The real-time text-to-image model that generates high-fidelity outputs in a single step.

SDXL Turbo is a fine-tuned, distilled version of the foundational SDXL 1.0 model, engineered for unprecedented speed. It leverages a novel training method: Adversarial Diffusion Distillation (ADD), enabling image synthesis in a single network evaluation step. This single-step capability drastically reduces the required step count from 50 to just one, achieving state-of-the-art performance. On an A100 GPU, SDXL Turbo generates a 512x512 image in approximately 207ms, delivering a major improvement in inference speed while maintaining high image quality and fidelity.

Generate images faster than you can type with SDXL Turbo, and then transform those images to video with Stable Video. We made a free app to let anyone do this themselves. Early access to the app is live now at https://app.decohere.ai/turbo , and the password is "gottagofast"
