What is Segmind-Vega?
Segmind-Vega is a breakthrough in efficient text-to-image generation, representing a distilled version of Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL). Developed by Segmind, it achieves a remarkable 70% reduction in model size while doubling the inference speed compared to SDXL. The model maintains high-quality image generation capabilities through innovative knowledge distillation techniques.
Implementation Details
The model employs a sophisticated knowledge distillation strategy, learning from multiple expert models including SDXL, ZavyChromaXL, and JuggernautXL. It was trained for 540,000 steps using mixed-precision (fp16) at 1024 resolution, with a learning rate of 1e-5 and batch size of 16.
