Stability AI announces the launch of Stable Diffusion 3.5 Medium, a new free commercial AI painting tool, once again leading the innovation of AI painting technology. With its high performance and low threshold, this model brings advanced AI painting capabilities to the public, truly realizing the vision of "everyone can use". It adopts a streamlined 2.5 billion parameter design, which requires only 9.9GB of video memory to run smoothly, breaking through the hardware limitations of ordinary users and greatly reducing the threshold for AI painting.
Stability AI once again breaks through the technical barriers and launches the new Stable Diffusion3.5Medium model. This AI painting tool for the public is not only completely free and open for commercial use, but more importantly, it achieves a perfect balance between high performance and popularization.
This model, which adopts the multimodal diffusion converter (MMDiT-X) architecture, has a streamlined design of 2.5 billion parameters, cleverly solves the hardware threshold problem of ordinary users. With only 9.9GB of video memory, it can run smoothly on most consumer-grade graphics cards, truly realizing the vision of "everyone can be used".
In terms of technological innovation, the model integrates three pre-trained text encoders and introduces QK standardization technology to improve training stability. It is particularly worth mentioning that the dual attention module design in its first 12 transformation layers has significantly improved the model in terms of image quality, layout effect and complex prompt understanding.
The training process of the model combines synthetic data with selected public data, and adopts a hybrid training strategy with progressive resolution improvement, ensuring the diversity and quality of the generated images. Compared with similar medium-sized models, it shows obvious advantages in image generation effect and processing speed.
However, users need to pay attention to some details during use: excessively long prompt words may cause defects at the edge of the image; it is recommended to use a jump layer to guide the sampling method to optimize the structural integrity of the image; at the same time, it should be noted that due to the differences in the distribution of training data, The same prompt words may produce different creative effects.
The release of this model not only provides convenient AI creation tools for individual creators and start-ups, but also reflects Stability AI's determination to promote the popularization of AI technology. Whether used for artistic creation or educational development, it will bring the possibility of AI creation to a wider user base.
