The Development Process

In developing Stable Diffusion 3.5, our team prioritized customizability and flexibility. We achieved this through the integration of Query-Key Normalization into the transformer blocks, stabilizing the training process and allowing for easier fine-tuning and development.

This commitment to customization comes with some trade-offs. Users may notice variability in outputs generated from the same prompt with different seeds. This design choice helps maintain a diverse knowledge base and range of styles, though prompts lacking specificity could result in more unpredictable outputs.

Where Stable Diffusion 3.5 Excels

1. Customizability

Users can fine-tune the model to suit specific needs, enabling creative exploration and tailored applications.

2. Efficient Performance

Optimized for consumer hardware, including Medium and Turbo variants, eliminating the need for costly setups.

3. Diverse Outputs

Generates images with a broad representation of global diversity, promoting inclusivity in content without extensive prompting.

4. Versatile Styles

Supports a wide array of visual styles including 3D renders, photography, paintings, and line art.

5. Leading Benchmark Performance

The Large variant excels in prompt adherence and quality, while the Turbo model offers fast inference with competitive accuracy.

6. Medium Model Advantage

Outperforms other medium-sized models by balancing efficiency with high image quality and reliable prompt execution.

Understanding the Stability AI Community License

Stable Diffusion 3.5 is released under the Stability AI Community License, offering broad use rights:

  • Free for Non-Commercial Use: Ideal for individual and research projects.
  • Free for Commercial Use: Available to businesses with annual revenue under $1 million.
  • Ownership of Outputs: Users own the images they generate with no restrictive licensing concerns.

For enterprises exceeding $1 million in revenue, an Enterprise License is available upon inquiry.
