Open SourceGenerative AI Revolution Stable Diffusion: Open-Source Image Generation
Stable Diffusion was released as a widely available text-to-image model that could run on consumer hardware, with model weights distributed under an open release rather than an API-only product. Unlike DALL-E, anyone could download it, run it locally, and build on top of it. An explosion of community modifications, fine-tunes, and applications followed.
