Stable Diffusion 3 (SD3) is the latest text-to-image generation model from Stability AI, surpassing its predecessors in terms of realism, detail, and color accuracy. It outperforms other models, including SDXL, DALL·E 3, and Midjourney v6, in visual aesthetics, prompt following, and typography based on human evaluations. SD3 generates highly realistic and detailed images from textual descriptions, handling intricate details like textures, lighting, and shadows with greater precision. The model's largest version has 8 billion parameters, runs on a 24GB RTX 4090, and produces 1024x1024 images in 34 seconds with 50 sampling steps. Multiple versions of SD3 will be available to suit various hardware, and the SD3 API offers developers powerful tools for integrating advanced image generation technology into applications.
