> train this from scratch If you're talking about training from scratch and not fine tuning, that won't be cheap or easy to do. You need thousands upon thousands of dollars of GPU compute [1] and a gigantic data set. I trained something nowhere near the scale of Stable Diffusion on Lambda Labs, and my bill was $14,000. [1] Assuming you rent GPUs hourly, because buying the hardware outright will be prohibitively expen…
Depends on the dataset. You can probably get decent results by restricting the modality of the images (faces, cars, bedrooms etc) I trained from scratch with 4x3090 and while it’s not as good as SD it’s surprisingly better with hands.

#103What's the bare minimum hardware required to generate images with this model? Can I do something with a 8GB 980? Probably not..? What about CPU only?
Re: Stable Diffusion 2.0
#104Are the GPU memory requirements different for this release? Is now it possible to generate higher resolution images with less memory?

#106They apparently tried to combat NSFW generation by filtering the training dataset not to include any.
The easiest way to combat this is to put your model behind an API and filter queries (midjourney, OpenAI) or just not make it available (Google). The tradeoff is that you're paying for everyone's compute. I guess SD is betting on saving $ on compute being more important in this space than the ability to gatekeep certain queries. And the tradeoff is that you need to do nsfw filtering in your released model. It will be…

#107I am a solo dev working on a creative content creation app to leverage the latest developments in AI. Demoing even the v1 of stable diffusion to the non-technical general users blows them away completely. Now that v2 is here, it’s clear we’re not able to keep pace in developing products to take advantage of it. The general public still is blown away by autosuggest in mobile OS keyboards. Very few really know how far…

You can download the model weights and run them offline. At least, you could in v1.4. I assume this is still possible on v2.0?
Right, but the model weights are arguably not the "source code", and the license gives the users fewer rights than open source licenses do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Open_Source_Definition
If you're trying to build an app based on SD, then not being open source matters. But seems like the majority of use cases are just "I want to run the model locally". And at that point HF can't stop me from just ripping the Wi-Fi card out of my computer.

They reportedly did so to stop people from generating CSAM [0]. [0] https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/y9ga5s/sta...
Do pixels have human rights now?

In practice, it's unclear how well avoiding training on NSFW images will work: the original LAION-400M dataset used for both SD versions did filter out some of the NSFW stuff, and it appears SD 2.0 filters out a bit more. The use of OpenCLIP in SD 2.0 may also prevent some leakage of NSFW textual concepts compared to OpenAI's CLIP. It will, however, definitely not affect the more-common use case of anime women with v…
The main reason why Stable Diffusion is worried about NSFW is that people will use it to generate disgusting amounts of CSAM. If LAION-5B or OpenAI's CLIP have ever seen CSAM - and given how these datasets are literally just scraped off the Internet, they have - then they're technically distributing it. Imagine the "AI is just copying bits of other people's art" argument, except instead of statutory damages of up to…
Diffusion model dont need any CSAM in training dataset to generate CSAM. All it's need is any random NSFW content alongside with any safe content that includes children.
