Stable Attribution
Art

Stable Attribution was developed by Chroma, a start-up that specializes in making AI understandable by analyzing how the training data affects the model's behavior. The tool currently supports images generated by Stable Diffusion, a popular text-to-image model that uses a large dataset of images and captions scraped from the web. Stable Attribution's algorithm decodes the generated image and compares it with the indexed dataset to find the most influential images, based on visual similarity and details.
Stable Attribution is currently in beta and invites users to try it out and join their Discord community. They also provide a FAQ section that answers common questions about their tool, their motivation, and their vision for the future of AI and art.
