What is LCM_Dreamshaper_v7?
LCM_Dreamshaper_v7 is an innovative text-to-image model that implements Latent Consistency Models (LCM) technology. It's distilled from Dreamshaper v7, which itself is a fine-tune of Stable-Diffusion v1-5. The model was trained in just 4,000 iterations, requiring approximately 32 A100 GPU hours, yet delivers remarkable performance in image generation speed and quality.
Implementation Details
The model leverages the Diffusers library and introduces a novel approach to classifier-free guidance distillation. It operates efficiently at 768 x 768 resolution with a CFG scale of 8, and can process batches of 4 images simultaneously on compatible GPUs.
