Stable Video Diffusion

Stability AI's open-source video model, Stable Video Diffusion, generates short video clips from existing images. Its primary strength lies in its open nature, allowing developers and researchers to fine-tune, modify, and deploy the model locally or via API for specific use cases. While its base output may be less polished than some closed competitors, its flexibility and the active community building upon it are unparalleled. It serves as a critical foundation for custom applications in gaming, advertising, and research. Its target audience is technically adept users, developers, and companies that require control over their model and wish to integrate video generation into bespoke workflows.
