork of AUTOMATIC1111's interface, reworked underneath for speed and lower memory use. The same screen, faster, on less VRAM.
