So StableStudio is just a plugin-extendable user interface for interacting with an image generation model (e.g. via queries against some opaque remote endpoint) , but does not provide the actual image generation model?

So the actually interesting meat is not part of the offer?

Don't discount the value (or difficulty) of a great user interface

There are multiple servers that provide the backend "meat" already: gyre.ai (my personal project); Automatic1111 webui; InvokeAI; plus all the hosted APIs to name just a few.

There are no UI interfaces I'd consider great. I think Flying Dog aistudio[1] is the best (although I'm biased), but still early days. The UI part of WebUI is ... functional(ish).

DreamStudio / StableStudio is super basic in capability at the moment, but it's a space with tons of room for improvement.
