StableStudio, an open-source release of DreamStudio
- phonescreen_man 3y agoWill this become more popular than automatic1111 webUI ?
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- nickthegreek 3y agoLooks like they are trying to make it worth with a1111. Here are a few things we’d be excited to support… Local inference through WebGPU Local inference through stable-diffusion-webui Desktop installation ControlNet tools
- asynchronous 3y agoVery curious to this as well, I’d imagine not unless something dramatic happens as Automatic is the gathering storm of public support and interest.
- yankoff 3y agoI wouldn't bet on it. Automatic1111 already has a strong community and growing ecosystem. Stability.ai would have to try really hard and offer something significant to win people over.
- dathos 3y agoKudos to Stability for focussing on open source when ”Open“ai is trying to dig a moat around their castle.
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoIf it's legit. Based on some of the earlier comments, it seems like this claim might be bullshit.
- stevedekorte 3y agoCan it be used via an API?
- weird-eye-issue 3y agoDid you miss the large API link in the header?
- xu_ituairo 3y agoUnkind response, and the API link goes to info about Stability's API, not info about an API for interacting with the StableStudio app.
- weird-eye-issue 3y agoYou don't use APIs to interact with apps. Apps use APIs to do actions.
- thot_experiment 3y agoIf you want to use stable diffusion t2i and i2i today via an self-hosted api it's very easy to do so with auto1111, just click the api link at the bottom of the gradio app and there's extensive documentation on the endpoints.
- nickthegreek 3y agoI think it can only use other APIs itself. Looks like they want to make it work with a1111's api and they will ship a plugin that talks to stability's pay api.
- akiselev 3y agoGetting to the meat of the release (from their github [1]): > What's the difference between StableStudio and DreamStudio? Not much! There are a few tweaks we made to make the project more community-friendly: - We removed DreamStudio-specific branding. - All "over-the-wire" API calls have been replaced by a plugin system which allows you to easily swap out the back-end. - On release, we'll only be providing a plugin for the Stability API, but with a little bit of TypeScript, you can create your own. - We removed Stability-specific account features such as billing, API key management, etc. - These features are still available at DreamStudio's account page. Doesn't look like any of their models are getting open sourced alongside the app but they're making it possible to swap out the image generation backend using plugins [1] https://github.com/Stability-AI/StableStudio https://github.com/Stability-AI/StableStudio
- connerruhl 3y agoThe models will be open-sourced too! They aren't quite ready yet... https://twitter.com/EMostaque/status/1641795867740086272 https://twitter.com/EMostaque/status/1641795867740086272
- make3 3y agovery cool
- orra 3y agoThe claim that Stable Diffusion XL will be open sourced, has to be taken with a pinch of salt. Stability AI already claim Stable Diffusion (non-XL) is an “Open Source Model”[1]. It's not. The code is open source but the model is proprietary. [1] https://stability.ai/ https://stability.ai/
- simonw 3y ago> The code is open source but the model is proprietary. Are you saying that because the Open RAIL M license doesn't conform to the OSI definition of "open source"? I agree that it's not "open source", but I don't think that means it's "proprietary".
- bitL 3y agoHow is Stability AI going to make money? What they provide is super cool and VCs are into it but at some point they need to start giving them returns. Is the plan to get acquired?
- nomagicbullet 3y agoSome ideas: AI platform - They could charge a subscription fee for access to premium features on its open-source StableStudio platform. Consulting services - They could charge businesses for its AI and machine learning consulting services on a per-project basis or on a retainer basis. Acquisition - A larger company with more resources could acquire Stability AI to scale its operations and reach a wider audience.
- 10xDev 3y agoWhen even users are recommending a subscription service, that's when you know we have become brainwashed into thinking it's a healthy or required practice.
- rm999 3y agoTheir business plan is to build custom models for clients/companies who want to own models built on their own data. No comment on the viability of such a business model. https://twitter.com/EMostaque/status/1649152422634221593 https://twitter.com/EMostaque/status/1649152422634221593
- MacsHeadroom 3y agoThey're a B2B finetuning and fully managed model solution. Open Source is free marketing for them.
- lxe 3y agoNo local inference support as of yet at least. Here are a few things we’d be excited to support… Local inference through WebGPU Local inference through stable-diffusion-webui Desktop installation ControlNet tools Tell us what you want to see!
- SquareWheel 3y agoDoesn't that just mean that local inference runs on the CPU?
- hafriedlander 3y agoSince I re-implement the Stability APIs with gyre.ai, it should "just work" for a local inference option. I haven't tested though, and the API spec has lots of under-specified bits, so could be some stuff I need to tidy up. (Alternatively, despite the post content, in the github repo there is already a webui plugin, no idea of current state).
- jonplackett 3y agoI’d rather them focus on getting their hosted solution/api on par with Automatic. It needs control net, it needs seamless images. And all the other goodies that are now pretty standard. I like a hosted solution. Can we just make it much better please? If I am paying you to host a service I don’t want to also have to go an give my labour to create the software. That’s why I wanted a hosted service in the first place.
- naillo 3y agoPeople keep hyping this automatic UI but having tried it it's honestly so awful. Can't believe people are saying it's better than dreamstudio
- CuriouslyC 3y agoThe UI is awful, the functionality is not.
- nickthegreek 3y agoFor serious generation control, nothing else comes remotely close. It is the most impressive github project I have every installed tbh. The flexibility of the system is unmatched in the image gen space. It feels like I am back in the 90s.
- jonplackett 3y agoAgree the UI is not good. But dream studio also quite poor. But the functionality of automatic is too notch. SD without control net is now totally obsolete.
- Eduard 3y agoSo StableStudio is just a plugin-extendable user interface for interacting with an image generation model (e.g. via queries against some opaque remote endpoint) , but does not provide the actual image generation model? So the actually interesting meat is not part of the offer?
- hafriedlander 3y agoDon't discount the value (or difficulty) of a great user interface There are multiple servers that provide the backend "meat" already: gyre.ai (my personal project); Automatic1111 webui; InvokeAI; plus all the hosted APIs to name just a few. There are no UI interfaces I'd consider great. I think Flying Dog aistudio[1] is the best (although I'm biased), but still early days. The UI part of WebUI is ... functional(ish). DreamStudio / StableStudio is super basic in capability at the moment, but it's a space with tons of room for improvement.
