Releases: invoke-ai/InvokeAI
v4.0.1
🚨 4.0.0 has some major changes. Please read the patch notes. 🚨
🚨 🚨 🚨 Yes - Those patch notes 👇 🚨 🚨 🚨
🎉 What's New in 4.0
💻 Simplified Installation, Updating and Configuration
We've simplified and streamlined installation, making it much faster and more reliable:
- No configuration script - all config is in
invokeai.yaml
- No model installs during installation
- Internal "core" models are downloaded only when they are first requested
- Generation models are installed with the Model Manager UI
- 🚨 No updater - you'll use the installer attached to these releases instead. Selecting the same location will perform an update and leave all your existing images, models, etc. intact.
💖 New Model Manager
The model manager is rewritten in v4.0.0, both frontend and backend. This builds a foundation for future model architectures and brings some exciting new user-facing features:
- All model installation happens via the UI (no configure script)
- Queued model downloads
- Per-model preview images
- Per-model default settings - choose a model’s default VAE, Scheduler, CFG Scale, etc
- User-defined trigger phrases for concepts/LoRAs and models - access by typing the
<
key in any prompt box - API key support for model marketplaces
- 🚨 Autoimport removed - use
Scan Folder
instead
#️⃣ Model Hashing
When you first run v4.0.0, it may take a few minutes to start up as it does a one-time hash of all of your model files.
Do not panic.
Hashes provide a stable identifier for a model that is the same across every platform.
🚨 If you don’t care about this, you can press Ctrl+C to interrupt the process and disable hashing by setting hashing_algorithm: random
setting in invokeai.yaml
.
🎨 Canvas Improvements
The canvas uses a new method for compositing called gradient denoising. This eliminates the need for multiple “passes”, greatly reducing generation time on the canvas. This method also provides substantially improved visual coherence between the masked regions and the rest of the image.
The compositing settings on canvas allow for control over the gradient denoising process.
Major research & experimentation for this novel denoising implementation was led by @dunkeroni, and @blessedcoolant was responsible for managing integration into the canvas UI.
🐛 Known Issue
🚨 Inpainting models on Canvas sometimes kinda give up and output mush. We have a fix en-route, but it will need to wait for 4.1.0.
📈 Fixes and Enhancements
Many small bug fixes, resolved papercuts, and warm fuzzies. Shouting out just a few notable goodies from the community:
- Bulk downloads (download a selection of images or a whole board) @StefanTobler
- Canvas Brush Size Scroll can now be inverted @joshistoast
- Images in the Canvas Staging Area can now be discarded individually @joshistoast
- Numerous fixes and UI enhancements @joshistoast
- Numerous greybeard node things @dunkeroni

💾 Installation and Upgrading
🚨 To install or upgrade to version 4.0, download the zip file from the release notes ("Assets" section), unzip it, and follow the installation instructions. For upgrades, select the same installation location.
Models don't show up after upgrading
Follow these steps. If you are still missing some models, please create an issue on GitHub or ask for help on discord.
🤓 Developer Changes
v4.0.0 is versioned as a major release due to breaking changes:
- The internal nodes API has been refactored to provide a stable public API. 🚨 Node authors should review the migration guide.
- The internal graph execution engine is drastically simplified, resulting in more efficient and performant processing. This carries on from the changes in v3.6.0 in which graphs are no longer stored in the database.

Invoke v4.0.0rc4
This is a Release Candidate. We strongly suggest backing up your database before testing to prevent data loss in case of any issues.
Please let us know if you run into anything unexpected.
What's New
We are now updated to use diffusers:0.27.0 and pytorch 2.2.1!
In RC4, the configs managed in invokeai.yaml are managed differently within the app. As a consequence of this, we will no longer be supporting passing in all configs as args on the invokeai-web
cli command. Instead configs can be passed in via environment variables in the form of INVOKEAI_<name_of_config>
For example:
INVOKEAI_REMOTE_API_TOKENS="[{\"url_regex\":\"huggingface.co/.*\", \"token\":\"example\"}]" invokeai-web
As seen in the example, JSON notation can be used for any config properties that are more complicated than a standard string.
Along with revamping how we manage configs, we've also removed the need for the invokeai-configure
script which was previously required before installation.
RC1 supported the setting skip_model_hash in invokeai.yaml. In RC2, this is replaced by a more flexible setting hashing_algorithm.
New Model Manager
The model manager is rewritten in v4.0.0, both frontend and backend. This builds a foundation for future model architectures and brings some exciting new user-facing features:
- Queued model downloads
- Per-model preview images
- Per-model default settings - choose a model’s default VAE, Scheduler, CFG Scale, etc.
- User-defined trigger phrases for concepts/LoRAs and models - access by typing the < key in any prompt box
- API key support for model marketplaces
Model Hashing
When you first run v4.0.0, it will take a while to start up as it does a one-time hash of all of your model files.
Do not panic.
Hashes provide a stable identifier for a model that is the same across every platform.
If you don’t care about this, you can disable the hashing using the hashing_algorithm setting in invokeai.yaml.

The internal graph execution engine is drastically simplified, resulting in more efficient and performant processing. This carries on from the changes in v3.6.0 in which graphs are no longer stored in the database.

Invoke v4.0.0rc2
This is a Release Candidate. We strongly suggest backing up your database before testing to prevent data loss in case of any issues.
Please let us know if you run into anything unexpected.
What's New
RC1 supported the setting skip_model_hash
in invokeai.yaml
. In RC2, this is replaced by a more flexible setting hashing_algorithm
.
New Model Manager
The model manager is rewritten in v4.0.0, both frontend and backend. This builds a foundation for future model architectures and brings some exciting new user-facing features:
- Queued model downloads
- Per-model preview images
- Per-model default settings - choose a model’s default VAE, Scheduler, CFG Scale, etc.
- User-defined trigger phrases for concepts/LoRAs and models - access by typing the
<
key in any prompt box - API key support for model marketplaces
Model Hashing
When you first run v4.0.0, it will take a while to start up as it does a one-time hash of all of your model files.
Do not panic.
Hashes provide a stable identifier for a model that is the same across every platform.
If you don’t care about this, you can disable the hashing using the hashing_algorithm
setting in invokeai.yaml
.
Canvas Improvements
The canvas uses a new method for compositing called gradient denoising. This eliminates the need for multiple “passes”, greatly reducing generation time on the canvas. This method also provides substantially improved visual coherence between the masked regions and the rest of the image.
The compositing settings on canvas allow for control over the gradient denoising process.
Major research & experimentation for this novel denoising implementation was led by @dunkeroni, and @blessedcoolant was responsible for managing integration into the canvas UI.
Bonus: Invoke Training (Beta)
As of v4.0.0, all references to training in the core invoke script now point to the Invoke Training Repo. Invoke Training offers a simple user interface for:
- Textual Inversion Training
- LoRA Training
- Dreambooth Training
- Pivotal Tuning Training
You can learn more about Invoke Training at https://github.com/invoke-ai/invoke-training
Minor UI/UX Enhancements:
- Canvas Brush Size Scroll can now be inverted (Thanks @joshistoast!)
- Images in the Canvas Staging Area can now be discarded individually (Thanks @joshistoast!)
- Many small bug fixes and resolved papercuts
Installation and Upgrading
To install or upgrade to version 4.0, download the zip file from the release notes ("Assets" section), unpack it, and follow the installation instructions. For upgrades, select the same installation location.

Invoke 3.7.0
Invoke is a leading creative engine built to empower professionals and enthusiasts alike. Generate and create stunning visual media using the latest AI-driven technologies. Invoke offers an industry-leading web interface and also serves as the foundation for multiple commercial products.
You can learn more Invoke and our mission by visiting https://www.invoke.com/about, or joining our Discord server!
🌟 What's New in 3.7.0
Workflow Editor Improvements
- Workflow Linear View - Workflows are now able to be used in a sleek Linear View interface that hides the workflow and focuses on the image being generated! To enable this, from a workflow, click the "Use in Linear View" button next to the model name in the left sidebar.
- Workflow Linear View inputs are now able to be re-ordered by dragging and dropping.
Other Changes
- DWPose is now the default OpenPose processor in Invoke - see Things to Know
- Improved Seamless Tiling! Now even more seamless
- Update diffusers version to 0.26.3
- Various bug fixes
‼️ Things to Know:
Possible Update Issues
- 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, download the installer and re-run it in the same location as your existing installation.
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:
- Launch your invoke.bat / invoke.sh and select the option to open the developer console
- Run:
pip install --force-reinstall torch==2.1.2 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
- If you run into an error with typing_extensions, run:
pip install -U typing-extensions
- If there is an error with fsspec, run
pip install -U fsspec==2023.5.0
Other
- In some cases, the OpenPose processor might not automatically switch to DWPose. To choose DWPose, use the "Show Advanced" caret to open the processor settings and choose DW Openpose as the processor.
- Currently known issues:
- Scan for Models is currently disabled due to the Model Manager refactor
💿 Installation and Upgrading:
To install version 3.7, 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 Invoke version 3.x installed, you can update by running invoke.sh
/ invoke.bat
and selecting "Updated Invoke" to upgrade, or you can download and run the installer in your existing Invoke 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-v3.7.0.zip
💻 Developer Changes
There are a number of important changes for contributors to be aware of.
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.
