Hi all, relatively new here, I’ve got Automatic1111 installed, a few loras, a couple extensions, been having a lot of fun with it. That being said obviously the biggest thing holding SD back is the 512x512 resolution so SDXL seems really exciting.
What’s the upgrade process expected to look like? Will it require setting everything up again from new? Will it be as simple as dumping a new model in? Will extensions/loras/models/whatevers work out of the box or will we need everything to be retrained and new?
I feel like I finally got my setup where I like it, and I am excited, but also like “Guh should I have just waited?”

The real value of SDXL isn’t the higher native resolution, its the improvements in rendering fingers and text and so on. But honestly I have not yet been super impressed by SDXL, in the same way that I want to stay playing the old game with all its DLC and mods. SDXL is good, but until we have the same depth of resources available I am staying with 1.5.
I feel the same way but I seem to have fubar’d my 1.5 install.
I’ve been watching civitai closely as new models come out. Really looking for a good realism model.
The update process should be simple but may be buggy while things are ironed out. Installing a second copy of Automatic1111 would allow you to test SDXL without causing issues with your current setup, in case it takes a while.
New loras/embeddings/etc will have to be created for SDXL. Any pre-existing loras will only work with older models, so the community will have to spend time training new ones for SDXL
You probably just need to download the SDXL model and update Automatic.
is updating automatic just
git pull?Yeah, should suffice.
