Stable Diffusion local setup
Generative AI text-to-image models have been growing at increasing rate and are fun. As of late 2024/early 2025, Stable diffusion made by Stability.AI is one of the most popular open-source AI image models, along with DALL-E and closed-source models like Midjourney. (Would also note here that I want to explore text-to-video models next) Diffusion models Stable Diffusion and DALL-E are diffusion models, which is one of the generative models and categorized as supervised learning in machine learning. Diffusion models areis also known as latent variable generative models. Without the math details, diffusion models work by destroying training data/images through the successive addition of Gaussian noise (Forward Diffusion or Noising), and then reversing the process to recover the data (Reverse Diffusion or Denoising). After training and learning the diffusion and denoising processes, the diffusion model can generate data by passing randomly sampled noise through the learned denoising process (Sampling procedure). ...
