Stable Diffusion 3 arrives to solidify early lead in AI imagery against Sora and Gemini

Stability AI has announced Stable Diffusion 3, the latest version of its image-generating AI model. Based on a new architecture, Stable Diffusion 3 aims to compete with similar offerings from OpenAI and Google. It uses a diffusion transformer technique and flow matching to improve the quality of image generation. The model suite ranges from 800 million to 8 billion parameters and is designed to run on various hardware. Stable Diffusion is positioning itself as a versatile generative AI model, with capabilities such as multimodal understanding and video input and generation. The company is also focusing on safety and implementing safeguards to prevent misuse of the model.

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.

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.

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.

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.
