latent-diffusion VS dalle-2-preview

Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) is the latest text-to-image generation model developed by Stability AI, based on the latent diffusion techniques. SDXL has the potential to create highly realistic images for media, entertainment, education, and industry domains, opening new ways in practical uses of AI imagery.

Here's a link to the early latent-diffusion git, that might be able to create a blank model (I haven't tested it): https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion

Latent diffusion could work for you: https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion (https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.10752)

There are a lot but the one implemented as LDSR in most stable guis is this one. https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion

The "retrieval based model" refers to https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion#retrieval-augmen..., which uses ScaNN to train a knn embedding searcher.

Stability is basically https://github.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion + training data.

DDIM and PLMS were the original samplers. They were part of Latent Diffusion's repository. They stand for the papers that introduced them, Denoising Diffusion Implicit Models and Pseudo Numerical Methods for Diffusion Models on Manifolds.

We believe that many decisions about our defaults and hard bounds should be made collectively, and while practical implementation is a challenge, we aim to include as many perspectives as possible. As a starting point, we’ve sought external input on our technology in the form of red teaming. We also recently began soliciting public input on AI in education (one particularly important context in which our technology is being deployed).

From this OpenAI document:

It's also of note that you can't sell a game using this method, as Dalle-2's terms of service prevent use in commercial projects. It's hard to justify rate of return considering you can only ever give it away for free, and even in that case there are some uncertain legal elements regarding copyright and the images that are used to train the dataset.

On their GitHub https://github.com/openai/dalle-2-preview/blob/main/system-card.md I can only see references to v1.

"b) Exploration of the bolded part of OpenAI's comment "Each generated image includes a signature in the lower right corner, with the goal of indicating when DALL·E 2 helped generate a certain image." (source)." (source link: https://github.com/openai/dalle-2-preview/blob/main/system-c...)

I feel the DALL-E 2 watermark signature could be a seed or something.

DALL-E's docs for example mention it can output whole copyrighted logos and characters[1] and understands it's possible to generate human faces that are bear the likeness of those in the training data. We've also seen people recently critique Stable Diffusion's output for attempting to recreate artists' signatures that came from the commercial trained data.

That said by a certain point the kinks will be ironed out and likely skirt around such issues by only incorporating/manipulating just enough to be considered fair use and creative transformation.

Some types of content were purposely excluded from the training dataset(s) (source).
