AI Image Generation
Stable Diffusion by Stability AI
Stable Diffusion is the open-weights image model you can run on your own machine, tune to your own style, and embed in your own workflows. This course covers how latent diffusion works, the tools and parameters that shape your images, the customization stack of LoRAs and ControlNet, a professional end-to-end workflow, and the licensing and ethics you must know.
