After the fight over whether Forge had (or was using, I don't quite understand these technical things) ComfyUI components (from what I understand), the project seems to have died out.

If it is indeed dead, then which UI do we switch to? I've never had better performance with even A1111.

Yeah, I configured my run.bat to auto update on every run, so I've noticed there hasn't been any commit for weeks. Why though? It's such a good version of webui!

Agreed I like the work put into things not supported by auto, does not feel as stable as auto since switching back but could be awesome.

Will it be updated, yes or no?

Anybody know how to switch to a different and more up-to-date fork, and pull updates from it?

Gushousekai195 avatar Apr 22 '24 02:04 Gushousekai195

Forge is such a massive improvement over auto it would be a tragedy if development was abandoned. But even small fixes like typos haven't been merged in weeks. I understand @lllyasviel can't possibly do it all - How can I best support this without being a coder myself?

I've parked SDNext to the side and moved to Forge which I like better. I really hope this project continues on with updates.

I have RTX4090 and for me Automatic1111 speed is worse than Forge. I'm waiting for SwarmUI to include equivalent inpainting features that are avaiable in Automatic1111 and I can fully switch to SwarmUI but till now even a basic inpainting does not work properly with SwarmUI.

SwarmUI is the best right now NOT the inpainting features.

I hope there will be a return to this great project. Thanks)

relax Forge isnt Dead or anything if you go Pull Request Page you can see there whats Being Worked on and What tasks are being Done and same on issues Tab you can See what issues and Tasks are being Fixed and other Things and i implore you not to Ask lllyasviel to Rush Things let them Work everything out at their own pace

LadyFlames avatar Apr 26 '24 14:04 LadyFlames

I tried switching back to A1111 after I noticed the lack of updates, but quickly went back to forge because anything else is slow. I will probably use it untill one of the other repositories catches up with forge's godly inference. I really hope this is just a small break, and that updates will resume eventually.

I really like Forge, except that many of the built in extensions are not documented anywhere, and unless you are lucky you will have a tough time finding out what they are and how to make them work.

And where do you see this work being done @LadyFlames. I don't see a single commit or PR review done since the 5th of March image

He hasn't responded to anything here, not even to the issues topics, since the confusion about whether forge was using comfyui's code (I can't explain properly because I don't understand these more technical discussions)

I m really sad... :( Forge is so good! But i don't understand: A1111, Forge, ComfyUI... are Open Source Softs? So everybody can copy/change the code? I m a noob so tell me if i m wrong...

They're open-source (as far as I understand, you can use them, but you also have to give proper credits). But from what I understood, the issue is about credits for using the code. The author of Forge said they didn't use ComfyUI's codes as their back-end, only those from Automatic 1111. However, the author of ComfyUI claimed that they did use them.

Here's the discussion: https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/discussions/169

OK i understand more... Its so bad anyway... :(

Yea there are no updates for weeks. Nothing major since the release. I think it's abandoned. Even the Fooocus updates slowed down. Either he lost interest (understandable), or he took a break.

Either way, we're fortunate to have tons of UI options. From ComfyUi to, SD Next, to WebUI to tons of others. Forge is good, but it's not be all and end all. With or without Forge, community will make amazing stuff, so move on and leave it to RIP

The only thing I'm struggling with is finding a UI with the speed of forge, that also has options for https connections and mobile UI support

Try not to be discouraged. I think there will be updates and if your copy is working OK at this point, use it. Also, there is a new version of A1111 that has some nice new features.

I had both of these totally screwed up by loading one or several extenstions - they just refused to go beyond a few startup lines. I simply reloaded them and they work fine now. Be sure before you uninstall or delete to save some of the extensions and all of the models etc. before deleting. Then you can put them back and save a lot of time.

if you want something else to try in the meantime Try Stability Matrix since that has a built in image generator called inference you dont even need to open your browser for UI to use inference you can use it directly from your desktop

Guys! I've been in contact with someone who has a fork of Forge. They appear to have had contact with lllyasviel himself. Screenshot_20240501_115723 The definition of "soon" I do not know.

Gushousekai195 avatar May 01 '24 18:05 Gushousekai195

i hate to say it but i told you so its just a Matter of Patience and Waiting

LadyFlames avatar May 02 '24 15:05 LadyFlames

It would be nice if they (lllysviel) could just write somewhere himself, as little as "busy atm - Forge not dead. Development will resume in the foreseeable future"

altoiddealer avatar May 03 '24 14:05 altoiddealer

hopefully he will but i have no clue the only thing the rest of us can do is Be patient and wait

LadyFlames avatar May 03 '24 15:05 LadyFlames

The silence is very loud at this point. It's dead, Jim.
