I recently picked up this book, and it's been a game-changer for me. If you're into AI image generation, this book is the new gold.They walk you through setting up everything you need - CUDA, PyTorch, the works - without making it feel like a slog. And when they get into the nitty-gritty of diffusion models, they somehow make it all click. The authors have this knack for explaining tricky concepts in a way that just makes sense. Whether you're just dipping your toes into this stuff or you've been at it for a while, you'll get something out of this book.All in all, if you're even slightly curious about AI image generation, grab a copy. Trust me, you won't regret it!

If you ever tried to write your own application for Stable Diffusion, you'd notice that the prompt is limited to only 77 tokens, and you will receive no warning. You need to chunk your big prompt and use a package like Compel to make it work. I learned it the hard way, the book would have told me immediately. Adding LoRas and LyCos are not as easy as doing so in A1111 or ComfyUI. I only hoped I had this book way before it was launched. The author is one of the developers of the Diffusers library and he knows what he is doing. He is also a talented writer. It's not a beginner's book and you are buying it because you are hard core programmer. I bought this book twice in the pre-order by mistake and received a copy as present from a great friend.
