The thing is most models for Stable Diffusion aren't created by companies but rather by end-users. There are literally hundreds of models for stable diffusion that you can download, from landscapes, to animals, to (of course) porn. A few of them were created by Stability or Huggingface, but most are trained by end-users. It isn't hard at all to train a model with existing tools -- you don't have to be an AI expert to do it.
- haswell 4y agoI believe those user-created models are still based on the core Stable Diffusion models though, and bring with them all of the same issues. My understanding is that it's not difficult to tune existing models as an end-user, but to start from zero would be impossible for most individuals financially and technically.
- jhbadger 4y agoIt's not clear what you mean by "based on". For example, the model Anything is trained on the Danboru anime image site. These images aren't in the standard Stable Diffusion model. The issue with that model is with the legality of including those images which the standard Stable Diffusion model does not.
- haswell 4y agoBut isn't that model still mixed with the core SD model? I was under the impression that all of these specialized models are created by training against a particular image type/dataset, and then mixing the result with the core SD model. This is how those specialized models can still generate just about anything. Without the core model mixed in, the specialized model would be nearly useless.
