SwarmUI
SwarmUI is a web-based interface and orchestrator for Stable Diffusion, designed to generate images and video. It functions as a modular workflow manager and an API gateway that allows for the configuration and execution of generative AI pipelines.
The system is characterized by its ability to distribute generation workloads across multiple graphics cards to increase processing speed and total throughput. It employs a decoupled client-server architecture and a backend-agnostic interface, allowing the user interface to remain separate from the model execution environment.
The platform supports extensibility through a plugin-based architecture for adding new UI components and logic handlers. It provides programmatic control via HTTP and WebSocket endpoints for external applications to trigger generations and synchronize state in real time.
Administrator tools are included to grant and manage remote user access to the generative environment over a network.
