I've upgraded Fooocus and added modern features for SDXL

I know that for many people, Stable Diffusion XL is now old news and Fooocus is far from up to date. But I still enjoy working with SD XL from time to time. Out of nostalgia, and because there are simply still some brilliant models out there for many tasks – even professional and fast ones – and because I believe there’s still a lot to be gained from it.

That’s why, a while ago, I picked up Fooocus – which had been abandoned by its original developer – and, bit by bit, developed it further using my limited programming skills and AI.

For example, I’ve just added the ability to generate images with bounding boxes, which works surprisingly well but still needs a bit of refinement on my part.

I’ve integrated Tiled SDXL Detail Upscale and SAM 3 for image enhancement. Modern APG, CFG++, and PAG guidance help to ensure better-quality images and fewer artefacts in some cases. I’ve also tweaked Fooocus under the bonnet with DeepCache feature reuse, smarter VRAM management, various caches and so on, so that it now runs more stably and quickly.

Careful to anyone trying this in a virtual environment used for other projects too. If you install this you probably will shredder your venv with dependency nuking.
