All those 'kazillion' images are processed into a single 'model'. Similar to how our brain cannot remember 100% of all our experiences, this model will not store precise copies of all images it is trained off of. However, it will understand concepts, such as what a unicorn looks like.

For StableDiffusion, the current model is ~4GB, which is downloaded the first time you run the model. These 4GB encode all the information that the model requires to derive your images.
