Stability AI: Game-Changing June Updates. Clipdrop and SDXL.
Artificial intelligence has revolutionized the world we live in, and it's no secret that it's transforming the way we go about our lives. AI can help us do everything from reading and absorbing knowledge to creative pursuits that once required a human touch. In a world that values productivity and busyness -- the infamous "hustle culture" -- it's no surprise that we're welcoming AI's assistance with open arms.
AI tools that boost productivity and eliminate tedious tasks are here to stay. Plus, the AI tools that help us unleash our creativity are winning over users left and right! A world where every creative idea is doable without compromising is already here. And I sure am excited to join it and experiment with my creativity.
Stability AI's latest AI-based Clipdrop and SDXL updates show that creativity and machines can be a match made in heaven!
In this blog post, let’s delve into their latest updates for Clipdrop and SDXL AI. We'll explore how these updates can simplify your life, add flavor to it, and enhance your creativity.
What’s the News from Stability AI in June 2023?
Stability AI is fast becoming a major player in the world of AI development, with a recent announcement on their blog about the launch of SDXL 0.9. The model is the latest and most advanced development in the Stable Diffusion text-to-image suite of models. This cutting-edge technology is sure to make waves and set new standards in the field.
And another major launch this June from Stability AI is the Uncrop feature for Clipdrop. Uncrop is a powerful AI-generated tool that allows you to easily transform your images by altering their ratios. With just a few clicks, this tool generates a background that perfectly complements your original image, creating a balanced composition every time.
The best news: Stability AI is open source and offers these tools for free to its users. SDXL 0.9 can be used through the Clipdrop by Stability AI platform. Clipdrop and its new feature, Uncrop, can be used in the Clipdrop web app without even having to login.
Uncrop from Clipdrop: A Game-Changer for Effortless Image Editing
Uncrop uses Stability AI's groundbreaking technology, Stable Diffusion XL, to help users pump up their image game. With just a few clicks, outpainting technology can transform imperfect and cropped images into visually stunning works of art.
Advanced algorithms and deep learning analyze the image content to create plausible visualizations of what may have been present. With Uncrop, the power of AI is right at your fingertips, generating impressive images without sacrificing quality.
Uncrop is a super versatile tool that can benefit users in so many ways. With its post-photo processing power, you can easily adjust framing to enhance aesthetics & resize images to banner or large-canvas dimensions quickly.
Here is just an example of what you can do with Uncrop:
From a simple – but cropped – image of a top of a mountain to a more engaging and complete landscape.
Pretty good, huh?
While Uncrop is super impressive, it's important to know that it does have some limits. Extreme cropping and images missing a ton of content might produce results that are less accurate. So it's always a smart idea to try to use the same image quality as the original.
Also, it's worth noting that Uncrop uses algorithms for analyzing surrounding pixels to fill in the gaps, all with the aim of delivering a great-looking and coherent result. Accuracy depends on how complex the scene is.
Create Stunning Images with SDXL 0.9 - The Improved Version of Stable Diffusion!
After its successful beta release in April, Stable Diffusion XL's newest version (SDXL 0.9) generates massively improved image and composition details from its predecessor. The model is presently accessible through ClipDrop, with an API expected shortly.
Although SDXL 0.9 can be run on modern GPUs, its capabilities go far beyond that. The software represents a giant step forward in the creative use cases for generative AI imagery. It offers hyper-realistic image creation for films, television, music, instruction, design, and industrial applications, placing it at the cutting edge of AI imagery's real-world applications.
The SDXL series goes beyond simple text prompting, offering additional functionalities that bolster its capabilities. Take, for instance, image-to-image prompting, which generates an array of image variations. You can also use SDXL for inpainting, which restores missing image parts, and outpainting, which seamlessly extends any given image.
Here’s a glimpse of what you can do with SDXL:
Prompt: Bee flying out of a glass jar in a green and red leafy basket, glass and lens flare, diffuse lighting, elegant
For a quick comparison, here is how that same prompt is processed by Stable Diffusion:
There is quite a difference.
SDXL 0.9 will only be available for a limited time for research purposes to acquire feedback and refine the model before a full public release. The code to run the model will be available on Github for everyone. After SDXL 0.9, the SDXL 1.0 full open release is set for mid-July. It is important to note that SDXL 0.9 is under a non-commercial, research-only license.
Final thoughts on SDXL and Uncrop
AI technology has revolutionized content creation and consumption, with AI-generated imagery taking the lead for creative use cases. Stability AI makes waves with two game-changers: SDXL 0.9, a more advanced Stable Diffusion iteration, and Uncrop, a powerful outpainting tool.
These tools offer businesses and content creators the ability to generate stunning visuals across various communication channels rapidly. SDXL and Uncrop demonstrate the potential of AI-powered image editing for the future of digital media and content production. By enabling businesses to create impressive visuals, they can attract audiences and stand out amidst strong competition.
