Stability AI recently released the weights for Stable Diffusion 3 Medium, a 2 billion parameter text-to-image model that excels at photorealism, typography, and prompt following.

You can run the official Stable Diffusion 3 model on Replicate, and it is available for commercial use. We have also open-sourced our Diffusers and ComfyUI implementations (read our guide to ComfyUI).

In this blog post we’ll show you how to use Stable Diffusion 3 (SD3) to get the best images, including how to prompt SD3, which is a bit different from previous Stable Diffusion models.

To help you experiment, we’ve created an SD3 explorer model that exposes all of the settings we discuss here.

SD3 has very good adherence to long, descriptive prompts. Try it out yourself in our SD3 explorer model.
