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.
[22] [23] Users retained the ownership of resulting output regardless of models used. [24] [25] 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] [26] An improved flagship model, Flux 1.1 Pro was released on 2 October 2024.
In August 2022 Stability AI rose to prominence with the release of its source and weights available text-to-image model Stable Diffusion. [2] 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.

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.
The startup says the model outperforms Stability AI’s Stable Diffusion and OpenAI’s DALL-E 3, two models that also generate images based on text prompts. (This story has been updated with new ...
Stability AI offered computational resources to support the project, and the model was officially released in August 2022 under the name Stable Diffusion. [20] Rombach, Blattmann, Esser and Lorenz subsequently joined Stability AI, leading the development of subsequent Stable Diffusion models. [21]
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.
Stable Diffusion 3 (2024-03) [66] changed the latent diffusion model from the UNet to a Transformer model, and so it is a DiT. It uses rectified flow. It uses rectified flow. Stable Video 4D (2024-07) [ 67 ] is a latent diffusion model for videos of 3D objects.
