SDXL Turbo's primary innovation lies in its ability to produce image outputs in a single step, a significant reduction from the 20-50 steps required by its predecessor.
Stability detailed the model's inner workings in a research paper released Tuesday that focuses on the ADD technique.
To try it out, we ran SDXL Turbo locally on an Nvidia RTX 3060... and it can generate a 3-step 1024x1024 image in about 4 seconds, versus 26.4 seconds for a 20-step SDXL image with similar detail.
