Delighted to announce the public open source release of #StableDiffusion!
Please see our release post and retweet! stability.ai/blog/stable-di…
Proud of everyone involved in releasing this tech that is the first of a series of models to activate the creative potential of humanity

Google and Microsoft are going all in with generative AI as core to their future.
There is no “we are still early” here, trillion dollar companies are shifting their whole strategy and focus.
I can’t ever recall a technology and strategy shift as fast and meaningful as this.

Open offer to anyone @OpenAI who actually wants to work on Open AI:
We will match your salary, benefits etc but you can work on any open source AI projects you like, ours or others.
Collaborate, be open and prioritise good outcomes over self interest:

The other aspect of this is we can also now adjust facial expressions using AI in media we create and pretty much live as well.
Think about that.. twitter.com/rowancheung/st…

Distilled #StableDiffusion2
> 20x speed up, convergence in 1-4 steps
We already reduced time to gen 50 steps from 5.6s to 0.9s working with @nvidia
Paper drops shortly, will link, model soon
Will be presented @neurips by @chenlin_meng & @robrombach
Interesting eh 🙃 twitter.com/EMostaque/stat…

Happy to announce the release of new state of the art open CLIP models to drive image classification and generation forward
@OpenAI’s release of the smaller CLIP models catalysed AI image gen as @advadnoun, @RiversHaveWings combined it with gen models 1/

On AI ethics & governance
Most powerful AI created by an org that has rejected its founding principles of transparency, openness, and collaboration
They say it could:
i) be an existential threat to humanity
ii) destroy our current society
Controlled by one unelected person 👍🏾 twitter.com/futurism/statu…

Going to be big advances (again) in AI in the coming weeks from text to image etc.
Folk dismissing this as a toy/wondering what use should dig in and realise this augments communication, understanding & a whole lot more that is core to value creation.
Exponentials are crazy.

We are also delighted to announce the public beta release of #DreamStudio, our reference implementation to allow anyone to create anything.
The public API will be available here shortly to extend your creativity and enable new experiences.

Stable diffusion XL #SDXL is in testing with our partners & dreamstudio.ai, getting data to refine it before open source release.
It is a 2.3 billion parameter variant (original 900m) with a range of improvements that will feed into Stable Diffusion 3
🚀 ✨

Some raw output from #StableDiffusion2
Like actually try it folks, it's only going to get better from here, each of these was generated in a couple of seconds.
We will release some optimised settings soon. 🚀✨

Some user notes on V2! 🧵
V2 prompts different and will take a while for folk to get used to.
V2 is trained on two models, a generator model and a image-to-text model (CLIP).
V1 used the CLIP-L14 model open sourced by @OpenAI which was great, but nobody knew what was in it 1/ twitter.com/StabilityAI/st…

GPT4 was a feat of engineering by a great team
Here is the (all highly skilled) team breakdown:
1. Pretraining: 83
2. Long context: 12
3. Vision: 57
4. RL & alignment: 128
5. Evaluation & analysis: 147
6. Deployment: 86
343 unique folk in total (some did more than one area)
19
Folk saying open source AI is unsafe are idiots.
Better/essential for:
1. Interpretability 👀
2. Auditability 📝
3. Private data 🕵️
4. Regulated data ⚖️
5. Academia, reproducibility 📚
6. Optimisation ⏩
7. Security, less bugs 🔐
8. Alignment 😊
9. Liberty, no panopticon🗽

Right one more time.
Happy to announce the release of #StableDiffusion for researchers. Public release soon.
GitHub here: github.com/CompVis/stable…
Blogpost (correct link) here: stability.ai/blog/stable-di…
More on @StabilityAI later when I figure out how to use the internet 🫣

Stories about how chatGPT will kill Google are a bit silly.
Google have the best full stack LLM team and infra with custom chips (PaLM, LaMBDA, Chinchilla, MUM, TPUs etc)
Nobody can bet them on innovation, cost or go to market.
Institutional inertia is only limiting factor.
22
Code for IF by @deepfloydai is up, amazing work by the team.
Weights in a couple of days along with blog posts, inference & other tools, key research Qs & more.
Release will be like SD, research => open release after feedback as new model type.

Access to next generation AI is a human right.
Otherwise we will have augmented humans and everyone else, divide will grow.
Restricting generative AI access is like restricting internet, phone or camera access.
It must be open.
It must be a public good.

Software was eating the World.
Generative AI will eat Software.

One reason we need free range, organic AI for all.
It’s a question of Liberty.
Also what happens when you get deplatformed from centralised AI.. twitter.com/Meaningness/st…
Not your weights not your brain.
