sd-turbo

SD Turbo is a distilled version of Stable Diffusion designed specifically for real-time image synthesis. Unlike standard diffusion models that require multiple sampling steps, SD Turbo utilizes Adversarial Diffusion Distillation (ADD) to generate high-quality images in just one to four steps. For developers, this means a drastic reduction in inference latency and compute costs, making it ideal for interactive applications, live prototyping, and edge deployment. It integrates seamlessly into existing Stable Diffusion pipelines, allowing you to swap the checkpoint for near-instantaneous text-to-image generation without needing a massive GPU cluster to maintain a responsive user experience.

Download this model

We recommend using the ModelScope CLI or SDK. Install ModelScope first, then choose a full snapshot, single file, SDK or Git LFS workflow.

This entry points to Hugging Face. The commands use the matching ModelScope repository format; confirm that the repository exists on ModelScope before running them. Model repository: stabilityai/sd-turbo
Install ModelScope

Install the CLI and SDK dependency before downloading.

pip install modelscope
Download the full model repository

Download the complete weights, configuration and model card.

modelscope download --model stabilityai/sd-turbo
Download one file to a local directory

README.md is used as an example; replace it with another repository file when needed.

modelscope download --model stabilityai/sd-turbo README.md --local_dir ./dir
Download with the SDK

Useful in Python projects and automation scripts.

from modelscope import snapshot_download
model_dir = snapshot_download('stabilityai/sd-turbo')
Clone with Git

Make sure Git LFS is installed correctly.

git lfs install
git clone https://www.modelscope.cn/stabilityai/sd-turbo.git
Clone without downloading LFS blobs

Fetch the repository structure first, then pull large files when needed.

GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 git clone https://www.modelscope.cn/stabilityai/sd-turbo.git
