Optimizing Stable Diffusion for Intel CPUs with NNCF and 🤗 Optimum
Latent Diffusion models are game changers when it comes to solving text-to-image generation problems. Stable Diffusion is one of the most famous examples that got wide adoption in the community and industry. The idea behind the Stable Diffusion model is simple and compelling: you generate an image from a noise vector in multiple small steps refining the noise to a latent image representation. This approach works very well, but it can take a long time to generate an image if you do not have access to powerful GPUs.
