DreamStudio (v.1.4 and 2.0)
DreamStudio (v.1.4 and 2.0)
Stability addressed the details of accessing the Model via DreamStudio in its skeleton arguments by reference to v1.6. However, I did not understand there to be any significant difference between the use of DreamStudio as an access mechanism for users of v1.x, v2.x and v1.6. None was identified.
The web address for DreamStudio is beta.dreamstudio.ai. The ‘favicon’ is a hexagonal colour palette. The hexagonal colour palette is again repeated as a page logo in the top left of the screen next to a title ‘DreamStudio’ under which it reads ‘by stability.ai’.
In order to access the service, the average consumer/user needs to create an account and log in to that account. It requires an email sign-up and confirmation of a verification email sent by Stability to the user’s email account.
