ControlNet (SD 3.5 Large) Canny

Open weights Stability AI November 2024

No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

This model's weights are open, but no parameter count has been published for it. Every memory and speed figure starts from that number, so we would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What the numbers mean

About this model

ControlNet (SD 3.5 Large) Canny was published by Stability AI, in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in November 2024. The organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in Image generation, and is recorded as doing image-to-image, Image generation.

Its starting point was Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large — most models at this scale are adapted from an existing base rather than built from nothing.

The weights being open is what puts this page in the calculator rather than only in the catalogue: it is a model you can actually hold. It is published under the stabilityai organisation on Hugging Face.

Answers

ControlNet (SD 3.5 Large) Canny — common questions

01

How many parameters does ControlNet (SD 3.5 Large) Canny have?

No parameter count has been published for ControlNet (SD 3.5 Large) Canny, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

02

Who created ControlNet (SD 3.5 Large) Canny?

ControlNet (SD 3.5 Large) Canny was published by Stability AI, based in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, categorised as industry.

03

When was ControlNet (SD 3.5 Large) Canny released?

ControlNet (SD 3.5 Large) Canny was published in November 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

04

What is ControlNet (SD 3.5 Large) Canny used for?

ControlNet (SD 3.5 Large) Canny works in Image generation, and is recorded as handling image-to-image, Image generation. A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.

05

Where can I download ControlNet (SD 3.5 Large) Canny?

Its weights are published under the stabilityai organisation on Hugging Face. We do not host model files — this site calculates what hardware is needed to run them.

06

What GPU do I need to run ControlNet (SD 3.5 Large) Canny?

We cannot say. ControlNet (SD 3.5 Large) Canny has open weights, but no parameter count has been published for it, and every memory and speed calculation starts from that number. We would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.

07

Is ControlNet (SD 3.5 Large) Canny open source?

Its weights are published, so ControlNet (SD 3.5 Large) Canny can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.
