Recently, Zhichu AI has open-sourced its latest creation—CogView3 and its upgraded version CogView-3Plus-3B, injecting new vitality into the field of text-to-image generation. The debut of CogView3 is undoubtedly a significant milestone. As the first model to achieve relay diffusion in the text-to-image generation domain, it employs a unique cascade diffusion method. This innovative approach first generates low-resolution images and then completes the final output through relay-based super-resolution technology. This not only greatly enhances...

UK-based AI startup Stability AI has appointed Prem Akkaraju as its new CEO. Akkaraju previously served as the CEO of visual effects company Weta Digital and is also one of Stability AI's investors. The investor lineup for Stability AI is impressive, including former Facebook president Sean Parker among others, with total investments exceeding 1.

The Stable Diffusion 3 model introduces the DiT (Diffusion Transformer) architecture, which significantly improves quality. Stable Diffusion 3 outperforms other text-to-image generation systems. The parameter count of Stable Diffusion 3 ranges from 800M to 8B. The SD3 architecture is developed in collaboration with core members of Sora and an assistant professor from New York University.

Stable Diffusion 3 is the most powerful text-to-image model. It adopts the MMDiT architecture, demonstrating performance that surpasses existing text-to-image generation systems. Stable Diffusion 3 excels in visual aesthetics, text adherence, and layout compared to other advanced models. The MMDiT architecture combines DiT and rectangular flow forms, processing image and language representations through independent weight sets. Stable Diffusion 3 offers flexibility.
