Stable Diffusion · screen 2About Stable Diffusion
Stable Diffusion is a family of open-weight text-to-image models from Stability AI. Models such as SDXL and Stable Diffusion 3.5 generate images from prompts, support inpainting and image-to-image editing, and can be fine-tuned with LoRAs or extended with ControlNet. It is for developers, researchers and creators who want to run image generation on their own hardware. Weights are on Hugging Face under Stability's Community License, and the Stability AI API serves hosted versions.
