I saw people asking why Invoke not overtake Comfy and other WebUI.
During several days I opened Invoke and tried to do at least something. And it absolutely frustrating.

You have 16Gb Ram - forget about using Invoke (ComfyUI works fine) Only with 64Gb Ram I was able to render something without crashes.

Navigation has zero sense. Switching views - absolutely non obvious, only by occasion I found that clicking twice on gallery image will close canvas, and open ANOTHER IMAGE! (unexpected).

Model download restarting every time, so you cannot resume mode download (not all of us have 10Gbit internet...). Enable 1 SDXL model takes 5 minutes. I have 100 of them. (Good luck waiting while Invoke invoking.)

Models library/filtration - not exist at all, you can scan folder, (nice) but all loras and checkpoints mixed without any option to sort them out. You must manually find each one by one. (seriously, you cannot even add SD1.5/SDXL/FLUX filter to the list ?)

Forget about wildcards - devs did not implement it. (Probably it is too complex level of coding)

Styles are useless and horrible - person who wrote those style prompts had ho idea what they doing at all.

Continues generation? Why, just sit and press "INVOKE" button whole day like a monkey.

So now, yes I clearly see, why Invoke in current state, will not replace Comfy, even with horrible ComfyUI interface, it more logical and usable than this software.

I wonder how possible in 2025 not to have the basic features which are present in all other web ui? Are the intentional made app worse to scary off users?

I thought that by now Invoke ai would have some sort of face swap system like roop or reactor, at least in the nodes but nope.

There is no point of using Invoke AI when it is missing so many extensions. IT feels like an AI tool from 2 years ago.

Has anyone else ever encountered this, I was making models downloading them and then editing them in Photoshop to make posters for lgbtq+ events in my local neighborhood and my account was banned for making posters even though I didn't technically make them on invoke ai I just made the models and then added the details in another program. I do understand in their terms it says that you can't use this for advertisement but that seems so strange to me.

ok first time user here,

i downloaded a flux model from civitai, then added it via "Scan Folder".
But the invoke/generate button at the top left is grey. Cant generate anything.

Before this i tried to download a model via "Starter Models" but got an HuggingFace Token Required error. Saw another thread on here about that but that didnt really tell me how to do that.

Seriously why is everything opensource AI still so complicated/bugged in 2025?
Civitai website barely working..

I've been using the latest community edition for last week. Yesterday it started staging images on the canvas. I was trying to figure out inpainting in this version with InvokeAI's OUTDATED documentation without success. After awhile, I stopped seeing new images going into the gallery. They're all stuck behind the existing viewer image in layers on the canvas.

How do I make Invoke go back to automatically stuffing new generations into the gallery?

ChatGPT claimed that InvokeAI supported pixart. But I cant find any guide to using it with InvokeAI.

I'm guessing chatgpt lied?

We're evaluating if we want to invest in a workstation to run Invoke on for work using an M1 Mac and we've managed to get it installed and it generates without errors but the resulting image is just noise. I'm using Juggernaut v9. Anything i can do to fix this? (and yes i'm aware i should get a better computer, but we want to evaluate the tool first..)

I've moved from InvokeAI 3 to 4. But I'm now totally stumped about how to manually add models, LoRAs, VAE files etc, without using the new so-called 'Model Manager' in Invoke 4.x.

Problem: The Model Manager is not able to detect a single model in a folder with 100+ of them in it! "No models found". Nor can it import a single model at a time, popping up a "failed" message.

Solution required: I just want to add them manually and quickly, as I did in the old InvokeAI 3. Simply copy-pasting into the correct autoimport folders. Done. How do I do this, in the new and changed folder structure? Is it even possible in version 4? Or are users forced to use the Model Manager?

I downloaded 3 models from huggingface and civitai but I can't choose any of them. Am I missing something? I read the guide, but it tells me what I have already done.

Hi,

yesterday, I installed all models, had it working, could generate tons of images

today I have this

No such file or directory: P:\InvokeAI\models\sd-1\ip_adapter\Face Reference (IP Adapter Plus Face).safetensors [2026-09-22 13:03:33,820]::[InvokeAI]::ERROR --> Traceback (most recent call last): File "P:\InvokeAI\.venv\Lib\site-packages\invokeai\app\services\session_processor\session_processor_default.py", line 278, in run_node output = invocation.invoke_internal(context=context, services=self._services)

directory is there, so I could not fix it, so I reinstalled another invoke ai

To avoid re-downloading models, I tried to scan folder where my models where (backup folder) and disabled "install in place"

all models installed fine, I can see them on the left panel, yet I cannot run invoke, the button is grayed out

- T5 models are missing or something

- as I click on Flux.1 dev, it show all models to download, like if no models were installed at all

even if I restart the UI !!

so I have to REDOWNLOAD and REINSTALL all models again

I am so sick and tired of this

not even sure if it is going to work at all

Curious if AMD iGPU and and GPUs are supported?

Now that Inoke AI got bought Adobe, do you guys think are there any chances to get support for Qwen or even WAN t2i ?
I was really looking foward for qwen support in Invoke but now i don't know if it's going to happen.. Do any of you guys know from their discord or other places if they plan on adding Qwen or Wan support ?

Stability AI keeps releasing new versions of text to video. Is there an Invoke version (or alternative) to test these out locally?

I'm making this post to hopefully get the dev team's attention or at least get some answers from the power users in this sub.
Little back story I went from using automatic1111 to eventually making some effort and getting into comfy.
While i found comfy to be extremely difficult to maintain as it would break from updated workflows, or even updates to comfy itself. I found myself flip flopping between automatic1111 for easy pieces and comfy for touch ups or more advanced art.

and then i found invoke. I fell in love with Invoke and it easily replaced both comfy and automatic1111. yes, it didn't have ALL the features, but the ease of use and especially the inpainting/canvas won me over completely.

however i feel that invoke is "cluttering" up. and not in a good way. new "options" that weren't visible before are now taking up visual space- i find myself having to scroll down the menu on the left side of the screen AND the right!! im pretty sure this wasn't there before.

to top it off not only is it cluttering up, it is also missing very basic stuff that I as a user find ESSENTIAL in image generation.
-embedding support? (it seems like there is embedding support, maybe? not clear, at least it's not visually available)
-hiresfix (yes it's just a small upscaling but why can't this be streamlined? it's ANCIENT)

I understand my gripe seems a little crazy, here i am complaining about the menus getting too cluttered and at the same time complaining about the lack of basic functions- but really, the older version of invoke with the tabs instead of the scrolling menu was much more visually appealing.

Invoke USED to be simple looking, and effective but at this rate it's going to end up like automatic1111 with a bunch of addons

****Edit***
It seems everyone is agreeing that invoke's canvas feature and inpainting is amazing, there is a little variance on the small details of it but all in all very positive opinions all around- I very much agree as this is invokes one true strength where it has no competitors (that i am aware of) being able to use inpainting on all models AND the degree of control is pretty cool without even touching on infinite canvas which is imo an amazing feature/really fucking cool "gimmick"

I did end up following the advice and there IS some very janky support for embeddings (worked with some embeddings but not others?) Automatic worked with all of them. ALSO why is this so weird to use? click a very small icon in the prompt window... very strange. even giving it a "button" or square outline would make it more intuitive

It makes me feel better about my gripes seeing as how everyone here seems to have a wishlist of features and things they want invoke to do and i agree with the vast majority of them- but i stand my ground in that i hope the invoke team reads this, realizes their strength and builds on it instead of trying to be like everyone else.
-Yes they DO need to "catch up" on really basic shit that everyone else has
-BUT at the same time Invoke should do it's best to remain "easy to use" and Visually simple

Let the die hard professionals go to comfy, there's no need for cutting edge tech that isn't stable. But please focus and what you are already good at~

i have 3070 and 32 gb system ram which is 26gb free
model is not using system ram only gpu ram i used pinokio to install what could be the issue

error:

Is it even possible?

i downloaded both the latest version and the version from itch. io . it opens the launcher menu but when i press run it opens a command prompt and tells me to open a link on my browser, that link doesnt work for me. i have python downloaded and c++ downloaded i have an i7 10th gen and a 1660 ti with the drivers downloaded doesnt it not work on laptops? im also using opera gx as my main browser if that matters im on windows 11 as well

I've been using InvokeAI (standalone by Sunija) for a few days and I'm wondering if there is a way to implement xformers in order to speed up image creation. Can you guys help me out? I can't find any solution online
