Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) Installation Guide
SDXL is Awesome
Stable Diffusion XL (also known as SDXL) has been released with its 1.0 version and in this guide, I show how to install it in Automatic1111 with simple steps. Before watching this tutorial you will be needing Automatic111 webUI which you can find on Google, there are plenty of other guides that will go and explain how it's done exactly.
► Download the following https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0/tree/main and https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-refiner-1.0/tree/main (Refinement, not necessary but cool)
► If you want better Image Upscaler I recommend looking into Gigapixel - https://www.topazlabs.com/shop/ref/1991/?campaign=Gigapixel
With Stable Diffusion XL, you can create descriptive images with shorter prompts and generate words within images. The model is a significant advancement in image generation capabilities, offering enhanced image composition and face generation that results in stunning visuals and realistic aesthetics.

Now just to be clear that the original SD model is still very good for non-photographic images like Anime, so I don't think everyone will be doing a total switchover here myself included.
