Dear Stable Diffusion community, model trainers, and developers,

I really miss the original Stable Diffusion 2.1 It had a unique aesthetic, color handling, and creative freedom, and many results felt more artistic and less “polished” compared to newer versions.

Would anyone be willing to bring back, restore, or recreate a clean, unfiltered version of SD 2.1 — ideally close to the original release? I’d be incredibly grateful, and I know others in the community feel the same.

Thank you so much for all the amazing work you do!

Hmm… I don’t know about online usage options for these models…

Of course, paid hosting is possible…

But I don’t know about existing ones.

I 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?

So I’ve created a working version of Spaces for now. [https://huggingface.co/spaces/John6666/sd21_zero](https://huggingface.co/spaces/John6666/sd21_zero)

However, *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).

I missed the moment when this was released; I’m willing to pay if you launch it again. Or do you need more interested people?
