New skin and UI layout
Ships with additional extensions
e.g. System Info, Steps Animation, etc.
Ships with set of CLI tools that rely on SD API for execution:
e.g. generate, train, bench, etc.
Full list

Simplified start script: automatic.sh
Existing webui.sh/webui.bat still exist for backward compatibility, fresh installs to auto-install dependencies, etc.

./automatic.sh

Start in default mode with optimizations enabled
Additionally print environment info during startup

Differences

Fork does differ in few things:

Drops compatibility with python 3.7 and requires 3.9
Updated Python libraries to latest known compatible versions
e.g. accelerate, transformers, numpy, etc.
Includes opinionated System and Options configuration
e.g. samplers, upscalers, etc.
Includes reskinned UI
Black and orange dark theme with fixed width options panels and larger previews
Includes SD2 configuration files
Uses simplified folder structure
e.g. /train, /outputs/*
Modified training templates
Built-in LoRA training
Built-in Custom Diffusion training

Only Python library which is not auto-updated is PyTorch itself as that is very system specific
For some Torch optimizations notes, see Wiki

Fork is compatible with regular PyTorch 1.13 as well as pre-release of PyTorch 2.0
See Wiki for Torch optimization notes

Scripts

This repository comes with a large collection of scripts that can be used to process inputs, train, generate, and benchmark models

As well as number of auxiliary scripts that do not rely on WebUI, but can be used for end-to-end solutions such as extract frames from videos, etc.

For full details see Docs
