HuggingFace

Automatic Model Download

Manual model download from HuggingFace is supported in SD.Next, but not preferred way as SD.Next has a built-in model downloader.

You can simply type the model repo id in the model selection dropdown and SD.Next will search for it and download it automatically into the correct folder.

Example:
Type Laxhar/noobai-XL-Vpred-1.0 into the model selection dropdown

Manual Model Download

Prefferred method

for manually downloading a model from hugginface to your local directory:

hf download --cache-dir <path-to-sdnext-diffusers-folder> <autor>/<repo-id-on-huggingface>

This will automatically create folder structure as expected by sdnext for huggingface models

Note

hf command cli guide

Important

You must set folder to a correct Diffusers folder as specified in your SD.Next config

Example:

hf download --cache-dir /sdnext/models/Diffusers/ Laxhar/noobai-XL-Vpred-1.0

Which downloaded the model into /sdnext/models/Diffusers/models--Laxhar--noobai-XL-Vpred-1.0/ folder
And model becomes visible in sdnext under name noobai-XL-Vpred-1.0

Note that in this case, model folder should not be prefixed with models--<author>-- as per standard huggingface folder structure as to indicate to SD.Next that this is a manually downloaded model and should be treated as such

Alternative method

You can do full download as-is using any tool For example: browser, git lfs, wget, curl, hf cli, etc.

Example using hf cli:

hf download --local-dir /sdnext/models/Diffusers/noobai-XL-Vpred-1.0 Laxhar/noobai-XL-Vpred-1.0

Important

In this case, you specify full path to the model folder directly and that name is what SD.Next will use to identify the model
