SDXL Beta 0.9 offers a preview to the largest open source image model from Stability AI. SDXL produces high resolution images at native 1024px resolution. With SDXL Beta 0.9, Stability introduces a brand new 2-stage architecture for image generative AI models, and integrates the largest CLIP model. The result: stunning quality in image generation with minimal need for prompt engineering.
Highlights
The foundation model for images: All text to image, image to image, inpainting, and outpainting workflows are handled by the official SDXL model. SDXL introduces a new SOTA architecture for image generation, comprising a 3.5B parameter base model stage and a 6.6B parameter ensemble pipeline.
Unprecedented quality and ease of use: Native 1024x1024 image generation with cinematic photorealism and fine detail. The most advanced text generation within images. Fine-tuned to create complex compositions with basic natural language prompting, thanks to the largest CLIP model in production.
Beta: SDXL 0.9 is a beta version of SDXL 1.0. While it is a powerful image generation model, for increased professionalism in image output, consider using SDXL 1.0

This listing is free to use, so the dimensions reflect how you run the model rather than license fees. Four dimensions charge by host hour and differ by the compute instance you pick. One instance runs batch inference, where you process requests in groups. Three run real-time inference, which responds to requests as they arrive. Each instance type offers different compute and GPU capacity, so your choice scales cost with the hardware you select. A fifth dimension bills per inference request instead of by host hour, giving you a usage-based option tied to request volume.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one host hour for the instance-based dimensions?
A host hour is one hour of running time on the compute instance you deploy. Each instance type (ml.g4dn.12xlarge, ml.p4de.24xlarge, ml.p4d.24xlarge, ml.g5.2xlarge) carries its own hourly rate. Charges accrue while the instance runs, not by how many images you generate.
How does the per-request dimension differ from the host-hour dimensions?
Host-hour dimensions meter running time on a chosen instance, so cost follows how long the hardware stays active. The per-request dimension (inference.count.m.i.c) meters each inference call instead. Request-based billing tracks volume of calls; host-hour billing tracks active instance time regardless of request count.
Does the free pricing mean no cost at all to run this model?
The software itself is listed as free, so there are no license fees. You still pay the underlying compute cost per the host-hour or per-request dimensions shown. The vendor's own terms note self-hosting is free for organizations under $1M in annual revenue; larger commercial users should contact the vendor.

An Amazon SageMaker model package is a pre-trained machine learning model ready to use without additional training. Use the model package to create a model on Amazon SageMaker for real-time inference or batch processing. Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed platform for building, training, and deploying machine learning models at scale.
Deploy the model on Amazon SageMaker AI using the following options:
Real-time inference
Deploy the model as an API endpoint for your applications. When you send data to the endpoint, SageMaker processes it and returns results by API response. The endpoint runs continuously until you delete it. You're billed for software and SageMaker infrastructure costs while the endpoint runs. AWS Marketplace models don't support Amazon SageMaker Asynchronous Inference. For more information, see Deploy models for real-time inference .
Batch transform
Deploy the model to process batches of data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). SageMaker runs the job, processes your data, and returns results to Amazon S3. When complete, SageMaker stops the model. You're billed for software and SageMaker infrastructure costs only during the batch job. Duration depends on your model, instance type, and dataset size. AWS Marketplace models don't support Amazon SageMaker Asynchronous Inference. For more information, see Batch transform for inference with Amazon SageMaker AI .

Field name
Description
Constraints
Required
height
The height of the image in pixels. Must be a multiple of 64.
On p4d/p4de instances, resolutions values are unlocked and only limited by GPU memory.
On g5 instances, optimized native resolutions are limited to:
1024x1024
1152x896 / 896x1152
1216x832 / 832x1216
1344x768 / 768x1344
1536x640 / 640x1536
Lower resolutions than native will be cropped. Higher resolutions will result in an error.
Default value: 1024
