    SDXL-Lightning is a lightning-fast text-to-image generation model. It can generate high-quality 1024px images in a few steps. For more information, please refer to our research paper: SDXL-Lightning: Progressive Adversarial Diffusion Distillation. We open-source the model as part of the research.

    Our models are distilled from stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0. This repository contains checkpoints for 1-step, 2-step, 4-step, and 8-step distilled models. The generation quality of our 2-step, 4-step, and 8-step model is amazing. Our 1-step model is more experimental.

    So it can speed up using with any other regular SDXL model? 😀

    tigerartMar 15, 2024

    Yes, this LoRAs is for speed up with any regular SDXL model.

    Can't seem to get it working with pony checkpoint.

    It would have had helpful if they had posted at least a rudimentary usage guideline

    For Pony, I got it seemingly working by dropping my CFG to below 4. The example images use CFG 1. I just enable the Lora, turn my CFG down, and then turn my steps down, and it works

    Why can't I find this when I go to "add extras?" Why/how did it get automatically applied when I went into draft mode?

    NatureBoyBiharJun 21, 2024

    That's how it works.

    You could at least show this in the image generation info when someone uses Draft mode instead of pretending its not included.

    Why can't I find it when I search in "additional resources"? I can use it when I click on the "create" button on the lora's page, but that's it. Even when remixing images it doesn't appear in the resources.

    Works great! For me switching to the Turbo scheduler gives the best results. Makes sense since isn't Lighting 1024x1024 Turbo?

    SubtleShaderNov 14, 2024

    SGM Uniform scheduler does the same.

    ¿Por qué no puedo encontrar esto cuando voy a "agregar extras"? ¿Por qué/cómo se aplicó automáticamente cuando entré en modo borrador?

    How to use this? I see some images that use this lora and it looks great. When I use the same checkpoint, sampler guidance and steps... my images come out spotty/grainy!?!

    Try using the sgm_uniform scheduler

    Use the SGM uniform scheduler

    This LORA is like a magic. Whatever it does, the results are pretty good. 🧐 I use it all the time. It's pretty good, although there are a few compatibility issues. 💯

    Is 8-step really trained on SDXL lightning and not base SDXL? It's can't be used with illustrious merges for onsite generation atm, unlike 4 and 2 step ones.

    How can I access the 1-step experimental version? I cannot find it.

    Why it's automatic being added ? I don't even want to use it.

    I love you my lovely person(people)

    Creating an image i 5 seconds is a damn dream ^^

    Only thing that I would point is to add in the description of the lora which scheduler / samplers to use with it, since it doesn't work with all of them
