Stable Diffusion is a deep learning-based system released in 2022AI text to image generationmodel, which is primarily used to generate detailed images and illustrations conditioned on textual descriptions, was developed by startup StabilityAI in collaboration with a number of academic researchers and non-profit organizations.
Stable Diffusion is a latent diffusion model (Latent Diffusion Model) – a type of deep generative neural network. Stable Diffusion's code and model weights are publicly released and can run on most computer hardware with a modest GPU, whereas previously proprietary Vincent graph models such as DALL-E and Midjourney were only accessible through cloud computing services .
The Stable Diffusion online version is primarily accessible through the following official websites:
- DreamStudio version(Officially launched by StabilityAI)
- Stable Diffusion XL (Launched by ClipDrop, a subsidiary of StabilityAI)
- Stable Artisan(Discord version service launched by StabilityAI)
The Stable Diffusion local deployment method is available through the following tools:
- Painted World Launcher(Stable Diffusion-WebUI launcher desktop version produced and released for free by Bilibili UP master @秋叶aaaki)
- Stable Diffusion integration package(For details, see How to Use Stable Diffusion – Method 2)
