Stable Diffusion has quickly become the preferred image generator for people deeply interested in the world of artificial intelligence-generated visual art. The powerful software’s flexibility, high compatibility with emerging technologies, and ability to run locally have earned it a privileged spot among AI enthusiasts.

Most implementations are optimized for Windows, however, given that graphics card maker Nvidia currently dominates the AI space, and their GPUs, and libraries don’t run on Apple hardware.

Additionally, Apple is very restrictive in maintaining control over its products—both hardware and software. As the InvokeAI team explains, Apple’s CoreML models “require a specific implementation of Stable Diffusion that Apple has created.” This leaves users having to choose between efficient but limited implementations, or slower but more flexible options. 

But in the same way that there are workarounds for high-powered gaming on a Mac, there are ways to run Stable Diffusion—especially its new and powerful SDXL model. Here are some of the best Stable Diffusion implementations for Apple Silicon Mac users, tailored to a mix of needs and goals.
