Image Generation & Stable Diffusion

Stable Diffusion is an open-source AI model that generates images from text descriptions. It uses diffusion techniques to progressively denoise random patterns into coherent images matching the input prompt.

For local use, a GPU with 8GB+ VRAM is recommended. Cloud services and web-based tools like Midjourney and DALL-E don't require local hardware. Training custom models needs more powerful GPUs.

Yes, techniques like LoRA, DreamBooth, and textual inversion allow you to fine-tune models on custom images. This is useful for generating consistent characters, styles, or brand-specific imagery.

It depends on the model and platform. Stable Diffusion's open-source license allows commercial use. DALL-E and Midjourney have their own commercial terms. Always check the specific license for your use case.
