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.

Stable Diffusion Turbo XL can generate AI images as fast as you can type

Stability AI has introduced Stable Diffusion XL Turbo, an AI image-synthesis model that can generate imagery in real-time based on a written prompt. The model uses a technique called Adversarial Diffusion Distillation (ADD) to produce image outputs in a single step, significantly reducing the number of required steps compared to its predecessor. While the images produced by SDXL Turbo aren't as detailed as those generated by higher step counts, the speed savings are impressive. Stability AI claims that the model can generate a 1024x1024 image in about 4 seconds, compared to 26.4 seconds for a 20-step image with similar detail.

Stability AI tries to stay ahead of the pack with a new image-generating AI model

Stability AI has introduced Stable Cascade, a new model for image generation that is faster and more powerful than its predecessor, Stable Diffusion. Stable Cascade offers various features such as generating photos, increasing image resolution, inpainting, outpainting, and canny edge creation. Although the model is available for researchers on GitHub, it is not yet permitted for commercial use. Stable Cascade breaks down requests into smaller parts, improving memory efficiency and processing speed. The model takes around 10 seconds to generate an image, compared to the 22 seconds required by the current SDXL model.

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.

New AI benchmark tests speed of responses to user queries

AI benchmarking group MLCommons has released new tests and results that assess the speed of top-of-the-line hardware in running AI applications. The benchmarks focus on the generation of responses from powerful AI models, showcasing how quickly applications like ChatGPT can deliver responses. MLCommons added a question-and-answer benchmark called Llama 2, developed by Meta Platforms, and a text-to-image generator benchmark based on Stability AI's Stable Diffusion XL model. Servers powered by Nvidia's H100 chips were the winners in terms of raw performance, with designs from other companies also showing promising results. Energy efficiency remains a significant challenge in AI deployment. MLCommons has a separate benchmark category for measuring power consumption.

From toy to tool: DALL-E 3 is a wake-up call for visual artists—and the rest of us

OpenAI's newest AI image generator, DALL-E 3, has brought both delight and trepidation as machines upend the creative order. With its rapid increase in visual acuity and ability to generate usable results, AI image synthesis is no longer considered a gimmick or toy but a legitimate tool for media creation. DALL-E 3, which uses latent diffusion and written prompts to generate images, works in conjunction with ChatGPT to provide an interactive and conversational art generation experience. OpenAI has used AI-written image captions to train DALL-E 3, leading to more accurate and detailed results.
