InvokeAI
With over 27,500 GitHub stars, 350 contributors, and 220 releases since 2022, InvokeAI delivers an industry-leading creative engine that serves as the foundation for multiple commercial AI art products. The web-based UI supports an extensive model ecosystem including Stable Diffusion 1.5 through 3.5, SDXL, Flux.1 Dev, Flux.1 Schnell, Flux.1 Kontext, Flux.2 Klein 4B and 9B, CogView 4, Z-Image, Anima, and Qwen Image — plus externally-hosted models from OpenAI GPT Image, Google Gemini, BytePlus, and Alibaba Cloud via API key integration. The Unified Canvas provides a fully integrated workspace with in-painting, out-painting, brush tools, layer management, and regional guidance for compositing AI-generated content with existing artwork. The node-based Workflow Editor enables building complex generation pipelines with branching logic, connecting text encoders, VAEs, ControlNets, IP-Adapters, and LoRA weights into reusable graphs. Model management handles automatic downloading from HuggingFace and Civitai with conversion between safetensors, diffusers, and checkpoint formats. The backend runs on Python with CUDA, ROCm, and MPS acceleration supporting NVIDIA, AMD, and Apple Silicon GPUs. Multi-user accounts allow shared access to a single InvokeAI server with per-user galleries and settings. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.
