# SDXL-Turbo Model Card
<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->
SDXL-Turbo is a fast generative text-to-image model that can synthesize photorealistic images from a text prompt in a single network evaluation.
A real-time demo is available here: http://clipdrop.co/stable-diffusion-turbo
## Model Details
### Model Description
SDXL-Turbo is a distilled version of [SDXL 1.0](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0), trained for real-time synthesis.
SDXL-Turbo is based on a novel training method called Adversarial Diffusion Distillation (ADD) (see the [technical report](https://stability.ai/research/adversarial-diffusion-distillation)), which allows sampling large-scale foundational
image diffusion models in 1 to 4 steps at high image quality.
This approach uses score distillation to leverage large-scale off-the-shelf image diffusion models as a teacher signal and combines this with an
adversarial loss to ensure high image fidelity even in the low-step regime of one or two sampling steps.

- **Funded by:** Stability AI
- **Model type:** Generative text-to-image model
- **Finetuned from model:** [SDXL 1.0 Base](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0)
### Model Sources
For research purposes, we recommend our `generative-models` Github repository (https://github.com/Stability-AI/generative-models),
which implements the most popular diffusion frameworks (both training and inference).

## Evaluation
The charts above evaluate user preference for SDXL-Turbo over other single- and multi-step models.
SDXL-Turbo evaluated at a single step is preferred by human voters in terms of image quality and prompt following over LCM-XL evaluated at four (or fewer) steps.
In addition, we see that using four steps for SDXL-Turbo further improves performance.

## Uses
### Direct Use
The model is intended for research purposes only. Possible research areas and tasks include
- Research on generative models.
- Research on real-time applications of generative models.
- Research on the impact of real-time generative models.
- Safe deployment of models which have the potential to generate harmful content.
- Probing and understanding the limitations and biases of generative models.
- Generation of artworks and use in design and other artistic processes.
- Applications in educational or creative tools.
Excluded uses are described below.
### Out-of-Scope Use
The model was not trained to be factual or true representations of people or events,
and therefore using the model to generate such content is out-of-scope for the abilities of this model.
The model should not be used in any way that violates Stability AI's [Acceptable Use Policy](https://stability.ai/use-policy).
## Limitations and Bias
### Limitations
- The generated images are of a fixed resolution (512x512 pix), and the model does not achieve perfect photorealism.
- The model cannot render legible text.
- Faces and people in general may not be generated properly.
- The autoencoding part of the model is lossy.
### Recommendations
The model is intended for research purposes only.
