stable diffusion webui colab
A collection of Jupyter notebooks that let you run AUTOMATIC1111's Stable Diffusion WebUI on Google Colab's free GPU, with pre-configured variants for dozens of fine-tuned models (anime, photorealistic, artistic styles). It's a one-click entry point for people who don't have a local GPU and want to experiment with SD without any setup. The repo is explicitly abandoned — the README says to go to TostUI instead.
The sheer breadth of pre-configured model notebooks (150+ in the lite/ directory alone) saved users from having to figure out model weights, extension compatibility, and Colab environment setup themselves. The lite/stable/nightly tier split was a practical design: stable for reliability, nightly for people who wanted the latest extensions. Including DreamBooth and LoRA training branches in the same repo made it a reasonable all-in-one starting point for the SD ecosystem circa 2022–2023.
Abandoned since late 2023 and explicitly deprecated — the README tells you to leave. Google also restricted Colab GPU access for free accounts in 2023, which broke the entire premise for most users. The repo is essentially a static snapshot of a moment in SD's history; SD 1.5 and SD 2.x models that dominate the notebook list are now two generations behind SDXL and SD 3. There's no code worth reading here — it's notebooks that pip-install a third-party WebUI and call it done, so there's nothing to learn from the implementation.
