title: SDXL-Lightning: Progressive Adversarial Diffusion Distillation
summary: We propose a diffusion distillation method that achieves new state-of-the-art
  in one-step/few-step 1024px text-to-image generation based on SDXL. Our method
  combines progressive and adversarial distillation to achieve a balance between
  quality and mode coverage. In this paper, we discuss the theoretical analysis,
  discriminator design, model formulation, and training techniques. We
  open-source our distilled SDXL-Lightning models both as LoRA and full UNet
  weights.
