Introduction

TCD, inspired by Consistency Models, is a novel distillation technology that enables the distillation of knowledge from pre-trained diffusion models into a few-step sampler. In this repository, we release the inference code and our model named TCD-SDXL, which is distilled from SDXL Base 1.0. We provide the LoRA checkpoint in this repository.

✨TCD has following advantages:

• Flexible NFEs: For TCD, the NFEs can be varied at will (compared with Turbo), without adversely affecting the quality of the results (compared with LCMs), where LCM experiences a notable decline in quality at high NFEs.
• Better than Teacher: TCD maintains superior generative quality at high NFEs, even exceeding the performance of DPM-Solver++(2S) with origin SDXL. It is worth noting that there is no additional discriminator or LPIPS supervision included during training.
• Freely Change the Detailing: During inference, the level of detail in the image can be simply modified by adjusing one hyper-parameter gamma. This option does not require the introduction of any additional parameters.
• Versatility: Integrated with LoRA technology, TCD can be directly applied to various models (including the custom Community Models, styled LoRA, ControlNet, IP-Adapter) that share the same backbone, as demonstrated in the Usage.
• Avoiding Mode Collapse: TCD achieves few-step generation without the need for adversarial training, thus circumventing mode collapse caused by the GAN objective. In contrast to the concurrent work SDXL-Lightning, which relies on Adversarial Diffusion Distillation, TCD can synthesize results that are more realistic and slightly more diverse, without the presence of "Janus" artifacts.

Usage

To run the model yourself, you can leverage the 🧨 Diffusers library.

pip install diffusers transformers accelerate peft

And then we clone the repo.

git clone https://github.com/jabir-zheng/TCD.git
cd TCD

Here, we demonstrate the applicability of our TCD LoRA to various models, including SDXL, SDXL Inpainting, a community model named Animagine XL, a styled LoRA Papercut, pretrained Depth Controlnet, Canny Controlnet and IP-Adapter to accelerate image generation with high quality in few steps.
