Stability announces Stable Diffusion 3, a next-gen AI image generator

Stability AI has introduced Stable Diffusion 3, an open-weights image-synthesis model. The new model boasts improved quality and accuracy in text generation, generating detailed, multi-subject images. Stable Diffusion 3 comes in a range of sizes, from 800 million to 8 billion parameters, allowing for different versions to run on various devices. Stability has gained attention for providing an open alternative to proprietary models like OpenAI's DALL-E 3. The Stable Diffusion models utilize diffusion transformer architecture and employ flow matching to smoothly transition from random noise to structured images. Testing is currently underway, with plans for a free open release in the future.

Diffusion transformers are the key behind OpenAI's Sora -- and they're set to upend GenAI

OpenAI's latest advancement in GenAI, Sora, demonstrates the potential of the diffusion transformer, an AI model architecture that combines diffusion and the transformer. This architecture, already used by Stability AI's Stable Diffusion 3.0, allows GenAI models to scale up beyond previous limitations. Unlike traditional models that relied on U-Nets, the diffusion transformer uses transformers, known for their attention mechanism, offering improved performance and scalability. Sora is a significant leap in effectiveness and can handle vast amounts of video data. Integration of content understanding and creation within the diffusion transformer framework is a future goal, making transformers a preferred choice in the GenAI field.

New “Stable Video Diffusion” AI model can animate any still image

Stability AI has introduced Stable Video Diffusion, a free AI research tool that can transform still images into short videos. The tool utilizes image-to-video techniques and operates locally on a machine with an Nvidia GPU. With two models available, users can generate video synthesis ranging from 14 to 25 frames. The resulting video clips are typically 2-4 seconds in length and have a resolution of 576x1024 pixels. Stability AI stresses that the tool is still in the early stages and is intended for research purposes only. The source and weights of the models used in Stable Video Diffusion are available on GitHub.
