Stable Diffusion 3.5 Is Here — Better Quality, Easier Prompts, and Real Photorealism

Stability.AI's latest release, Stable Diffusion 3.5 (SD3.5), includes two versions, Large and Large Turbo, designed for quality and efficiency, with a Medium version for smaller GPU specs to be released soon. SD3.5 addresses previous issues with anatomy expression in image generation, now producing photorealistic images of people and animals with minimal prompting. While some limitations remain, such as generating specific reptilian features, the base model effectively creates usable images without the flaws of its predecessor. Users can quickly deploy SD3.5 on platforms like Runpod for less than a dollar per hour by following straightforward setup instructions, enabling them to generate images rapidly. The community is expected to soon develop new checkpoints and fine-tunes for SD3.5, with resources available for those interested in experimenting with serverless deployment or monitoring updates on platforms like CivitAI. Runpod highlights the excitement and potential of this release and encourages users to share their experiences on their Discord community, appreciating contributors like Camenduru for their templates and worker contributions.
