So, there are at least a few dozen AI image generating sites, some specialized, other not. Are they all powered by SD? Maybe just with some better pre-prompting

So, there are at least a few dozen AI image generating sites, some specialized, other not. Are they all powered by SD? Maybe just with some better pre-prompting? Or are there other engines (eg DALL-E)?. AFAIK only SD can be run locally?

Most sites/apps use Stable Diffusion, yes. Custom model of these, because the base model of SD 1.5/2.1 is really... heh, complicated to say the least.

I've only run across 3 primary models: Midjourney (via their Discord), Dall-E and SD. And yes, there's a bunch of sites, but I've seen very similar quality to SD and no mention yet of a different base. I do expect there are other bases out there, but haven't seen any of quality yet. Before this release (XL 0.9) it's been unclear how much of the SD quality was in-house or came from their prior collab with Runway/Heidelberg.

  Kandinsky, Deep Floyd... Also Midjourney is derived from SD I believe.

    I don't think MJ is from SD.. found no mention of SD on their site or on Wiki, besides a comparison. Any citation?

    None of those is derived from SD

      I wasn't saying they were. Read back one more message. (However, I thought Midjourney definitely was at some point)
