Emad Mostaque resigned as CEO of Stability AI in March due to concerns from investors about the financial viability of the company and its business operations. Mostaque has since been working on a new venture known as Schelling AI, which aims to help advance his vision for decentralized AI.
The new CEO of Stability AI is Prem Akkaraju, former CEO of visual effects company Weta Digital. He is part of a group of investors, including former Facebook President Sean Parker, that has stepped in to save Stability with a cash infusion3.
Stable Diffusion is known for being a powerful text-to-image generative AI technology. It is primarily used to create detailed images based on text descriptions and can also be applied to other tasks such as inpainting, outpainting, and generating image-to-image translations guided by a text prompt1. Stable Diffusion is considered to be part of the ongoing artificial intelligence boom and has gained recognition for its ability to produce high-quality, realistic images1.
