Stability AI, the startup behind the image generation model Stable Diffusion, has launched a new service that turns sketches into images. The service, called Stable Doodle, uses the latest Stable Diffusion model to analyze the outlines of sketches and generate "visually pleasing" artwork. Users can already use the service through the ClipDrop platform, which was acquired by Stability AI in March this year, and its predecessor was Init ML, an AI startup founded by former Google employees.
Stability AI revealed in a blog post that the Stable Doodle is aimed at professionals and novices, no matter how familiar they are with AI tools, "With the Stable Doodle, anyone with basic drawing skills and internet access can Generate high-quality original images in-house.”
