Stable Diffusion Extensions and Follow-Ups
Discover the latest and greatest extensions of Stable Diffusion text-to-image AI
It has been an exciting few weeks since Stability Diffusion became open-source and accessible to use by everyone for free. Various extensions and applications of Stability Diffusion started appearing very quickly. High-quality open-source software makes it very easy to everyone to start using and building on top of it. Kudos to HuggingFace 🤗 and Stability AI developers for their high-quality implementation and model training.
You can argue that many people got a headstart with their ideas as another text-to-image technology DALLE-2 has been out in public for a few months. But DALLE-2 is proprietary and closed-source, meaning that apart from being creative with our text prompts it was impossible to extend it in other ways.
To my surprise, Stable Diffusion quickly outpaced DALLE-2 in terms of interest. I am very excited to see how this graph will evolve over time, but I have no doubts that Stable Diffusion (or other high-quality and high-fidelity open-source text-to-image technologies) will continue outpacing closed-access software like DALLE-2.
Now to the fun part, let’s go over the exciting and important extensions of stable diffusions that have been released in the last few weeks.
