This website doesn't appear to be associated with Stability. The actual generator is just a mirror of https://huggingface.co/spaces/markmagic/Stable-Diffusion-3

Very nice generations, but it fails the "nerd without glasses test"[1].

I'd love to know which SD model this is because its sure as FK not the 2b they released for everyone, this one can actually do humans

It would have been preferable if this complimentary online service had been made available concurrently with the introduction of stable diffusion, similar to DALL-E and Bing Chat.

Nevertheless, it is still commendable that it is being offered now, albeit belatedly.

I think it may have been a political choice. Fireworks.ai is apparently providing compute for Stability for SD3, and Fireworks has had https://fireworks.ai/models/stability/sd3 up for a while which appears to be basically the same thing.

It's an odd thing going to Fireworks and getting a page where you have to provide a Stability API key.

I get a feeling there may have been some agreement for Stability to not provide a UI to drive traffic to Fireworks, and it went south for both of them because no one could find the Fireworks page to send traffic to and adoption of SD3 was lower than expected because of the lack of a UI.

That being said, it's very easy to wrap in a CLI. I'm using a ~300 LoC Go CLI application I wrote to call the SD3 API, download the image, embed the prompt in the EXIF data, save it to disk and then open it in Firefox so I can see it.

Any chance you'd mind sharing that script? Sounds awesome.

Yeah, give me a few hours to clean it up and I’ll post it. Needs a readme and input validation on a couple of the flags before it feels ready for prime time.

Edit: Patched it up, it's at https://github.com/SethCurry/sdcli Feel free to make suggestions, open PRs or issues, whatever you'd like. I'll do some more clean up and commenting, I hadn't expected anyone to have much interest in using it but I don't mind maintaining it if it will get used.

Thanks so much! I'll give it a try this afternoon. Sorry for the delayed response, I don't check my HN replies very often.
