Stable Diffusion is Stability AI's open-source latent diffusion model series for text-to-image generation. The 1.x series (including v1.5) became the foundation for a vast open-source ecosystem of fine-tunes, ControlNet extensions, and community models. SD 1.5 uses a UNet architecture with CLIP text encoder and runs efficiently on consumer hardware.
