# Stability AI

> Use Stability AI's Stable Diffusion models for image generation through Portkey.

## Quick Start

Get started with Stability AI in under 2 minutes:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  # 1. Install: pip install portkey-ai
  # 2. Add @stability-ai provider in model catalog
  # 3. Use it:

  portkey = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY")

  image = portkey.images.generate(
      model="@stability-ai/stable-diffusion-v1-6",
      prompt="A serene landscape with mountains",
      size="1024x1024"
  )

  print(image.data[0].url)
  ```

  ```js Javascript icon="square-js" theme={"system"}
  import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

  // 1. Install: npm install portkey-ai
  // 2. Add @stability-ai provider in model catalog
  // 3. Use it:

  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY"
  })

  const image = await portkey.images.generate({
      model: "@stability-ai/stable-diffusion-v1-6",
      prompt: "A serene landscape with mountains",
      size: "1024x1024"
  })

  console.log(image.data[0].url)
  ```

  ```python OpenAI Py icon="python" theme={"system"}
  from openai import OpenAI
  from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL

  # 1. Install: pip install openai portkey-ai
  # 2. Add @stability-ai provider in model catalog
  # 3. Use it:

  client = OpenAI(
      api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Portkey API key
      base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
  )

  image = client.images.generate(
      model="@stability-ai/stable-diffusion-v1-6",
      prompt="A serene landscape with mountains",
      size="1024x1024"
  )

  print(image.data[0].url)
  ```

  ```js OpenAI JS icon="square-js" theme={"system"}
  import OpenAI from "openai"
  import { PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL } from "portkey-ai"

  // 1. Install: npm install openai portkey-ai
  // 2. Add @stability-ai provider in model catalog
  // 3. Use it:

  const client = new OpenAI({
      apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",  // Portkey API key
      baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
  })

  const image = await client.images.generate({
      model: "@stability-ai/stable-diffusion-v1-6",
      prompt: "A serene landscape with mountains",
      size: "1024x1024"
  })

  console.log(image.data[0].url)
  ```

  ```bash cURL icon="square-terminal" theme={"system"}
  # 1. Add @stability-ai provider in model catalog
  # 2. Use it:

  curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/images/generations \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
    -d '{
      "model": "@stability-ai/stable-diffusion-v1-6",
      "prompt": "A serene landscape with mountains",
      "size": "1024x1024"
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  **Tip:** You can also set `provider="@stability-ai"` in `Portkey()` and use just `model="stable-diffusion-v1-6"` in the request.
</Note>

## Add Provider in Model Catalog

Before making requests, add Stability AI to your Model Catalog:

1. Go to [**Model Catalog → Add Provider**](https://app.portkey.ai/model-catalog/providers)
2. Select **Stability AI**
3. Enter your [Stability AI API key](https://platform.stability.ai/account/keys)
4. Name your provider (e.g., `stability-ai`)

## Image Generation

Generate high-quality images with Stable Diffusion:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  from portkey_ai import Portkey

  portkey = Portkey(api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY", provider="@stability-ai")

  image = portkey.images.generate(
    model="stable-diffusion-v1-6",
      prompt="A serene landscape with mountains and a lake at sunset",
    size="1024x1024"
  )

  print(image.data[0].url)
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"system"}
  import Portkey from 'portkey-ai';

  const portkey = new Portkey({
      apiKey: 'PORTKEY_API_KEY',
      provider: '@stability-ai'
  });

  const image = await portkey.images.generate({
      model: "stable-diffusion-v1-6",
      prompt: "A serene landscape with mountains and a lake at sunset",
      size: "1024x1024"
  });

  console.log(image.data[0].url);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  Portkey uses the OpenAI image generation signature for Stability AI, allowing you to easily switch between providers.
