Stable Diffusion with Core ML on Apple Silicon
ml-stable-diffusion is an open-source image project by apple-aiml-research (apple-aiml-research/ml-stable-diffusion on GitHub). It has 17,968 GitHub stars and 1,081 forks, is released under the MIT license, and was last updated on GitHub on 11 September 2026.
Generation studio, upscaler, background remover, or photo library — match the tool to the task.
Desktop apps, Docker images, and portable builds cover most platforms; pick the simplest for your OS.
Generation tools need checkpoint files; utilities like upscalers usually bundle everything.
Generate, enhance, or import — then export, share, or keep building your library.
Bring any compatible open checkpoint; you are never locked to one vendor's style.
Your images stay on your machine — important for client work and privacy.
The defining trait of this whole category: professional results without monthly fees.
Edits stay reversible; originals are never touched.
Run whole folders through upscalers and converters unattended.
Extensions, scripts, and community presets extend the popular studios far beyond stock.

# see README for the exact launch commandIt is an open-source project at apple-aiml-research/ml-stable-diffusion with 1,081 forks. Check the repo's contributors and recent commits to see how active maintenance is.
MIT licensed — use it commercially, no strings attached.
Generation benefits hugely from one; upscalers and photo managers are far lighter.
For generation: a polished studio interface. For enhancement: a dedicated upscaler. For libraries: a photo manager.
With the right open checkpoints, absolutely — the interface matters less than the model you load.
