Although we will be talking about AI Art generation in general in this page, our focus is on diffusion algorithms. One of the most popular diffusion algorithm out there is the Stable Diffusion.
Stable Diffusion is a text-to-image model that will empower billions of people to create stunning art within seconds. It is a breakthrough in speed and quality meaning that it can run on consumer GPUs…This will allow both researchers and…the public to run this under a range of conditions, democratising image generation. We look forward to the open ecosystem that will emerge around this and further models to truly explore the boundaries of latent space.
Stability AI
With Stable Diffusion you are able to generate stunning images from a text called prompt. For technical details about Stable Diffusion, please refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_Diffusion
