In our earlier post, diffusion-fast, we showed how the Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) pipeline can be optimized up to 3x using native PyTorch code. Back then, SDXL was an open SoTA pipeline for image generation. Quite unsurprisingly, a lot has changed since then, and it’s safe to say that Flux is now one of the most capable open-weight models in the space.
