R · What Makes It Special: Fooocus, an offline, open-source (GPL-3.0) image generator by lllyasviel, built on Stable Diffusion XL and Gradio and designed like Midjourney so users focus on prompts, not settings: an offline GPT-2-based prompt engine, its own inpainting and image-prompt algorithms, upscaling, variations, styles and Civitai SDXL models, a sub-three-click install and a 4 GB Nvidia VRAM minimum. It is now in limited long-term support with bug fixes only and no plans to adopt newer architectures such as Flux.
