What is Stable Diffusion AI?
Stable Diffusion AI, developed by Stability AI, is a remarkable tool that has revolutionized the domain of AI-assisted image generation. Latest version, Stable Diffusion XL 1.0 (SDXL), uses a 6 billion parameter dual model system and introduces major upgrades over its predecessors including high-resolution 1024x1024 image generation, enhanced text legibilities, preset styles, and more.
When used responsibly, Stable Diffusion offers incredible potential for art, media, and even more. It allows users to generate highly realistic images based on text prompts. Those images can be either created from scratch, by redrawing existing images to incorporate new elements or by modifying existing images via inpainting and outpainting. Stable Diffusion can be run offline once set up locally, providing an added layer of privacy and security.
