Stable Diffusion is the latent-space Diffusion Models image generator open-sourced by Stability AI in August 2022, based on the Compvis team's Latent Diffusion paper. Its ability to run on a consumer GPU democratized image generation and produced a large open-source ecosystem around tools like ComfyUI and Automatic1111. The family kept evolving through SD 1.5, SDXL, SD 3, and Stable Diffusion 3.5. ControlNet, LoRA fine-tunes, and Inpainting workflows became standardized largely thanks to its ecosystem.
