Stable Diffusion is simply fantastic, we live in great times to have such a thing as open-source to play with. And however justified the skepticism expressed in other HN comments might be, I truly hope they figure out a business model that’s compatible with continuing to make these releases. Otherwise, it’s forever going to be DeepMind’s “we actually have much better models, no you can’t see them, they go to a different school”, or alternatively, OpenAI’s insane prices and restrictions. For this field to become a game changer, the public needs access.
- mark_l_watson 4y agoAre OpenAI’s prices really “insane”? I have been using their GPT-3 based APIs for probably close to a year, and they seem really inexpensive compared to running a server myself with the required memory and compute, not to mention convenience. I am just starting to use some Hugging Face APIs, but so far I don’t have enough experience to talk about them.
