What is PixArt-LCM-XL-2-1024-MS?
PixArt-LCM-XL-2-1024-MS is a revolutionary text-to-image generation model that combines the powerful PixArt-α architecture with Latent Consistency Models (LCM) to achieve unprecedented generation speeds. This model can generate high-quality 1024px images in just 4 steps, significantly faster than traditional models like SDXL.
Implementation Details
The model utilizes pure transformer blocks for latent diffusion and incorporates T5 text encoders and a VAE latent feature encoder. It employs LCM's diffusion distillation method to predict PF-ODE's solution directly in latent space, enabling extremely fast inference.
