Understanding Custom Models Go back to Part 5 Custom models, stemming from the base models released by Stability AI and their partners, open up a world of possibilities. The base models—like Stable Diffusion 1.4, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.1—form the foundation. What distinguishes custom models is their training process, often derived from v1.4 or v1.5. These models undergo additional training using specific data to produce images with unique styles or focused on particular objects. The beauty of custom models lies in their diversity. They can emulate various styles, from anime or Disney to other AI-driven aesthetics, allowing for limitless creativity. Comparing five different models showcases the breadth of their image-generating capabilities. Moreover, it's relatively easy to blend two models to create a fusion style. Choosing the Right Model For beginners, starting with the base models is recommended. Models like v1.4, v1.5, v2.0, v2.1, and Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) offer ample opportunit...
