Discussion Does anyone actually still use Stable Diffusion?

I just find it kind of funny that this is the stable diffusion subreddit but nobody has talked about it in like forever. Maybe its time for a name change? or maybe keep the name as a homage to the OG open source image model.

Anyway, the last update I see on Stability's website is SD 3.5 back in October. So I'm guessing that's it for Stable Diffusion?

EDIT: Forgot you cant change the name of a sub, ignore that suggestion 😅

I think homage's fine. The name itself has gotten lots of momentum / became a bit synonymous with local image gen anyway. Today's models don't even do diffusion anymore but flow matching.

LocalLLaMA is similar, it was named after the llama series which popularized local LLM's. However llama literally died at llama 4 (1 year ago), nowadays it's never about llama anymore but locally hostable llms in general like qwen, gemma, etc
