Stable Diffusion in your pocket? "Draw Things" brings AI images to iPhone

On Wednesday, a San Francisco-based developer named Liu Liu released Draw Things: AI Generation, a free app available in the App Store that lets iPhone owners run the popular Stable Diffusion AI image generator. Type in a description, and the app generates an image within several minutes. It's a notable step toward bringing image synthesis to a wider audience--with the added privacy of running it on your own hardware. Introduced in August, Stable Diffusion (SD) is an AI image generator model that creates novel images from text descriptions (called "prompts"). Typically, people run SD through the commercial DreamStudio service, on a remote cloud machine with rented compute time, or locally on a PC using a custom open source implementation.
