How To Enable Stable Diffusion Web UI With OpenVINO™ Acceleration

Unable to run Stable Diffusion Web UI with OpenVINO™ acceleration (WebUI fails to launch or runs without OpenVINO acceleration after setup).

1. Install Python 3.10.x* and add Python* to PATH.
2. Install Git* for Windows.
3. Download Stable Diffusion Web UI with the following command:
   git clone https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/stable-diffusion-webui.git
4. Add huggingface_hub==0.20.2 to requirements_versions.txt.
5. Install required packages by running the following command:
   pip install -r requirements_versions.txt
6. Run Stable Diffusion Web UI with OpenVINO™ Acceleration by executing webui-user.bat script.

This guidance applies to the OpenVINO Stable Diffusion WebUI fork and is not an officially validated OpenVINO™ GenAI deployment path; behavior may vary by OpenVINO and fork versions. If this fork no longer works with current OpenVINO, use the official OpenVINO diffusion notebooks as the supported reference workflow.
