Stable Diffusion

Stable Diffusion is an open-weight image generation model, made famous by Stability AI. It belongs to the diffusion category: it starts from random noise and progressively refines it into an image consistent with the supplied text description. Its distinctive feature is openness: anyone can download and run it on their own hardware, which spawned a huge ecosystem of variants, extensions and control tools that let users precisely steer the style, composition and detail of generated images. This freedom sets it apart from closed web-only services.

Definition

Local execution enables privacy, customisation by training on specific styles and no per-image cost, which is why it is widely adopted by artists, developers and small businesses.
