Stable Diffusion 3.5 Turbo is distilled from SD 3.5 Large using advanced knowledge distillation techniques to achieve 4× faster generation speed while preserving the model's core quality and style capabilities. It's ideal for workflows where volume matters — rapidly exploring many concepts, generating image variations, or producing content at scale. Despite being a turbo model, it retains the same multimodal diffusion transformer architecture and supports the same broad range of artistic styles.
Generate high volumes of images for content platforms, datasets, or publishing workflows without long waits.
