What changed
Stable Diffusion 3.5 improves prompt adherence, typography and variety. It runs on consumer GPUs, which keeps local workflows alive.
Where it wins
You own the pipeline: fine-tune, use LoRAs and ControlNets, and keep everything private. No other top model offers that freedom.
- Free to run locally
- Huge community of LoRAs
- Full ControlNet support
Where it lags
Out-of-the-box aesthetics trail Midjourney, and setup takes time if you are new to ComfyUI.

Great explanation of the differences. The comparison really helped me decide.
