In this video I explain, on a high level, how diffusion models work. I also walk you through how to set up and use Stable Diffusion locally on a Mac M1. In this tutorial I use tensorflow and the keras_cv package to convert text to images. If you do not have a GPU, follow along with this tutorial in this colab notebook (https://colab.research.google.com/github/huggingface/notebooks/blob/main/diffusers/stable_diffusion.ipynb) after running the first few cells.
