stable-diffusion
Added 1 June 2026
Overview
Stable Diffusion is a latent text-to-image diffusion model that generates images from text prompts by iteratively denoising latent representations. It runs locally on consumer hardware and is open source, making it accessible for integration into applications without cloud dependencies.
