What a time to be alive! We’re living in an amazing era where Generative AI is changing the game, especially in image generation. This technology is blowing our minds by creating stunning, realistic images from scratch.

Chances are, unless you’ve been living under the most isolated rock ever, you’ve probably seen or even created some AI art yourself!

Generative AI is making waves and capturing the attention of people all over the world. And with new advancements and applications being developed every day, there’s no telling what this technology will be capable of in the future.

So, whether you’re a tech nerd or just curious about the latest and greatest in AI, join us as we explore the exciting world of Generative AI. Get ready to be amazed, inspired, and maybe even a little bit confused (but in a good way!).

Let’s dive in!

As you may have guessed from the title, this series is about Generative AI and Diffusion Models, which have witnessed incredible advances in the last few years (Stable Diffusion was released late 2022 by Stability AI).

Over the months, the open-source community has been hyper active about creating and sharing models and tools at unmatched pace.

Some of these projects are the following:

  • Diffusers 🧨: Diffusers is the go-to library for state-of-the-art pretrained diffusion models for generating images, audio, and even 3D structures of molecules.
  • Stable Diffusion Web UI (AUTOMATIC1111 or A1111 for short): A gradio-based GUI for diffusion models.
  • ComfyUI: a powerful and modular stable diffusion GUI, api and backend with a graph/nodes interface.

And many other incredible projects that I haven’t mentioned here.

This series is all about generative AI art, with more focus on ComfyUI as a modular and powerful tool to share and explain workflows efficiently.

Stay tuned for the next episodes!

In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at Generative AI and its impact on various industries. From art and design to healthcare and entertainment, this tech is shaking things up and opening up a world of possibilities.

So, whether you’re a tech nerd or just curious about the latest and greatest in AI, join us as we explore the exciting world of Generative AI. Get ready to be amazed, inspired, and maybe even a little bit confused (but in a good way!). Let’s dive in!
