Using LoRAs in Scope

LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) adapters let you customize the concepts and styles used in your generations. You can install LoRAs from HuggingFace or CivitAI directly from the app, load one or multiple at a time, and adjust their scale in real-time.

​
Pipeline compatibility

Different pipelines support different LoRA model types. Make sure you download LoRAs that match your pipeline:
PipelineCompatible LoRAs
StreamDiffusion V2Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B
LongLiveWan2.1-T2V-1.3B
RewardForcingWan2.1-T2V-1.3B
MemFlowWan2.1-T2V-1.3B
Krea RealtimeWan2.1-T2V-14B
Krea Realtime uses the larger 14B model, so it requires different LoRAs than the other pipelines.
Here are some LoRAs to get you started:

​
For 1.3B pipelines (StreamDiffusion V2, LongLive, RewardForcing, MemFlow)

Arcane Jinx

Character LoRA for the Arcane art style

Genshin TCG

Stylized trading card game aesthetic

​
For 14B pipeline (Krea Realtime)

Origami

Paper-craft folded aesthetic

Film Noir

Classic black-and-white cinema style

Pixar

3D animated movie aesthetic

​
Installing LoRAs

Scope has a built-in LoRA installer. You paste a URL from HuggingFace or CivitAI and the app downloads the file for you. This works for both local and Remote Inference sessions.
1

Open settings

Click the gear icon (top-right) to open the Settings dialog.
2

Go to the LoRAs tab

Select the LoRAs tab on the left side of the Settings dialog.
3

Paste the URL

Copy the URL of a .safetensors file from HuggingFace or a LoRA model page from CivitAI. Paste it into the URL input field.
4

Click Install

Click Install. The file will download and appear in the Installed LoRAs list below.

Some LoRAs on HuggingFace or CivitAI may require authentication. If a download fails, go to Settings > API Keys and add your HuggingFace token or CivitAI API key. You can generate these from your account settings on each platform.

​
Managing installed LoRAs

The Installed LoRAs section in the LoRAs tab shows all your downloaded LoRA files with their file sizes. From here you can:
  • Delete a LoRA by clicking the trash icon next to it
  • Refresh the list with the refresh button if you added files manually
LoRA files are stored at ~/.daydream-scope/models/lora/ and grouped by folder in the list.
If you have terminal access to a GPU machine (for example on RunPod), you can also download LoRAs manually using wget.

​
From HuggingFace

On the LoRA page, go to Files and versions and copy the link address for the .safetensors file.Then download it to the LoRA folder:
cd /workspace/models/lora
wget -O <filename>.safetensors "<link_address>"
Example:
wget -O pixar_10_epochs.safetensors "https://huggingface.co/Remade-AI/Pixar/resolve/main/pixar_10_epochs.safetensors?download=true"
On some RunPod templates, wget may not be pre-installed. If so, run apt-get install wget first.

​
From CivitAI

CivitAI requires an API key for programmatic downloads.
  1. Create an account at civitai.com
  2. Go to Developer Settings
  3. Generate an API key
On the LoRA page, copy the download link address.Then download with your API token:
cd /workspace/models/lora
wget -O <filename>.safetensors "<link_address>&token=<YOUR_API_KEY>"
Example:
wget -O arcane-jinx.safetensors "https://civitai.com/api/download/models/1679582?type=Model&format=SafeTensor&token=YOUR_API_KEY"
Make sure to wrap the URL in double quotes - the & character will cause issues otherwise.

​
Configuring LoRAs

Once you have LoRAs installed, you can add them to your pipeline from the main interface. The LoRA Adapters dropdown shows LoRAs that have been installed through Settings or added manually to the ~/.daydream-scope/models/lora/ folder.

1

Open the LoRA Adapters section

In the main Scope interface, find the LoRA Adapters section below the pipeline settings. If you don’t see it, make sure your selected pipeline supports LoRAs (see the compatibility table above).
2

Add a LoRA

Click the + button to add a new LoRA slot. A dropdown will appear showing all your installed LoRA files. Select the one you want to use.
3

Choose a merge strategy

Each LoRA has a Strategy dropdown with two options:
StrategyBest forTrade-off
Permanent mergeMaximum FPS during generationScale is fixed at pipeline load and cannot be changed while streaming
Runtime PEFTReal-time tweaking during generationScale adjustable at any time, but up to ~50% FPS overhead
4

Set the scale

Use the Scale slider to control how much the LoRA affects your output. The range is -10 to +10, with 1.0 as the default. Higher values make the LoRA effect more pronounced.
You can add multiple LoRAs at the same time for combined effects. Click + again to add another slot.
Many LoRAs require a trigger keyword in your prompt to activate. Check the LoRA’s model page (on HuggingFace or CivitAI) for the required trigger phrase and include it in your prompt. For example, the Pixar LoRA uses the trigger p1x4r_5ty13 Pixar animation style.
You cannot add, remove, or switch LoRAs while a stream is running. Stop the generation first, make your changes, then press Play again. If you’re using the Runtime PEFT strategy, you can adjust the scale slider while streaming.

​
Remote inference

LoRAs are fully supported with Remote Inference. When you install a LoRA while connected to a remote session, the file downloads directly to the cloud machine. Everything else works the same as local, including multiple LoRAs, scale adjustments, and merge strategies.
