Stable Diffusion is a deep learning, text-to-image model released in 2022 based on diffusion techniques. The generative artificial intelligence technology is the premier product of Stability AI and is considered to be a part of the ongoing artificial intelligence boom.
AUTOMATIC1111 Stable Diffusion Web UI (SD WebUI, A1111, or Automatic1111 [3]) is an open source generative artificial intelligence program that allows users to generate images from a text prompt. [4] It uses Stable Diffusion as the base model for its image capabilities together with a large set of extensions and features to customize its output.
In August 2022 Stability AI rose to prominence with the release of its source and weights available text-to-image model Stable Diffusion. [1] On March 23, 2024, Emad Mostaque stepped down from his position as CEO. The board of directors appointed COO, Shan Shan Wong, and CTO, Christian Laforte, as the interim co-CEOs of Stability AI.

[20] [21] Users retained the ownership of resulting output regardless of models used. [22] [23] The models can be used either online or locally by using generative AI user interfaces such as ComfyUI and Stable Diffusion WebUI Forge (a fork of Automatic1111 WebUI). [8] [24] An improved flagship model, Flux 1.1 Pro was released on 2 October 2024.
ComfyUI is an open source, node-based program that allows users to generate images from a series of text prompts.It uses free diffusion models such as Stable Diffusion as the base model for its image capabilities combined with other tools such as ControlNet and LCM Low-rank adaptation with each tool being represented by a node in the program.
In August 2022, the company co-released an improved version of their Latent Diffusion Model called Stable Diffusion together with the CompVis Group at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and a compute donation by Stability AI. [14] [15] On December 21, 2022 Runway raised US$50 million [16] in a Series C round.
An image conditioned on the prompt "an astronaut riding a horse, by Hiroshige", generated by Stable Diffusion 3.5, a large-scale text-to-image model first released in 2022. A text-to-image model is a machine learning model which takes an input natural language description and produces an image matching that description.
DreamBooth can be used to fine-tune models such as Stable Diffusion, where it may alleviate a common shortcoming of Stable Diffusion not being able to adequately generate images of specific individual people. [4] Such a use case is quite VRAM intensive, however, and thus cost-prohibitive for hobbyist users. [4]
