Although it had a bit of a shaky launch, AI Runner v1.13.3 is now live and comes with a number of improvements to existing functionality and introduces a few new features.

LoRA Updates

LoRA now contain weight sliders, checkboxes to toggle them on and off, and the ability to manually store trigger words with the LoRA for quick reference.

Model Merging

With the Model Merger tool (available in the Tools dropdown menu) you can merge models - for example you can merge txt2img models with an inpaint / outpaint base model to create custom inpaint / outpaint models.

You can control how much weight to give to the vae, unet and text encoder (between 0 and 1 for each).

Note:

When merging inpaint models, choose 0.0 for unet to avoid weird results.

Image Filters

Several new image filters have been Added

Color balance allows you to adjust individual color channels of an image.

Saturation allows you to adjust the color saturation of an image.

And finally, RGB Noise allows you to add grain to an image on a per-color channel basis.

A bug in which image filters would be double applied on application has been fixed.

Version checking

AI Runner will now check for the latest version on startup and will display a message in the bottom right corner of the window if a new version is available. You will still need to manually download it from itch, so I still recommend using the itch.io launcher which will handle updates for you. However, if you don’t want to use the launcher, now you will know when an update is available.

This feature can be toggled on and off in the Settings toolbar menu.

Error handling

Improvements have been made to error handling. This is a work in progress, but some errors, if you encounter them, will display in red at the bottom of the window.

More paths for improved model loading

You can now choose custom paths for depth2img, pix2pix and inpaint / outpaint models. This optional setup allows for easier management of custom models and less confusion when choosing models for their respective generators.

Misc

Prompt and negative prompt are now saved to AI Runner settings so that you can close your app, reload and still maintain your prompts from the previous session.
