Summary: in this post, I discuss the X/Y Plot script for a practical task: I want to analyze the 50+ models I have in my Stable Diffusion install to find any treasures I’ve missed and to bury models that I don’t like. I also study the impact of steps and CFG with the same script. And then I admit to an oversight in my analysis, and discover an extension to address that oversight. What did I learn?
The other day, I was in Automatic1111 and decided to switch to another model to try out my current prompt. When I clicked on the model drop down, my first reaction was: whoa, that’s way too many models! I realized I had been downloading some models that maybe I tried once or twice but then forgot about. Did I not like them? Are there hidden gems in here?
I wanted to get organized. My goal:
- Move models I didn’t like for my prompts into a deprioritized subfolder.
- Move models that are way too big for me to load into my graphics card (but okay for mixing new models) into their own “Big” (aka, don’t try to load) subfolder.
- Move models that I created with a Google Collab Dreambooth process into their own subfolder.
- Move 2.1 models into their own subfolder since they are pretty useless to me.
The last three are easy to do. Done. I named the folders zBig, zDreambooth, and z2–1 (I prefixed them with a ‘z’ so that they’ll be pushed to the end of the model drop down list).
