SDXL-Turbo is a fast generative text-to-image model that can synthesize photorealistic images from a text prompt in a single network evaluation. A real-time demo is available here: http://clipdrop.co/stable-diffusion-turbo

Key Takeaways:

• SDXL Turbo achieves state-of-the-art performance with a new distillation technology, enabling single-step image generation with unprecedented quality, reducing the required step count from 50 to just one.

• See our research paper for specific technical details regarding the model’s new distillation technique that leverages a combination of adversarial training and score distillation.

• Download the model weights and code on Hugging Face, currently being released under a non-commercial research license that permits personal, non-commercial use.

• Test SDXL Turbo on Stability AI’s image editing platform Clipdrop, with a beta demonstration of the real-time text-to-image generation capabilities
