Welcome to the Stable Diffusion community, dedicated to the exploration and discussion of the open source deep learning model known as Stable Diffusion.

Introduced in 2022, Stable Diffusion uses a latent diffusion model to generate detailed images based on text descriptions and can also be applied to other tasks such as inpainting, outpainting, and generating image-to-image translations guided by text prompts. The model was developed by the startup Stability AI, in collaboration with a number of academic researchers and non-profit organizations, marking a significant shift from previous proprietary models that were accessible only via cloud services.

Do you run locally? (lemmy.world)

I was curious, do you run Stable Diffusion locally? On someone else's server? What kind of computer do you need to run SD locally?

Stable Diffusion loves VRAM. The larger and more complex the images you're trying to produce, the more it'll eat.

My line of thinking is that if you have a slower GPU it'll generate slower, sure, but if you run out of VRAM it'll straight up fail and shout at you.

I'm not an expert in this field though, so grain of salt, YMMV, all that.
