🌟 What's New in 3.6.0

• UI/UX Overhaul
  • We're overhauling our brand as we continue to grow into serving businesses & enterprises with solving their deployment challenges for generative AI. At our core, we're the same - Same mission, same team, same commitment to OSS. See "Things to Know" below when upgrading from 3.4

‼️ Things to Know:

• When upgrading from 3.4 via the updater script, the UI will not render and will display an error: {"detail":"Not Found"}. To fix this error, open the developer console from the invoke.bat / invoke.sh menu and run: pip install --use-pep517 --upgrade --force-reinstall InvokeAI==v3.6.0
• bfloat16 is now able to be used with Invoke. The use of bfloat16 will result in different generation results from previous versions of Invoke.
• Currently known issues:
  • Scan for Models is currently disabled due to the Model Manager refactor

Invoke might revert to CPU (NVIDIA GPU only)

• Some users have experienced torch reverting to the CPU rather than their GPU. To fix this follow these steps:

1. Launch your invoke.bat / invoke.sh and select the option to open the developer console
2. Run: pip install --force-reinstall torch==2.1.2 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
3. If you run into an error with typing_extensions, run: pip install -U typing-extensions
4. If there is an error with fsspec, run pip install -U fsspec==2023.5.0

💿 Installation and Upgrading:

To install version 3.6.0, please download the zip file at the bottom of the release notes (under "Assets"), unpack it, and then double-click to launch the script install.sh (Macintosh, Linux) or install.bat (Windows). Alternatively, you can open a command-line window and execute the installation script directly.

If you already have InvokeAI version 3.x installed, you can update by running invoke.sh / invoke.bat and selecting "Updated InvokeAI" to upgrade, or you can download and run the installer in your existing InvokeAI installation location.

🚨 Please ensure your generation queue has no pending items before upgrading. Pending generations may fail after an upgrade. 🚨

Download the installer: InvokeAI-installer-v3.6.0.zip

💻 Developer Changes

There are a number of important changes for contributors in this release.

Frontend/UI

The biggest change is that the frontend build is no longer included in main. If you run the app off a clone of the repo, you’ll need to build the frontend to use the UI. See the “Impact to Contributors” section on this PR #5253.

Model Manager

The Model Manager is partway through a redesign, to make it more capable and maintainable. The redesign will support a much better user experience for downloading, installing and managing models. The changes are in the repo, but implemented separately from the user-facing app.

⚙️ Contributing:

As a community-supported project, we rely on volunteers and enthusiasts for continued innovation and polish. Everything from minor documentation fixes to major feature additions is welcome. To get started as a contributor, please refer to How to Contribute or reach out to imic on Discord!
