Fooocus is an open source generative artificial intelligence program that allows users to generate images from a text prompt.[3][4] It uses Stable Diffusion as the base model for its image capabilities as well as a collection of default settings and prompts to make the image generation process more streamlined.[3][4][5]

History

Fooocus was created by Lvmin Zhang, a doctoral student at Stanford University who previously studied at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Soochow University.[6][7] He is also the main author of ControlNet,[8][6][9] which has been adopted by many other Stable Diffusion interfaces such as AUTOMATIC1111 Stable Diffusion Web UI and ComfyUI. As of 9 July 2024, the project had 38.1k stars on GitHub.[10]

Features

Fooocus' main feature is that it is easy to set up and does not require users to manually configure model parameters to achieve desirable results.[6][3][11][12] According to the project, it uses GPT-2 to automatically add more detail to the user's prompts.[13] It includes common extensions such LCM Low-rank adaptation by default which allows for faster generation speed.[4][14] Fooocus prefers a photographic style by default, with a list of predefined styles to chose from.[3][15] While Fooocus aims to provide good results out of the box, it also includes an "advanced" tab that allows for user customization.[16] The user interface is based on Gradio.[17]
