7/10 CNET Score
If you've heard of AI image generation, you've probably heard of Stable Diffusion. Named for a family of AI creative models, the original Stable Diffusion model was released in 2022 as the result of a collaboration between researchers from Stability AI, Runway and the University of Munich, with support from European AI research and data nonprofits. It quickly found a loyal fanbase of AI enthusiasts who compared it to its main competitor at the time, Midjourney. In the years since its initial launch, tech giants including OpenAI, Adobe and Canva have all released their own popular AI image models.
But Stable Diffusion models have one key difference from all the others: They're open source.
Open-source AI models let anyone take a peek behind the scenes at how the model works and adapt them to their own purposes. That means there are a lot of different ways to use Stable Diffusion models. I'm not a coding wizard, so I opted not to license or download the models to run locally on my computer. A quick Google search brought up a lot of websites that host SD models, but I wanted the true Stable Diffusion experience. That led me to DreamStudio and Stable Assistant. Both of these are freemium web apps by Stability AI that let you easily create AI images, and I used both. Ultimately, I preferred Stable Assistant, but my experience using both programs showed me why Stable Diffusion models have stayed a household name, even as the people behind the models have had a rocky path.
The images I created with Stability AI were creative and detailed. Where the company shines is in its editing capabilities. Stable Assistant has the most comprehensive, hands-on editing suite of any AI image generator I've tested, without the overwhelming, overly detailed nature of a Photoshop-like professional program. The Stable Image Ultra model is artistically capable, like Midjourney and Leonardo.Ai. If you're trying to decide between the three competitors, it's probably going to come down to cost and potential commercialization requirements.
Stable Assistant is great for people who need to produce a lot of AI imagery quickly and for amateur creators looking to level up their skills and refine their design ideas. DreamStudio will remind you of a more traditional AI image generator, great for budget-conscious, occasional AI creators. For professional creators, Stable Diffusion models are capable, but businesses will need to worry about licensing requirements.
Here's how the newest Stable Diffusion model, Stable Image Ultra, held up in my tests, including how well it matched my prompts, response speed and creativity.
How CNET tests AI image generators
CNET takes a practical approach to reviewing AI image generators. Our goal is to determine how good it is relative to the competition and which purposes it serves best. To do that, we give the AI prompts based on real-world use cases, such as rendering in a particular style, combining elements into a single image and handling lengthier descriptions. We score the image generators on a 10-point scale that considers factors such as how well images match prompts, creativity of results and response speed. See how we test AI for more.
The easiest way to access Stable Diffusion models is through Stability AI's Stable Assistant and DreamStudio. After a free three-day trial, there are four subscription options for Stable Assistant: Standard ($9 a month for 900 credits), pro ($19 a month for 1,900 credits), plus ($49 a month for 5,500 credits) and premium ($99 a month for 12,000 credits). I used the lowest tier, and after generating 75 images, I still had about 418 credits left. You also get access to Stability's AI video, 3D model and audio models with these plans.
You can also access Stable Diffusion models using DreamStudio. You can initially play around with 100 free credits, then you'll need to upgrade. You can get the basic plan for $12 a month (1,200 credits) or the plus plan for $29 a month (2,900 credits).
Stability AI can use the information and files you provide in your prompts (inputs) and the results it generates (outputs) for training its AI, as outlined in the terms of service and privacy policy. You can opt out in Stable Assistant by going to Profile > Settings > Disable training and history. In Dream Studio, you can go Settings > User preferences > Training: Improve model for everyone and toggle that off. You can learn more about opting out in Stability's privacy center.
How good are the images, and how well do they match prompts?
Stability was able to create a variety of images in many different styles. I created dramatic fantasy scenes, cute cartoon dinosaurs and photorealistic forest landscapes, all of which the program handled well. It reminded me a lot of the quality of other art-centric AI programs like Midjourney and Leonardo.Ai -- finely detailed and creative. It had decent prompt adherence, which means it produced the images I asked for.
This is one of my favorite Stability AI images. My prompt was inspired by the song Doomsday by Lizzie McAlpine.

Like a lot of AI companies, Stability struggles with coherent text generation. Even telling Stable Assistant exactly what words I wanted to appear on the image couldn't get them to always populate correctly. DreamStudio was better, but the text was still childlike and didn't match the images' aesthetic.
Stability also produced some of the most convincing AI images of products I've seen, second only to OpenAI. I asked Stability to create stock imagery for an iPhone, a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses and a Hydroflask water bottle, and the results were surprisingly realistic.
If you don't look too closely, these all look like they could be on each retailer's website.

Requests for brand names, logos and celebrities' likenesses are typically shot down by AI image generators since they're protected content or sometimes go against a company's AI usage guidelines. I asked the chatbot if it was allowed to create brand names and logos. It replied: "I can create images that resemble well-known products and logos, but I cannot create exact replicas of copyrighted or trademarked materials."
I was surprised not just to have my prompts with brand names go ahead, but for the results to be so good. One reason it may be able to produce these results is because of its training data and processes. Like the majority of AI companies, Stability's training datasets aren't public. Stability is currently being sued in a class action lawsuit where artists allege the company is infringing on their copyrighted work. Getty Images is also suing Stability, alleging that the company used 12 million photos from its collection without permission or payment. I strongly advise you not to create AI images that could potentially infringe on copyrighted material or replicate a real person's likeness.
How engaging are the images?
The images were engaging and often colorfully vivid. Using the upscaling tool was helpful for refining small details and making images more engaging. Images made with Stable Assistant and DreamStudio aren't watermarked, so make sure you disclose their AI origins when you share them.
Can you fine-tune results?
The best part of using Stability is its many editing tools. Its chatbot Stable Assistant has the most editing controls of any AI creative program I've tested, which is saying something. All the usual suspects were present in Stable Assistant and DreamStudio, including the ability to add, remove and replace objects and the image's background. You also have two ways to upscale to higher resolutions, which is great. But where Stable Assistant goes above and beyond is with its additional editing toolkit, which lets you recolor specific objects and create similar variations based on your image's structure or style. Plus you can apply a new style.
I used the search and recolor tool to create different variations of iris and eyeliner color from the same base image (left).

You can also just send follow-up editing requests in a regular message, like with OpenAI's conversational image generators. You can also use your AI image as a base for a new AI video or 3D model, a nice perk that's icing on the cake.
Speaking of icing, it's worth noting that Stable Assistant's chat-to-edit function was hit-or-miss. This doesn't matter as much with other tools available to help tweak your images, but this example of a vanilla-and-chocolate cake illustrates how it can mess up.
Stability and I have different definitions of what constitutes icing.

I always encourage people to use style references when they have the chance, and Stability's was decent.
You can see how Stable Assistant maintained the color scheme and general vibe of my original photo (left) when I asked for a new image of a couple on a lake (right).

But if you're looking to AI-ify an image or use AI to change the style of an existing image, you're out of luck.
All I wanted was a cartoon version of this guacamole snap I took. Instead, Stability gave me a new version of my previous prompt asking for a forest. Why it made the deer out of tortilla chips, I don't know.
Created by Katelyn Chedraoui using Stability AI
With so many editing tools, I was initially worried about a quantity-over-quality issue. I got every tool to work at some point, but there were times when the features lacked the specificity and fine-detailed scale I would expect from a more professional program. Like with any AI service, the best way to take advantage of the many editing tools it offers is to spend some time with all of them. It's a learning curve, figuring out what tools will work best in what scenario. For me, playing around with Stability's editing tools was the best part of my reviewing process.
How fast do images arrive?
Stability was relatively quick, popping out images in 30 to 60 seconds. Stable Assistant only generates one image per prompt, which definitely helps speed things up. DreamStudio lets you generate up to four images at a time. I prefer when AI image generators give me multiple variations, so DreamStudio was great for that.
Dramatic ballerinas are one of my favorite tests for AI image generators, and Stability succeeded.

I'm impressed with Stable Diffusion. But I still have concerns
Overall, I was impressed with the creativity, detail and speed of the AI images Stability produced. Stability's raw AI images weren't immune to the hallucinations and errors that plague AI images. There are definitely things I wouldn't use Stability for, like text-heavy imagery. But the sign of a great AI image generator is whether the program offers you tools to fix those mistakes. This is where Stability shines, especially in Stable Assistant, and its editing suite clearly outpaces the competition.
But I'm not without concerns. First, it was ridiculously confusing to figure out the best way to use the Stable Diffusion models, whether through Stable Assistant, DreamStudio or third-party platforms. A lot of the user interface settings I wanted in Stable Assistant were available in DreamStudio (like a main library and the ability to select what AI model you wanted to use). But DreamStudio doesn't have all of the editing tools that I enjoyed and used in Stable Assistant. I'm also concerned that the most recent AI SD model underlying both programs, Stable Image Ultra, is a little too good at recognizing and replicating brand-name characters, logos and products.
In the future, I would love to see Stability AI more clearly address the differences between Stable Assistant and DreamStudio. I also think future model updates can learn some from OpenAI about legible text generation in AI images. These simple changes would take the frustration out of using what is ultimately a capable AI creative system.

As Tariff Price Hikes Loom, I've Been Watching 11 Key Products for Changes
Price hikes resulting from Trump's tariffs could be closer than ever. James Martin/CNET I've keeping daily tabs on several popular products over the last few months, watching for price hikes that are likely to result from Donald Trump's wide-ranging tariff plans. Given the president's recent claim that the 90-day pause on his steepest tariffs -- set to end on July 9 -- won't be extended, price hikes are now looking as likely as they ever have. For the most part, prices for these 11 items have remained steady in the last few weeks, aside from notable increases for the Xbox Series X and a budget-friendly 4K TV. A few have also gone on sale for brief periods, but as of now, they've all mostly reverted back to normal -- though you should expect the sale prices to return as Prime Day approaches in July, a good time overall to make purchases that might get more expensive later. With all that said, the broader impact of these import taxes is still on the horizon, especially as Trump now claims that tariff rates against China are going back up to 55% soon. The Trump administration has also been working to undo a trade court ruling, which found that Trump has no authority to set tariffs as he has been -- a move now being argued before an appeals court. We'll see how that ultimately plays out, but for now, the possibility that the president's tariff policies will lead to price hikes remains likely. CNET Tariff Tracker Index Above, you can check out a chart with the average price of the 11 products included in this piece over the course of 2025. This will help give you a sense of the overall price changes and fluctuations going on. Further down, you'll be able to check out charts for each individual product being tracked. We'll be updating this article regularly as prices change. It's all in the name of helping you make sense of things, so be sure to check back every so often. For more, check out CNET's guide to whether you should wait to make big purchases or buy them now and get expert tips about how to prepare for a recession. Watch this: Should You Buy Now or Wait? Our Experts Weigh In on Tariffs 09:42 Methodology We're checking prices daily and will update the article and the relevant charts right away to reflect any changes. The following charts show a single bullet point for each month, with the most recent one labeled "Now" and showing the current price. For the past months, we've gone with what was the most common price for each item in the given month. In most cases, the price stats used in these graphs were pulled from Amazon using the historical price-tracker tool Keepa. For the iPhones, the prices come from Apple's official materials and are based on the 128-gigabyte base model of the latest offering of the iPhone 16. For the Xbox Series X, the prices were sourced from Best Buy using the tool PriceTracker. If any of these products happen to be on sale at a given time, we'll be sure to let you know and explain how those price drops differ from longer-term pricing trends that tariffs can cause. The 11 products we're tracking Mostly what we're tracking in this article are electronic devices and digital items that CNET covers in depth, like iPhones and affordable 4K TVs -- along with a typical bag of coffee, a more humble product that isn't produced in the US to any significant degree. The products featured were chosen for a few reasons: Some of them are popular and/or affordable representatives for major consumer tech categories, like smartphones, TVs and game consoles. Others are meant to represent things that consumers might buy more frequently, like printer ink or coffee beans. Some products were chosen over others because they are likely more susceptible to tariffs. Some of these products have been reviewed by CNET or have been featured in some of our best lists. Below, we'll get into more about each individual product, and stick around till the end for a rundown of some other products worth noting. iPhone 16 The iPhone is the most popular smartphone brand in the US, so this was a clear priority for price tracking. The iPhone has also emerged as a major focal point for conversations about tariffs, given its popularity and its susceptibility to import taxes because of its overseas production, largely in China. Trump has reportedly been fixated on the idea that the iPhone can and should be manufactured in the US, an idea that experts have dismissed as a fantasy. Estimates have also suggested that a US-made iPhone would cost as much as $3,500. Something to note about this graph: The price listed is the one you'll see if you buy your phone through a major carrier. If you, say, buy direct from Apple or Best Buy without a carrier involved, you'll be charged an extra $30, so in some places, you might see the list price of the standard iPhone 16 listed as $830. Apple's been taking a few steps to protect its prices in the face of these tariffs, flying in bulk shipments of product before they took effect and planning to move production for the US market from China to India. A new Reuters report found that a staggering 97% of iPhones imported from the latter country, March through May, were bound for the US. This latter move drew the anger of Trump again, threatening the company with a 25% tariff if they didn't move production to the US, an idea CEO Tim Cook has repeatedly shot down in the past. This came after Trump gave a tariff exemption to electronic devices including smartphones, so the future of that move seems in doubt now. Apple's flagship device is still the top-selling smartphone globally, as of Q1 of this year, although new research from the firm Counterpoint suggests that tariff uncertainty will cause the brand's growth to stall a bit throughout the rest of 2025. Duracell AA batteries A lot of the tech products in your home might boast a rechargeable energy source but individual batteries are still an everyday essential and I can tell you from experience that as soon as you forget about them, you'll be needing to restock. The Duracell AAs we're tracking are some of the bestselling batteries on Amazon. Samsung DU7200 TV Alongside smartphones, televisions are some of the most popular tech products out there, even if they're an infrequent purchase. This particular product is a popular entry-level 4K TV and was CNET's pick for best overall budget TV for 2025. Unlike a lot of tech products that have key supply lines in China, Samsung is a South Korean company, so it might have some measure of tariff resistance. This model was most recently listed on Amazon at $419.55, up from the $400 price tag it's hovered around for most of the year. Xbox Series X Video game software and hardware are a market segment expected to be hit hard by the Trump tariffs. Microsoft's Xbox is the first console brand to see price hikes -- the company cited "market conditions" along with the rising cost of development. Most notably, this included an increase in the price of the flagship Xbox Series X, up from $500 to $600. Numerous Xbox accessories also were affected and the company also said that "certain" games will eventually see a price hike from $70 to $80. Initially, we were tracking the price of the much more popular Nintendo Switch as a representative of the gaming market. Nintendo has not yet hiked the price of its handheld-console hybrid and stressed that the $450 price tag of the upcoming Switch 2 has not yet been inflated because of tariffs. Sony, meanwhile, has so far only increased prices on its PlayStation hardware in markets outside the US. AirPods Pro 2 The latest iteration of Apple's wildly popular true-wireless earbuds are here to represent the headphone market. Much to the chagrin of the audiophiles out there, a quick look at sales charts on Amazon shows you just how much the brand dominates all headphone sales. For most of the year, they've hovered around $199, which is a notable savings on its list price of $249. HP 962 CMY printer ink This HP printer ink includes cyan, magenta and yellow all in one product and recently saw its price jump from around $72 -- where it stayed for most of 2025 -- to $80, which is around its highest price over the last five years. We will be keeping tabs to see if this is a long-term change or a brief uptick. This product replaced Overture PLA Filament for 3D printers in this piece, but we're still tracking that item. Anker 10,000-mAh, 30-watt power bank Anker's accessories are perennially popular in the tech space and the company has already announced that some of its products will get more expensive as a direct result of tariffs. This specific product has also been featured in some of CNET's lists of the best portable chargers. Bose TV speaker Soundbars have become important purchases, given the often iffy quality of the speakers built into TVs. While not the biggest or the best offering in the space, the Bose TV Speaker is one of the more affordable soundbar options out there, especially hailing from a brand as popular as Bose. Oral-B Pro 1000 electric toothbrush They might be a lot more expensive than their traditional counterparts but electric toothbrushes remain a popular choice for consumers because of how well they get the job done. I know my dentist won't let up on how much I need one. This particular Oral-B offering was CNET's overall choice for the best electric toothbrush for 2025. Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Lenovo is notable among the big laptop manufacturers for being a Chinese company making its products especially susceptible to Trump's tariffs. Starbucks Ground Coffee (28-ounce bag) Coffee is included in this tracker because of its ubiquity -- I'm certainly drinking too much of it these days -- and because it's uniquely susceptible to Trump's tariff agenda. Famously, coffee beans can only be grown within a certain distance from Earth's equator, a tropical span largely outside the US and known as the "Coffee Belt." Hawaii is the only part of the US that can produce coffee beans, with data from USAFacts showing that 11.5 million pounds were harvested there in the 2022-23 season -- little more than a drop in the mug, as the US consumed 282 times that amount of coffee during that period. Making matters worse, Hawaiian coffee production has declined in the past few years. All that to say: Americans get almost all of their coffee from overseas, making it one of the most likely products to see price hikes from tariffs. Other products As mentioned, we occasionally swap out products with different ones that undergo notable price shifts. Here are some things no longer featured above, but that we're still keeping an eye on: Nintendo Switch: The baseline handheld-console hybrid has held steady around $299 most places -- including Amazon release of the Switch 2 remains to be seen. This product was replaced above with the Xbox Series X. release of the Switch 2 remains to be seen. This product was replaced above with the Xbox Series X. Overture PLA 3D printer filament: This is a popular choice on Amazon Here are some products we also wanted to single out that haven't been featured with a graph yet: Razer Blade 18 (2025), 5070 Ti edition: The latest revision of Razer's largest gaming laptop saw a $300 price bump recently, with the base model featured an RTX 5070 Ti graphics card now priced at $3,500 ahead of launch, compared to the $3,200 price announced in February. While Razer has stayed mum about the reasoning, it did previously suspend direct sales to the US as Trump's tariff plans were ramping up in April. Asus ROG Ally X: The premium version of Asus's Steam Deck competitor handheld gaming PC recently saw a price hike from $799 to $899, coinciding with the announcement of the company's upcoming Xbox-branded Ally handhelds.

I Finally Tried the Nothing Phone 3 and There's a Lot I Like
After months of rumors and teases, the Nothing Phone 3 has finally been unveiled at a Tuesday launch event in London. Nothing is calling the phone its "first true flagship" and with good reason; the Phone 3 has higher specs and other quirky new features (like the Glyph Matrix) that set it apart from its cheaper siblings. I got to spend some time using the phone at the launch and while it was only a quick look, I'm already quite impressed. The Nothing Phone 3 will go on sale next week in the US from $799 and in the UK and wider Europe from £799. That's not a bad price when other flagships like Google's Pixel 9 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus tend to start at $999 or more. Here's what I like so far about the phone. Nothing Phone 3 Glyph Matrix Nothing's phones have always had quirky designs with see-through panels and the light-up Glyph interface but this time around the company has swapped the lights for a small dot-matrix display. The Glyph Matrix, as Nothing calls it, sits on the back of the phone and can display crucial info like battery level or incoming notifications but can also be used for more fun purposes. From a 'spin the bottle' tool to a Magic 8 Ball function, there are various 'Glyph Toys' on board, with developers being welcomed to create more. Andrew Lanxon/CNET I like the Glyph Matrix and CNET's Katie Collins described it as her favorite thing about the Nothing Phone 3. It's more usable than the lights on the previous Nothing Phone 2 as it actually tells you information, rather than just lighting up at random. Playing little mini games on a tiny screen on the back of your phone is still arguably something of a gimmick but in a world full of almost identical gray phones, it's nice to see something a bit quirky. Ditto the transparent design, which has become something of a hallmark of Nothing's phones. This time around the 'inside' of the phone has been given more of a blocky, cubist style that sort of reminds me of the Bauhaus art movement. I'm here for it. Nothing Phone 3: Snapdragon processor and triple camera array Nothing hasn't skimped on the specs with its flagship. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8S Gen 4 processor should offer some potent performance for everyday use as well as more demanding gaming. I'm yet to put it to use but I expect it to handle graphically demanding games like Genshin Impact with aplomb. Meanwhile, the rear of the phone is home to a triple camera array featuring the standard lineup of main lens, ultrawide and telephoto zoom. All three cameras have 50 megapixels of resolution, which is the same resolution as the standard and ultrawide cameras found on the Nothing Phone 2 but the company promises significant improvements in image processing that should hopefully result in better-looking shots. Another 50-megapixel camera is located on the front display for self-taken photos and video calls, which is a big step up from the 32-megapixel camera on the Nothing Phone 2. The Nothing Phone 3 has a 6.67-inch display. Andrew Lanxon/CNET I'm looking forward to seeing how these cameras perform; camera performance is one of the key ways top-end phones like the iPhone 16 Pro and Galaxy S25 Ultra differentiate themselves and if Nothing truly wants to compete in the elite arena, it needs to offer stellar imaging skills. One thing that has me excited is the inclusion of various color profiles, along with numerous more available to download. I loved the filmic vibes I got from the Nothing Phone 3A in Barcelona earlier this year and being able to create similar looks in Samsung's phones was a boon for me as a photographer. I'm keen to see how Nothing's compares. Nothing Phone 3 other specs and features Beyond the fancy Glyph Matrix and the cameras, the phone has a solid lineup of specs. The 6.67-inch display has a high resolution, the 5,150mAh Silicon-carbon battery promises a full day of use while the 65W fast charging will take it from empty to half full in just 19 minutes. It's also IP68 rated for water and dust resistance so taking calls in the rain should be no problem. Andrew Lanxon/CNET It also comes with various AI tools sprinkled throughout, including Nothing's Essential Space that it launched with the Phone 3A earlier this year. The Essential Space is basically a repository for your voice notes and screen shots you take throughout the day that strives to give you some order to your mind clutter. I sort of think of it like a journalling tool. Nothing is building AI deeper into Essential Space, as well as providing more functionality over the coming months so I'm keen to see how useful this tool becomes. The phone launches with Android 15 on board, although Nothing says the phone will be updated to Android 16 later this year. The phone will receive four years of software updates and seven years of total security updates meaning this phone should still be safe to use in 2032 -- although there's still a lot you can do to make your phone last this long. Nothing Phone 3: Is it any good? I've only spent a short time using the phone but I'm quite charmed by the Glyph Matrix and the classic Nothing design. If Nothing really wants to play in the elite leagues then it needs to offer top-end performance from the processor and the cameras. I'll be testing the phone rigorously over the coming days to really understand what this phone is like to live with. But if it performs as well as Nothing boasts then it might be a solid option at a price that's more reasonable than most of its flagship rivals.
