Hugging Face is the home of the modern AI community and is where Stable Diffusion lives. The first thing you’ll need to do is create an account at Hugging Face.

I use Rclone in this example but any cloud drive software will work. Whatever software tool you’d like to use to mount Backblaze B2 as a drive on your computer.A smartphone to take pictures if you don’t have 20 or so pictures of whatever subject you want to use lying around.Getting Started with Stable Diffusion and Backblaze B2 So, how does it all work? Let’s get into it. This way, you aren’t serving up images on public sites. This could be hugely useful for marketing teams, but we also see the value for individuals or businesses who want to keep their data private but still take advantage of AI technology. Egress between Backblaze and Vultr is free, so the analysis won’t cost you anything beyond what it costs to use the two services. But for a real implementation, you could use a Backblaze cloud compute partner like Vultr. In this experiment, I used Google Colab, which worked well for my needs. Set up that way, you have your own customized AI engine that analyzes and generates only images that are pertinent to your needs, rather than a bunch of images you don’t care about. So, you run Stable Diffusion in a cloud compute instance and have it analyze a Backblaze B2 Bucket where you store your own library of images, which you’ve probably been collecting for years.
You could use Stable Diffusion’s paid version and get access to hundreds of thousands of random images from Google, but you really only care about analyzing and generating photos that are relevant to your business. Let’s say you’re a marketing team at a small company. I started with about 20 images or so as fodder for Stable Diffusion’s algorithm. Use Cases for Stable Diffusionįor me, this was a fun experiment, but we see a number of different ways this set up could be used both individually and for businesses. Sounds cool, right? But what if I also had a bunch more pictures in Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage? Could I do the same thing to create art, graphics, branded images, and more, from my content in the cloud? The answer is a resounding YES. The most common use case for this was taking advantage of AI to create art from a model based on your own face.

I found several examples of how to use Stable Diffusion with your own images like this one and this one. Kicking the Stable Diffusion TiresĪfter playing with an online instance of Stable Diffusion, I sought out content on some more ways to use the AI tool. Today, I’ll walk through how you can do just that using Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage. What makes Stable Diffusion so interesting is that it has been open sourced to allow anyone to create their own models for text-to-image generation. Stable Diffusion is one of the new text-to-image technologies popping up all over the internet that allows users to input words and phrases and get back amazing pictures created by its deep learning model. On the other side of that coin, there’s definitely a place for AI in the future of work and life. The technology has been wildly popular, but is not without controversy, raising questions about intellectual property, copyright law, artist disenfranchisement, possible displacement of jobs, and general fear over the rise of the machines. Naturally, we at Backblaze were intrigued by this brave new world of AI-generated content.
