Abstract

Disco diffusion is an open-source AI painting creation project born in 2021. It is composed of more than 2600 lines of multi code ipynb files. In most cases, it relies on the Google colab. Compared with other AI art creation projects, its unconditional openness and stronger expansibility have aroused the interest of art and computer enthusiasts.
