Introduction

New OpenCLIP text encoder, new training subset and higher resolutions show how model/data changes quickly alter style and prompting behavior.

Release and use

Stable Diffusion 2.0 introduces text-to-image models using OpenCLIP, distinguishing them from V1 and changing resolution and other image capabilities. Different results from the same prompt do not, by themselves, demonstrate a change in the user’s writing or taste.

Change in creative practice

An upgrade can alter established working conventions between creator and model. Preservation requires weight and text-encoder versions, not just the Stable Diffusion family name. Migration between versions is itself part of creative experience.
