While AUTOMATIC is certainly popular, calling it the most active/popular would be ignoring the community working on Invoke. Forks don’t lie.

They sure do. InvokeAI is a fork of the original repo CompVis/stable-diffusion and thus shares its fork counter. Those 4.1k forks are coming from CompVis/stable-diffusion, not InvokeAI.

Meanwhile AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui is not a fork itself, and has 511 forks.

Subjectively, AUTOMATIC has taken over -- I have not heard of invoke yet but will check it out.

The only reason to use it imo has been if you need mac/m1 support, but that's probably in other forks by now

Welp - TIL.

Thanks for the correction.

Any idea on how to count forks of a downstream fork? If anyone would know... :)
