London-based AI lab Stability AI has announced an early preview of its new text-to-image model, Stable Diffusion 3. The advanced generative AI model aims to create high-quality images from text prompts with improved performance across several key areas.

The announcement comes just days after Stability AI’s largest rival, OpenAI, unveiled Sora—a brand new AI model capable of generating nearly-realistic, high-definition videos from simple text prompts.

Sora, which isn’t available to the general public yet either, sparked concerns about its potential to create realistic-looking fake footage. OpenAI said it’s working with experts in misinformation and hateful content to test the tool before making it widely available. 

According to Stability AI, Stable Diffusion 3 has significantly better abilities for handling multi-subject image generation compared to previous versions. This allows users to include more detailed prompts with multiple elements and achieve better results.

In addition to improvements with complex prompts, the new model boasts upgraded overall image quality and spelling accuracy. Stability AI claims these upgrades solve some consistency and coherence issues that have impacted past text-to-image models.

While not yet publicly available, Stability AI has opened a waitlist for people interested in early access to Stable Diffusion 3. The preview phase will allow Stability AI to gather feedback and continue refining the model before a full release planned later this year.

Stability AI said it is also working with experts to test Stable Diffusion 3 and ensure it mitigates potential harms, similar to OpenAI’s approach with Sora.

We stand for the safe and accountable application of AI. Hence, we continuously exert efforts to avert potential misuse of our Stable Diffusion 3 by unsavoury characters. Responsibility starts from the phase of model training and extends through testing, evaluation, and deployment,” Stability AI shared.

We implemented several security measures in anticipation of the early sneak peek. Our continuous dialogues with industry experts, researchers, and our community will drive more principled innovations as we gear towards the public release of the model,” they added

Stable Diffusion 3 comes in a variety of sizes ranging from 800 million parameters at the lower end to 8 billion parameters at the upper end. Stability AI indicated that this range aims to maintain a balance between creative performance and user accessibility despite computational resource differences.

Our firm resolve to keep generative AI safe, open, and accessible to all does not waver,” Stability AI stressed.

“With Stable Diffusion 3, we strive to offer adaptable solutions that enable individuals, developers, and enterprises to unleash their creativity, aligning with our mission to activate humanity’s potential.”
