How to Code Stable Diffusion Directly in Python on RunPod

Running Stable Diffusion directly within Jupyter Notebook on a RunPod setup offers a streamlined alternative to using a user interface, facilitating an iterative image generation process by allowing users to modify and execute code snippets with ease. By deploying a pod with the official RunPod Stable Diffusion template, users can access Jupyter, download models from Huggingface or CivitAI, and execute Python code to generate images by passing parameters like scheduler type and denoising steps to the model. This method is particularly beneficial for tasks requiring multiple iterations, as it simplifies the process of creating and comparing different versions of an image, which can be cumbersome with a traditional UI. Additionally, tools like the Pillow library can be used to compile results for easy comparison, and employing coding assistants can further expedite the workflow, making it an efficient approach for generating and refining images.
