Artificial intelligence startup Stability AI is releasing a new model for generating images that it says can produce pictures that look more realistic than past efforts.

In a blog post Thursday, Stability AI, which popularized the Stable Diffusion image generator, calls the new model SDXL 0.9, short for for Stable Diffusion XL. Stability says the model can create images in response to text-based prompts that are better looking and have more compositional detail than a model called SDXL, which it introduced in April.
