Stability AI has launched SDXL Turbo, a text-to-image model that uses a method called Adversarial Diffusion Distillation (ADD) to create images in one step, generating near-real-time results.
In tests, SDXL Turbo outperformed other state-of-the-art models in terms of both image quality and the number of steps required to generate an image, beating a 50-step model with just four steps.
It also offers faster generation times; specifically, it can generate a 512×512 image in 207ms.
However, the company has made it clear that SDXL Turbo is not yet available for commercial use.
The release of SDXL Turbo marks an important step forward for text-to-image generation models, promising both speed and high fidelity.
