Stable Diffusion 3 (SD3) is the latest text-to-image model from Stability AI, launched on June 12th, 2024. It builds upon the success of its predecessor, SDXL, and offers enhanced capabilities for transforming text into images.

Important Download Information: ComfyUI supports SD3, so ensure you have the latest version. As of the morning of June 12th, 2024, Automatic1111 WebUI does not yet support SD3, but it’s expected to within a week.

When choosing your SD3 checkpoint, consider:

sd3_medium.safetensors includes MMDiT and VAE weights but not text encoders.
sd3_medium_incl_clips_t5xxlfp8.safetensors contains all necessary weights, including the fp8 version of the T5XXL text encoder.
sd3_medium_incl_clips.safetensors includes all necessary weights except for the T5XXL text encoder.
Creating Images with SD3: Once you have the necessary files, you can start creating images using pre-made ComfyUI workflows.

License and Training: Be sure to review the license considerations before using SD3. If you’re interested in training the model further, resources are available for that purpose.
