Gated Models
Hugging Face Login
Access to some models is gated by the vendor. In those cases, you must request model access from the vendor. For this, you need a valid Hugging Face account: Login or Sign Up.
Hugging Face login and/or token is not required for non-gated models.
Create Token
Note: This is a one-time step. The same access token is used for all gated models.
After you log in, create an access token that an external application such as SD.Next can use on your behalf.
Go to: Hugging Face -> Profile -> Settings -> Access Token -> Create new token Or use this link.
- Token type: READ
- Do not use fine-grained tokens to avoid extra complexity
- Name is your choice
- Create token, then copy and store it in a safe place
Add Token to SD.Next
Go to: SD.Next -> System -> Settings -> Hugging Face
- Paste the token in the Hugging Face Token field
- Click Apply settings
Requesting Access
Note: Access requests are per model.
Requesting access can mean accepting terms, filling out a form, or waiting for approval. In all cases, go to the model page on Hugging Face and follow the vendor instructions.
Once access is granted, you can use the model in SD.Next as usual.
