Stability AI, the AI startup behind the text-to-image model Stable Diffusion, this week announced the release of StableStudio, an open source version of DreamStudio, Stability AI’s commercial AI-powered design suite.

In a blog post, Stability AI writes that it hopes to “foster a project [that] can outpace anything developed by a single company,” alluding to recent investments in the generative AI space from tech giants like Microsoft, Google and Amazon.

“We believe the best way to expand upon that impressive reach is through open, community-driven development rather than a private iteration of a closed-source product,” Stability AI said. “Our goal is to work with the broader community to create a world-class user interface for generative AI [that] users fully control.”

A pair of harvesting robots are picking raspberries in Portugal, demonstrating the ability of tech to help combat seasonal labor shortages.

Sea of Green is a marijuana growing method in which numerous little plants are produced in close proximity per square meter of area. The advantage of developing this way is that plants spend less time in the vegetation stage while still creating as many bud sites per area volume. Buds mature faster in SOG, resulting in an additional yield yearly.

Furthermore, clones are typically used in SOG. This guarantees that all of the plants have the same characteristics (growing speed and height.) and that your SOG grows to have a lovely even canopy. You can also grow weed seeds for sale; however, only seeds from the same strain should be used. Avoid tall, lanky Sativa if possible. Also, keep your plants at the same level beneath your grow lights to maintain consistent development.
