I’d be incredibly grateful, and I know others in the community feel the same.\n\nThank you so much for all the amazing work you do!\n\nHmm… I don’t know about online usage options for these models…\n\nOf course, paid hosting is possible…\n\nBut I don’t know about existing ones.\n\nI am in the same boat, really hoping to revive SD 2.1 somehow. I am willing to pay the cost of hosting, but would like how to go about doing that. Anybody know how?\n\nSo I’ve created a working version of Spaces for now. [https://huggingface.co/spaces/John6666/sd21_zero](https://huggingface.co/spaces/John6666/sd21_zero)\n\n(Screenshot on Zero GPU)\n\nHowever, *the CPU Spaces are too slow to be useful for image generation*, so please duplicate and use either Zero GPU Spaces (up to 10 simultaneous instances with a $9/month subscription), GPU Spaces (pay-as-you-go), or locally (depending on your GPU).\n\n[eljule](https://discuss.huggingface.co/u/eljule)\n8\nI missed the moment when this was released; I’m willing to pay if you launch it again. Or do you need more interested people?", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stable-diffusion-2-1", "canonical_source": "https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/stable-diffusion-2-1/171866#post_8", "published_at": "2026-07-31 09:10:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-31 09:41:00.113882+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["generative-ai", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Stable Diffusion 2.1", "Hugging Face", "John6666"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stable-diffusion-2-1", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stable-diffusion-2-1.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stable-diffusion-2-1.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stable-diffusion-2-1.jsonld"}}
