About Stable Diffusion XL
Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) is Stability AI's large-scale image generation model, released July 2023. It features a two-stage pipeline (base model + optional refiner), dual text encoders (OpenCLIP and CLIP-L), and a larger UNet backbone producing higher-resolution, more detailed images than SD 1.5. SDXL became a widely used base for community fine-tunes and supports LoRA, ControlNet, and inpainting.
