AMD Puts Out BF16 SD 3.0 Mid Model Made for XDNA 2 NPUS
AMD, with Stability AI, just put out the first ever block FP16 (BF16) Stable Diffusion 3.0 Mid model. This new model works best with AMD's XDNA 2 NPUs, making text-to-image making quick and using less memory on laptops that can use it.
Main Steps Up with the New Model
After AMD showed the SDXL Turbo model at Computex 2024, this release is a big step up for AI tasks done locally.
- Memory use: The model is made to run on laptops with 24GB of RAM but only uses 9GB of it, letting more devices use high-level AI.
- Top-Quality Output: It uses BF16 to make top-quality images with no big loss of detail, keeping the pictures right.
- 4MP Image Making Bigger: A two-step process with the XDNA 2 NPU makes the normal 1024x1024 picture into a clear 4MP (2048x2048) one.
- Local and No Pay Needed: Users can make high-quality, fit-for-brand images on their PC without needing the web or to pay extra.

Hints for Better Asks
The Stable Diffusion 3.0 Mid model really gets how you ask. To get the best look, think about these hints:
- Start with what kind of picture, add big parts, then add small details.
- Not all tries are spot on. You might need to change the ask to get what you want, then try 25-30 times.
- Saying what not to put can help, but too much can mess up the picture.
