WaveSpeedOpen-source image generation from Stability AI
SDXL (Stable Diffusion XL) is an open-source image generation model developed by Stability AI and released in July 2023. It accepts text prompts alongside optional source images, width, height, and seed inputs to produce generated images, making it suitable for both text-to-image and image-to-image workflows. The model is served through Wavespeed on MindStudio at a cost of $0.001 per image.
SDXL is well suited for creative workflows that require reproducible outputs, since the seed input allows users to recreate or iterate on specific generations. Its open-source nature means the weights are publicly available, enabling fine-tuning and community-built extensions. Common use cases include concept art generation, product visualization, and building image generation features into AI-powered applications.
What SDXL supports
Text-to-Image Generation
Generates images from text prompts with configurable output dimensions via width and height inputs. Priced at $0.001 per image.
Image-to-Image Input
Accepts a source image URL as input to guide or transform the generated output, enabling image-to-image workflows.
Reproducible Outputs
Supports a seed input that allows users to reproduce or iterate on specific image generations deterministically.
Open Source Weights
Model weights are publicly available, allowing fine-tuning, custom training, and community-built extensions.
Custom Output Resolution
Width and height parameters let users specify exact pixel dimensions for generated images.
