AMD today announced its latest collaboration with Stability AI to introduce the world’s first block FP16 Stable Diffusion 3.0 Medium model. This new image generation model can generate significantly better quality images and is optimized to run on AMD Ryzen AI XDNA 2 NPUs.
Amuse is an AI image generation app by Tensorstack for Windows PCs. You can now download the latest Amuse v3.1 on a Ryzen AI laptop that has an XDNA 2 NPU to enjoy the SD 3.0 Medium model. Since the model runs entirely on the laptop, you don"t need to pay anything or even create an account to generate an image using AI. The Amuse app also allows you to apply custom AI filters to your photos and images.
Recommended Specs to run the SD 3.0 model using Amuse:
- AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processors with 24GB of RAM or higher
- AMD Ryzen 8040 series processors (AMD XDNA Super Resolution requires the latest OEM MCDM and NPU driver update) with 32GB of RAM
AMD and Stability AI have implemented several optimizations to make the SD 3.0 model run on Ryzen laptops. For example, they have reduced the memory requirements to make it run on 24GB laptops while consuming only 9GB of memory. Additionally, a 2-stage pipeline powered by the AMD XDNA 2 NPU increases the output 2MP (1024x1024) image to a 4MP resolution (2048x2048), making it more suitable for print scenarios.
AMD has also provided some prompting tips and samples on its website to achieve better results with this Stable Diffusion 3.0 model; you can check it out here.
The ability to run powerful image generation models locally on a laptop opens up new possibilities for creativity and workflow efficiency, without the constraints of cloud-based AI services.
