=======
Latest installer zip file : InstantCharacter_v4.zip
Official repo : https://github.com/Tencent/InstantCharacter
I have significantly improved the official Repo app
Put FLUX LoRAs into loras folder, it will download 3 LoRAs by default
It will download necessary models into models folder automatically
Lower Character Scale makes it more stylized like 0.6, 0.8 etc
Also official repo Gradio was completely broken, fixed, improved, added new features like automatically save every generated image, number of generations and more
4 September 2025 Update
Bugs fixed and tested and working
Please extract latest zip file, delete your venv folder and run Windows_Install_Update.bat
Windows Requirements
Python 3.10.11, FFmpeg, CUDA 12.8 or above, cuDNN 9.4 or above, C++ tools, MSVC and Git
If it doesn't work make sure to below tutorial and install everything exactly as shown in this below tutorial
14 May 2025 Update
Now uses between 21.5 - 22.5 GB VRAM with new added CPU offloading
Test on empty RTX 3090 ti - 4.27 second / it with LoRA
For RunPod and Massed Compute CPU offloading won't be enabled with --highvram
When using BiRefNet for removing the uploaded image background, it will use momentarily shared VRAM - so patiently wait until it is completed
Make sure to minimize your VRAM usage before running the app
Use latest installer file and delete older venv folder and run installer again
Windows:
First watch above requirements tutorial and follow every step
Extract zip archive into a drive like c:/aichar
Longer directory path or space character or special character in folder paths causes issues
Double click and install with Windows_Install.bat
Then run with Windows_Start_App.bat
If you get model download error open Windows_Start_APP.bat with a notepad editor and make "HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=0"

i have resolved the error with putting my own HF token in the file. however, there is another one: Loading matting model from ZhengPeng7/BiRefNet... A new version of the following files was downloaded from https://huggingface.co/ZhengPeng7/BiRefNet: - BiRefNet_config.py . Make sure to double-check they do not contain any added malicious code. To avoid downloading new versions of the code file, you can pin a revision. A new version of the following files was downloaded from https://huggingface.co/ZhengPeng7/BiRefNet: - birefnet.py .

Nobodys Hero

Furkan Gözükara

Hello, I tried to upload your build, but after uploading the models, I get Error initializing the main pipeline: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 90.00 MiB. GPU 0 has a total capacity of 12.00 GiB of which 0 bytes is free. Of the allocated memory 26.35 GiB is allocated by PyTorch, and 5.19 MiB is reserved by PyTorch but unallocated. If reserved but unallocated memory is large try setting PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=expandable_segments:True to avoid fragmentation. See documentation for Memory Management (https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/cuda.html#environment-variables) My graphics memory is 12gb. And at the same time, at the beginning of the download, it outputs LINK : fatal error LNK1181: the input file "io.lib" cannot be opened test.c LINK : fatal error LNK1181: the input file "cufile.lib" cannot be opened
Furkan Gözükara
sadly not that i know :( we need quantization

Thanks! I installed this locally to Linux PC, but I think this tries to use only one GPU (I have two 24GB Nvidia). Is there a way to modify settings to use both of them?
