## Try out this model on [VESSL Hub](https://vessl.ai/hub).

A simple web app for [stable diffusion](https://stability.ai/) inference is deployed in this example. Some SD model checkpoints are mounted with a VESSL Model so you can try some generation instantly.

Stable diffusion is a deep learning, text-to-image model that uses a diffusion technique, which generates an image from noise by iterating gradual denoising steps. Unlike other text-to-image models, stable diffusion performs a diffusion process in the latent space with smaller dimensions and reconstructs the result to the image in a real dimension. Also, a cross-attention mechanism is added for multi-modal tasks such as text-to-image and layout-to-image tasks.

## Running the model

You can run the model with our quick command.
```sh
vessl run crewate -f sd-webui.yaml
```

Here's a rundown of the `sd-webui.yaml` file.
