Hi Community!

I was trying to use stable diffusion 2 to run the paper below.  
Unfortunately, the model is not available. Is it expected?

Thanks for your help!

Hmm… Same here for both [stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-1-base](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-1-base) and [stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-1](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-1)…

Seems [same there](https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1owl0tg/any_safe_downloads_or_alternatives_for_stable/)…?

Same goes for stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-inpainting

Any idea what this 404 error means? Does it mean that the model has been retracted?

> Does it mean that the model has been retracted?

Yeah. Or the model may have been **made private** , but from an external perspective, it makes no difference (just 404 not found). The reason is unclear, but since Stable Diffusion experienced the same disappearance issue with SD 1.5 before, this occurrence itself is not surprising.

Well this is hugely disappointing. I was in the middle of working on a project with this. Is there anything that can be done? Someone to contact?

While the number of times you can use it per day is limited, backing up remaining model weights with [Repo duplicator](https://huggingface.co/spaces/huggingface-projects/repo_duplicator) should be the top priority. If that doesn’t work, simply download them locally (about `101GB`).

```py
# pip install -U huggingface_hub[hf_xet]
import shutil
from pathlib import Path
from typing import Optional
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

def dl(repo_id: str) -> Optional[str]:
    local_dir = str(Path("./", f"{repo_id.split('/')[0]}-{repo_id.split('/')[-1]}"))
    cache_dir = str(Path("./", f"{repo_id.split('/')[0]}-{repo_id.split('/')[-1]}-cache"))
    try:
        if Path(local_dir).exists():
            print(f"{local_dir} alrealy esxists. Skipping {repo_id}.")
            return None
        if Path(cache_dir).exists():
            print(f"{cache_dir} alrealy esxists. Skipping {repo_id}.")
            return None
        print(f"Downloading {repo_id} to {local_dir}...")
        snapshot_download(repo_id=repo_id, local_dir=local_dir, cache_dir=cache_dir)
        local_cache_path = str(Path(local_dir, ".cache"))
        if Path(local_cache_path).exists(): shutil.rmtree(local_cache_path)
        if Path(cache_dir).exists(): shutil.rmtree(cache_dir)
        print(f"Downloaded {repo_id} to {local_dir}...")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")
        if Path(local_dir).exists(): shutil.rmtree(local_dir)
        if Path(cache_dir).exists(): shutil.rmtree(cache_dir)
        return None
    return local_dir

if __name__ == " __main__":
    dl("jyoung105/stable-diffusion-v2-1")
    dl("Manojb/stable-diffusion-2-base")
    dl("Manojb/stable-diffusion-2-1-base")
    dl("alwold/stable-diffusion-2-inpainting")

> Someone to contact?

For cases like this, I’m not sure if even HF support can help…  
But for now, Hugging Face’s support is: [website@huggingface.co](mailto:website@huggingface.co)
