Introducing Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large Turbo on WaveSpeedAI: Lightning-Fast, High-Quality Image Generation

The AI image generation landscape just got faster. WaveSpeedAI is excited to announce the availability of Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large Turbo on our platform—a groundbreaking model that delivers stunning, high-resolution images in just four inference steps. Whether you’re building rapid prototyping workflows, real-time applications, or need to process thousands of images at scale, this model redefines what’s possible in text-to-image generation.

What is Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large Turbo?

Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large Turbo is a Multimodal Diffusion Transformer (MMDiT) developed by Stability AI, featuring 8 billion parameters and powered by Adversarial Diffusion Distillation (ADD). This innovative distillation technique allows the model to generate high-quality images in a fraction of the steps required by traditional diffusion models.

While standard Stable Diffusion models typically require 30+ steps to produce quality results, Large Turbo achieves exceptional output in just 4 steps. This translates to dramatically faster generation times—tests show images rendering in approximately 40 seconds even on modest hardware like an RTX 2060 with 6GB VRAM.

The model builds on Stability AI’s cutting-edge transformer architecture, utilizing three fixed, pretrained text encoders with Query-Key (QK) normalization for enhanced stability during inference. This technical foundation ensures consistent, reliable results across diverse prompts and use cases.

Key Features

4-Step Generation: Produce high-quality images in just four inference steps, dramatically reducing generation time compared to non-distilled models
8 Billion Parameters: Massive model capacity delivers exceptional image quality, fine details, and accurate prompt interpretation
Superior Typography: Advanced text rendering capabilities for images requiring legible text elements
Complex Prompt Understanding: Accurately interprets nuanced, multi-element prompts with high adherence
Diverse Style Support: Generates stunning visuals across 3D renders, photorealistic images, paintings, line art, and virtually any aesthetic style
Consumer Hardware Compatible: Optimized to run on standard hardware without excessive VRAM demands
Inclusive Outputs: Creates representative imagery with diverse skin tones and features without requiring extensive prompt engineering

Performance That Rivals the Best

In head-to-head benchmarks, Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large Turbo holds its own against the industry’s top performers. According to Stability AI’s ELO scoring, the model leads the market in prompt adherence while rivaling much larger models in image quality—even edging out Flux.1 Dev in certain metrics.

The Large Turbo variant strikes a remarkable balance: it offers comparable quality to Flux.1 Schnell while maintaining the extensive customization options that Stable Diffusion users rely on. For those who need both speed and quality, this model delivers on both fronts without forcing a compromise.

NVIDIA’s TensorRT optimizations further enhance performance, enabling doubled throughput with 40% less VRAM consumption on GeForce RTX and RTX PRO GPUs. This makes enterprise-scale deployment more accessible than ever.
