Description:

SDXL-Turbo, a distilled variant of SDXL 1.0, empowers real-time image synthesis via Adversarial Diffusion Distillation (ADD). ADD enables high-fidelity sampling from large-scale image diffusion models in 1-4 steps. Employing score distillation for leveraging teacher signals from pre-trained models, ADD seamlessly integrates an adversarial loss, guaranteeing image fidelity even at minimal sampling steps (1-2).

Developed by: Stability AI Funded by: Stability AI Model type: Generative image-to-video model Finetuned from model: SDXL 1.0 Base
