All the images on this site were made with Stable Diffusion which is a deep learning, text-to-image model released in 2022 based on diffusion techniques. It is considered to be a part of the ongoing AI spring.
It is primarily used to generate detailed images conditioned on text descriptions, though it can also be applied to other tasks such as inpainting, outpainting, and generating image-to-image translations guided by a text prompt.[3] Its development involved researchers from the CompVis Group at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and Runway with a computational donation by Stability AI and training data from non-profit organizations.[4][5][6][7]
Stable Diffusion is a latent diffusion model, a kind of deep generative artificial neural network. Its code and model weights have been open sourced,[8] and it can run on most consumer hardware equipped with a modest GPU with at least 4 GB VRAM. This marked a departure from previous proprietary text-to-image models such as DALL-E and Midjourney which were accessible only via cloud services.[9][10]
