After a series of executive resignations and controversies over who deserves credit for its achievements, some people are questioning the future of Stable Diffusion operator Stability AI. Bloomberg reported that time may be running out for Stability AI to prove itself as a professional company before newer, more powerful foundation models outpace its work.

“Stability AI is in the innovation business, and we are well aware that any time a new path is taken in any field, there will be critics and skeptics. That reality is no different for the field of generative AI, which has taken the world by storm because of its potential to be the greatest disruptor of our time,” Stability AI said in a statement to The Verge.
