stable-diffusion-webui
stable-diffusion-webui by AUTOMATIC1111 is the de facto standard local web interface for Stable Diffusion, providing a massive feature set—txt2img, img2img, inpainting/outpainting, upscaling, LoRA/embeddings support, training utilities, and a huge extension ecosystem—on top of consumer GPUs. If you’re doing any kind of image generation or fine-tuning with Stable Diffusion in a local or lab environment, this is usually the first tool people reach for and the one most community workflows target.

SynthID Detector: Identify content made with Google's AI tools
Google announces SynthID Detector, a web portal that lets you upload images, audio, video, or text generated with Google AI tools and automatically checks for imperceptible SynthID watermarks, highlighting which parts of the content are likely watermarked. For developers and media teams, it’s a turnkey authenticity check for content produced with models like Gemini, Imagen, Lyria, and Veo, designed to plug into editorial and trust-&-safety workflows.
