Stable Diffusion is a model family used for image generation and creative iteration. In practice, most users care less about the raw architecture and more about three questions:

  1. How do I use it online?

That is why Stable Diffusion Web is organized around the browser playground plus dedicated pages for prompts, image-to-image, and models.
