Stable Diffusion power without the setup headache
Self-hosted Stable Diffusion offers maximum control — and maximum maintenance. DreamBees Lite gives you local generation with a polished UI, while Architect and cloud boost handle heavy runs when your GPU is not enough.

Frequently asked questions
- Does DreamBees use Stable Diffusion models?
- Yes. DreamBees supports SDXL, Anima, and compatible checkpoints locally and in the cloud.
- Can I still self-host with DreamBees?
- DreamBees Lite runs models locally on your machine. For full custom pipelines, ComfyUI remains an option — many creators use both.
- Is DreamBees faster than local Stable Diffusion?
- Locally, performance depends on your GPU. Cloud boost on Architect tier uses dedicated GPUs for production-speed generation.
