Scientists Develop New Technique to Make AI Image Generators 30 Times Faster
- Scientists devised a new "distribution matching distillation" (DMD) technique that makes AI image generators 30 times faster
- DMD teaches new AI models to mimic established generators like DALL-E 3, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion
- This results in smaller, leaner models that retain image quality while generating images much more quickly
- DMD works by organizing images by similarity during training so the AI learns faster
- The new approach requires only 1 processing step instead of 100, dramatically reducing compute power needed
