The team at Stability AI attributes the enhanced results to a significant increase in the model’s parameter count, which encompasses all the weights and biases within the neural network used for training. The larger parameter count enables SDXL 0.9 to produce more refined and lifelike creations. While the model can run on a standard home computer, utilizing the software locally will require a minimum of 16GB of RAM and a GeForce RTX 20 (or higher) graphics card with 8GB of VRAM. It is compatible with Windows 11 / 10 and Linux operating systems.
