Why Stable Diffusion
While DALL-E 2 and other commercial image generation models such as Midjourney can produce remarkable images without requiring complex environment setups or hardware preparation, these models are closed-source. Consequently, users have limited control over the generation process, cannot use their own customized models, and are unable to add custom functions to the platform.
On the other hand, Stable Diffusion is an open source model released under the CreativeML Open RAIL-M license. Users not only have the freedom to utilize the model but can also read the source code, add features, and benefit from the countless custom models shared by the community.
