Reasons Why Neural Network “Stable Diffusion” is better than DALL-E

Reasons Why Stable Diffusion is better than DALL-E

You’ve probably heard of Stable Diffusion by now. The new neural network has made a lot of news and rumors in the net. Stable Diffusion allows you to create the visual reality you can imagine for any user for free. The AI model generates images based on text or an input image.

This year we have seen several imaging AIs such as Dall-e 2, Imagen and Craiyon. On August 22, Stability AI released its open source image generation model that can compete with DALL-E 2 in quality. Stable Diffusion is the brainchild of Emad Mostak, a former London hedge fund manager. Its goal is to bring new applications of AI to the masses.

The future is behind community, and products made by community for community.

What makes Stable Diffusion stand out from similar neural networks?

It’s open source project. You can run Stable Diffusion on your own computer instead of going through the cloud accessed through a website or API, without registrations, ID, limitations, passports and phone numbers.

In the last month, dozens of projects created in Stable Diffusion have come in the world. And people have achieved some cool results using a technique called “img2img” that has “modernized” game art, turned an old video game scenes into 3D, turned children’s scribbles into rich illustrations, and more.

For decent results, the developers recommend an NVIDIA 3xxx series GPU with at least 6 GB of RAM.

Why Stable Diffusion is free to use while DALL-E not completely?

However, there are free DALL-E2 15 credits monthly. Although, Stable Diffusion is completely free to use if you download it on your PC.

DALL-E was considered as mostly commercial project (despite the fact there was closed beta-test, and DALL-E2 offers 15 free credits each month) while Stable Diffusion developers claim that they’re made by community for community, and are focused on giving the opportunity to create ai-generated images to everyone for free, and limited only by the power of your graphic card.

And who knows, maybe DALL-E wont ever be open source project if not Stable Diffusion?

Why DALL-E2 requires phone number and SMS confirmation for registration?

Phone number verification limits abuse. For using DALL-E2 each user has 50 free requests in the first month and 15 in each subsequent month. The project works through the API. In addition, authentication will require SMS confirmation, which only works for phone numbers in certain countries. OpenAI gives your account $18 free credit when you sign up. While Stable Diffusion does not require phone number.

What image generating ai is better, Stable Diffusion or DALL-E?

If your goal is to create higher resolution illustrations, Stable Diffusion ai is the best choice for your purposes. It can generate up to 2048×2048 (and not limited) images while Dall-E2 is fixed at 512×512. You can download Stable Diffusion on your PC and it doesnt require money to endlessly use picture generating AI.

Why image generating AI like Stable Diffusion or DALL-E are so important?

Image synthesis can enable a wide audience to visualize ideas, lowering barriers to entry and empowering artists.

How to use Stable Diffusion?

If you’re interested in trying it out, go to huggingface, dreamstudio.ai, or Google collab and use their web interface (all currently free). Or follow the guide inside the platform (any guide we write here will be out of date in a few weeks)
