Stable Diffusion open models

Images

Content CredentialsA signed record (C2PA) of how the file was made, sealed so any change shows.

Not stated. None of Stability AI's pages listed under Sources read says so.

Stability AI does not say that its open models add Content Credentials.

Invisible watermarkA signal woven into the pixels, frames, audio or wording, meant to survive copying.

Stability AI's generative-models repository says images generated with its code embed an invisible watermark using the invisible-watermark library, and that this watermark differs from the one in Stable Diffusion 1.x and 2.x.

This describes the reference code, which users run and can edit themselves. An undated Stability AI page that appears to date from 2024 says watermarking is included by default in its open image models.

Quoted passage Invisible Watermark Detection

Images generated with our code use the [invisible-watermark](https://github.com/ShieldMnt/invisible-watermark/) library to embed an invisible watermark into the model output. We also provide a script to easily detect that watermark. Please note that this watermark is not the same as in previous Stable Diffusion 1.x/2.x versions.

Quoted passage Paragraph on safeguards ('We apply an imperceptible watermark …')

We apply an imperceptible watermark to images generated on our platform, and include watermarking by default in our open image models." "With significant elections in over 60 countries impacting 4 billion people this year, we believe safeguarding democracy is of paramount importance.

AI label in metadataA plain metadata field (IPTC Digital Source Type) saying AI made the content. Anyone can add or remove it.

Not stated. None of Stability AI's pages listed under Sources read says so.

Visible markA mark you can see, such as a logo or a sparkle in a corner.

Not stated. None of Stability AI's pages listed under Sources read says so.

Tool named in metadataThe tool or model written into ordinary file fields, such as Software or Creator.

Not stated. None of Stability AI's pages listed under Sources read says so.

Limits and detection

Checking tool from the makerA way the maker offers to check a file for its traces.

Stability AI's generative-models repository provides a script to detect the invisible watermark in images generated with its code.
