01 — Overview
Stability AI created Stable Diffusion, the family of image models that kicked off the open-source image generation scene. Because the model weights can be downloaded, you can run them locally with no per-image fee and fine-tune them on your own style or product photos.
Around the models grew a huge community ecosystem of custom checkpoints, LoRAs and tools such as ControlNet. Stability also offers a hosted developer API and models for video and audio. Licensing differs between models, so read the terms before commercial use.
