[Bug]: Project dead?

[robertgro]

What happened?

Is this project dead? Files and dependencies are not up to date and not working at all (e.g. incompatible Python version)

Logs (starting webui.bat yields)

venv "C:\Users\admin\Desktop\automatic1111-stable-diffusion-webui-1.10.1\stable-diffusion-webui-1.10.1\venv\Scripts\Python.exe"

INCOMPATIBLE PYTHON VERSION

This program is tested with 3.10.6 Python, but you have 3.14.4.
If you encounter an error with "RuntimeError: Couldn't install torch." message,
or any other error regarding unsuccessful package (library) installation,
please downgrade (or upgrade) to the latest version of 3.10 Python
and delete current Python and "venv" folder in WebUI's directory.

You can download 3.10 Python from here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3106/

Alternatively, use a binary release of WebUI: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/releases/tag/v1.0.0-pre

Use --skip-python-version-check to suppress this warning.

Nah- we are cooking

A1111 currently requires Python 3.10.x. If you have a newer version installed system-wide, you can create a venv with a specific version. Install Python 3.10 alongside your current version, then point the venv at it.

So claims a ComfyUI version is better, but we found that not to be the case. 1.10.1 was the last release. So there are some modification required now to install it because of both github authenication and legacy repositories not available. Why we look at this and continue to love it even if older. Local Tool, unlimited generations, uncensored version.

Why we also started to look at update and installing. Using Apple M4. Yes west still have intel with eGPU but M4 and MX series in general use cpu+gpu Apple designed apps. But even then those are often slower.

Our lasted venture was trying the new M4 drivers for eGPU for compute only, no success geting this to work with it. So the app runs using Metal. Slower, but we continue to tweak to get better performances on heavy generations complex settings.

Will we rewrite some code, not sure yet.But we also would like the design team to continue to work it. Even with many cloud base Generative AI sites, we still think this is top on our tool list. Not a fan of ComfyUI.

We run OS X 15 M4(intel we have slight different vesions)

version: v1.10.1  •  python: 3.10.20  •  torch: 2.3.1  •  xformers: N/A  •  gradio: 3.41.2  •  checkpoint: fdbe56354b

Python 3.14 is out. In the past we have tried newer version of Python with mixed results on intel, but have yet to return to tyring new version, but recall M4 series we did get an update working, but for now keeping 3.10.x version in production.
