So rapidly, in fact, that the company is billing it as &#8220;real-time&#8221; image generation, since it can also quickly transform images from a source, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/radamar\/status\/1729702545340137804?s=20\">such as a webcam<\/a>, quickly.<\/p>\n<p>SDXL Turbo&#8217;s primary innovation lies in its ability to produce image outputs in a single step, a significant reduction from the 20\u201350 steps required by its predecessor. Stability attributes this leap in efficiency to a technique it calls <a href=\"https:\/\/stability.ai\/research\/adversarial-diffusion-distillation\">Adversarial Diffusion Distillation<\/a> (ADD). ADD uses score distillation, where the model learns from existing image-synthesis models, and adversarial loss, which enhances the model&#8217;s ability to differentiate between real and generated images, improving the realism of the output.<\/p>\n<p>Stability detailed the model&#8217;s inner workings in a <a href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/6213c340453c3f502425776e\/t\/65663480a92fba51d0e1023f\/1701197769659\/adversarial_diffusion_distillation.pdf\">research paper<\/a> released Tuesday that focuses on the ADD technique. One of the claimed advantages of SDXL Turbo is its similarity to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Generative_adversarial_network\">Generative Adversarial Networks<\/a> (GANs), especially in producing single-step image outputs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1987046#p3\">Read 6 remaining paragraphs<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1987046&amp;comments=1\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Ars Technica &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1987046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stable Diffusion Turbo XL can generate AI images as fast as you can type<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enlarge \/ Example images generated using Stable Diffusion XL Turbo.
