Author: stabilityai

SD-Turbo is a fast generative text-to-image model that can synthesize photorealistic images from a text prompt in a single network evaluation. We release SD-Turbo as a research artifact, and to study small, distilled text-to-image models. For increased quality and prompt understanding, we recommend SDXL-Turbo.
