I am running on the same issue, "Failed to create model quickly;" followed by "loading stable diffusion model: JSONDecodeError...". I am running windows 10 64bit with a gtx960, 2gb of vram. I had a previous version of the web-ui working on this same system a few months ago. I Tried updating the gpu drivers, cuda, downgrading from python 3.10.7 to 3.10.6, and updating pip... nothing worked so far.
