This week brought big news in the world of AI art, with two of the most popular user interfaces (UIs) for Stable Diffusion announcing major upgrades. Automatic 1111 and InvokeAI, leading tools for running the open-source Stable Diffusion models SD 1.5, SD 2.1 and the brand new SDXL, released significant updates that promise more features and better performance.

Automatic 1111, known for its simple interface and active community support, unveiled version 1.6.0 yesterday.
