Frequently asked questions

If this doesn't help, reach out to me at [email protected].

What is Stable Diffusion?The technical answer: it's a latent text-to-image diffusion model. The English answer: its a new AI model that lets you create images from natural language. If you've heard of DALL-E, it's like that but open source.
What's the difference between the two downloads? What is no weights?The normal download contains "training weights" for the CHARL-E model to run. If you want a smaller download, install the no weights version and add your weights directory in the options menu.
Who are you?My name is Charlie Holtz. I live in NYC and work in quantitative finance. You can learn more about me on my website: charlieholtz.com
Why is this running so slow?Improvements are being made in the Stable Diffusion community every day. I'm working on a couple ways to make it faster - stay tuned.
Will this be available on Intel Macs?Yep, I'm working on making it compatible with older Macs. Sign up for the newsletter to be notified when it's ready.
