Stable Diffusion / Stability AI
Stable Diffusion is an open-weight text-to-image model by Stability AI, widely used for local and commercial image generation under a permissive licence.
What is Stable Diffusion / Stability AI?
Is Stable Diffusion / Stability AI down? Stable Diffusion is an open-source text-to-image generative AI model developed primarily by Stability AI and released in August 2022. Unlike Midjourney, Stable Diffusion's model weights were released publicly, enabling anyone to run image generation locally on their own hardware — a decision that democratised AI image generation and spawned an enormous ecosystem of fine-tuned models, community modifications, and tools like AUTOMATIC1111 and ComfyUI. Stability AI provided hosted access through DreamStudio and its API, while the open-source releases powered thousands of third-party applications.
Stability AI's release of Stable Diffusion fundamentally shaped the AI art landscape: local runners could generate images with no usage limits or content restrictions enforced at the model level, and the community rapidly produced specialised fine-tunes for anime, photorealism, concept art, and countless other styles. Subsequent model releases — SDXL, Stable Diffusion 3, Stable Video Diffusion, and Stable Audio — expanded the platform into video and audio generation. Stability AI faced significant financial challenges through 2023 and 2024, but its open model releases continued to underpin a vast ecosystem.
Stability AI hosted service outages affect users of DreamStudio and the Stability AI API, manifesting as image generation queues stalling, API endpoints returning errors, or account access failing. The open-source nature of Stable Diffusion means local users are unaffected by hosted service outages, but developers relying on the commercial API see direct impact on their applications.
If Stability AI and DreamStudio is down, Outage.gg tracks Stability AI and DreamStudio server status and outage history in real time.
