Stable Diffusion

Stable Diffusion is the leading open-source image generation model, developed by Stability AI. Unlike cloud-based alternatives, it can run entirely on local hardware, giving users complete control over their generations with no content restrictions or usage limits. The open-source ecosystem around Stable Diffusion is massive, with thousands of fine-tuned models, LoRA adapters, and community tools available. Users can train custom models on their own datasets, making it invaluable for specialized use cases. Popular interfaces include Automatic1111's WebUI, ComfyUI for node-based workflows, and various cloud-hosted options for users without powerful GPUs. The model supports text-to-image, image-to-image, inpainting, and outpainting.
