However, you don't necessarily need to use these techniques to speed up inference. With PyTorch 2 alone, you can accelerate the inference latency of text-to-image diffusion pipelines by up to 3x. This tutorial will show you how to progressively apply the optimizations found in PyTorch 2 to reduce inference latency. You'll use the [Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL)](../using-diffusers/sdxl) pipeline in this tutorial, but these techniques are applicable to other text-to-image diffusion pipelines too.
