Fine-tune Stable Diffusion with LoRA for as low as $1

Fine-tuning large models doesn’t have to be complicated and expensive.

In this tutorial, I provide a step-by-step demonstration of the fine-tuning process for a Stable Diffusion model geared towards Pokemon image generation. Utilizing a pre-existing script sourced from the Hugging Face diffusers library, the configuration is set to leverage the LoRA algorithm from the Hugging Face PEFT library. The training procedure is executed on a modest AWS GPU instance (g4dn.xlarge), optimizing cost-effectiveness through the utilization of EC2 Spot Instances, resulting in a total cost as low as $1.
