Alibaba Cloud AI Containers (AC2) provides Stable Diffusion (SD) series images for text-to-image generation. Each SD image includes all dependencies required to run SD models—the Python runtime environment, deep learning frameworks, and dependency libraries—so models run consistently across environments.
SD series images do not include large model weight files. Download the model weights separately before starting the container.
SD series images expose external services through a web UI and can serve as base images for custom service deployments.
Images
SD series images are runtime environment images. They include only the software stack required to run the models: system components and Python dependencies.
