+### Customizing the config
+
+You can customize the config file to change the default model, platform (hardware acceleration), scheduler, and prompt.
+If you have a good base or example prompt, you can set that in the config file:
+
+```json
+{
+  "default": {
+    "model": "stable-diffusion-onnx-v1-5",
+    "platform": "amd",
+    "scheduler": "euler-a",
+    "prompt": "an astronaut eating a hamburger"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+When running the dev server, `node serve.js`, the config file at `out/config.json` will be loaded. If you want to load
+a different config file, save it to your home directory named `onnx-web-config.json` and copy it into the output
+directory after building the bundle:
+
+```shell
+> make bundle && cp -v ~/onnx-web-config.json out/config.json
+```
