 4. When running the nodes for the first time, they will download the model **Stable Diffusion 2.1** from this repository on the Hugging Face hub: [RedbeardNZ/stable-diffusion-2-1-base](https://huggingface.co/RedbeardNZ/stable-diffusion-2-1-base). The download will be placed in the Hugging Face cache folder `C:\Users\[your-username]\.cache\huggingface\hub\models--RedbeardNZ--stable-diffusion-2-1-base`. We are working on simplifying this dependency to have all models centralized in the ComfyUI models folder.
