Stable Diffusion 3 Medium

Model

Stable Diffusion 3 Medium is a Multimodal Diffusion Transformer (MMDiT) text-to-image model that features greatly improved performance in image quality, typography, complex prompt understanding, and resource-efficiency.

Model Description

• Developed by: Stability AI
• Model type: MMDiT text-to-image generative model
• Model Description: This is a model that can be used to generate images based on text prompts. It is a Multimodal Diffusion Transformer (https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.03206) that uses three fixed, pretrained text encoders (OpenCLIP-ViT/G, CLIP-ViT/L and T5-xxl)

Training Dataset

We used synthetic data and filtered publicly available data to train our models. The model was pre-trained on 1 billion images. The fine-tuning data includes 30M high-quality aesthetic images focused on specific visual content and style, as well as 3M preference data images.

We have prepared three packaging variants of the SD3 Medium model, each equipped with the same set of MMDiT & VAE weights, for user convenience.

• sd3_medium.safetensors includes the MMDiT and VAE weights but does not include any text encoders.
• sd3_medium_incl_clips_t5xxlfp8.safetensors contains all necessary weights, including fp8 version of the T5XXL text encoder, offering a balance between quality and resource requirements.
• sd3_medium_incl_clips.safetensors includes all necessary weights except for the T5XXL text encoder. It requires minimal resources, but the model's performance will differ without the T5XXL text encoder.
• The text_encoders folder contains three text encoders and their original model card links for user convenience. All components within the text_encoders folder (and their equivalents embedded in other packings) are subject to their respective original licenses.
• The example_workfows folder contains example comfy workflows.

Uses

Intended Uses

Intended uses include the following:

• Generation of artworks and use in design and other artistic processes.
• Applications in educational or creative tools.
• Research on generative models, including understanding the limitations of generative models.

All uses of the model should be in accordance with our Acceptable Use Policy.

Out-of-Scope Uses

The model was not trained to be factual or true representations of people or events. As such, using the model to generate such content is out-of-scope of the abilities of this model.

Safety

As part of our safety-by-design and responsible AI deployment approach, we implement safety measures throughout the development of our models, from the time we begin pre-training a model to the ongoing development, fine-tuning, and deployment of each model. We have implemented a number of safety mitigations that are intended to reduce the risk of severe harms, however we recommend that developers conduct their own testing and apply additional mitigations based on their specific use cases.
For more about our approach to Safety, please visit our Safety page.

Evaluation Approach

Our evaluation methods include structured evaluations and internal and external red-teaming testing for specific, severe harms such as child sexual abuse and exploitation, extreme violence, and gore, sexually explicit content, and non-consensual nudity. Testing was conducted primarily in English and may not cover all possible harms. As with any model, the model may, at times, produce inaccurate, biased or objectionable responses to user prompts.

Risks identified and mitigations:

• Harmful content: We have used filtered data sets when training our models and implemented safeguards that attempt to strike the right balance between usefulness and preventing harm. However, this does not guarantee that all possible harmful content has been removed. The model may, at times, generate toxic or biased content. All developers and deployers should exercise caution and implement content safety guardrails based on their specific product policies and application use cases.
• Misuse: Technical limitations and developer and end-user education can help mitigate against malicious applications of models. All users are required to adhere to our Acceptable Use Policy, including when applying fine-tuning and prompt engineering mechanisms. Please reference the Stability AI Acceptable Use Policy for information on violative uses of our products.
• Privacy violations: Developers and deployers are encouraged to adhere to privacy regulations with techniques that respect data privacy.
