It can quickly generate high-quality images from text descriptions while reducing computational effort and generation time. It can produce pictures in seconds and milliseconds!

SDXL Turbo achieves state-of-the-art performance through new distillation technology that reduces the number of steps required from 50 to 1, enabling rapid single-step image generation of unprecedented quality.

The inference speed of SDXL Turbo is greatly improved. In the case of the A100, SDXL Turbo generates a 512x512 image in 207ms!

In terms of performance, SDXL Turbo demonstrated its advantages through comparative testing with multiple different models (such as StyleGAN-T++, OpenMUSE, IF-XL, SDXL, LCM-XL). In these tests, human evaluators are asked to select the output that best matches a given prompt and evaluate image quality.

It performed well in these blind tests, being able to outperform multi-step models such as LCM-XL and SDXL in fewer steps without sacrificing image quality and significantly reducing computational effort.
