Stable Diffusion WebUI Forge is a performance- and feature-oriented fork of the popular AUTOMATIC1111 interface that experiments with new backends, memory optimizations, and UX improvements. It targets heavy users and researchers who push large models, control nets, and high-resolution pipelines where default settings can become bottlenecks. The fork typically introduces toggles for scheduler behavior, attention implementations, caching, and precision modes to reach better speed or quality on given hardware. It also focuses on stability during long sessions, aiming to reduce out-of-memory failures and provide clearer diagnostics when they occur. The UI surfaces advanced options in a way that remains recognizable to WebUI users, so migration costs are low while gaining experimental features. In practice, Forge serves as a proving ground for ideas that may later influence upstream tools, giving power users early access to cutting-edge techniques.
