SDXL 0.9 with Emad, Applied ML Team & Amli on Discord!

This week's Stable Stage with Emad Mostaque, Joe Penna, Alex Goodwin, Yam Levi & Amli of ‪@Stability_AI‬

🚀 Summary: SDXL 0.9 Release and Updates:

- Releasing on API, Dream Studio, and Clip Drop
- Research weights sent to selected researchers
- Targeting full 1.0 release mid-July
- Creative ML license like original SD
- Continuous improvement after initial release

🌈 Differences from Previous Models:

- Better at handling prompts and following instructions
- Higher quality and more creative outputs
- Easier to communicate with in natural language
- Minimum effort produces equal or better results

💻 Hardware Requirements:

- 8GB VRAM sufficient for image generation and training
- Train full model on RTX 2070 (8GB VRAM) or better
- Goal: Optimize for accessibility on less powerful hardware

🔧 Workflow and Model Building Process:

-Experiment with different models and architectures
-Combine successful elements from "ugly" models
-Explore multiple directions, converge on solutions
-24/7 GPU testing for continuous progress
-Analyze loss graphs, samples, and try various techniques
-Team collaboration for experimentation and improvement

🌟 Plans after SDXL 1.0:

- Video models, new SD architectures
- Specialized models for photo-realistic, digital art, etc.
- Further optimization for efficiency and accessibility
- Provide tools and resources for building on the models
- Goal: Democratization of this groundbreaking technology
