Kroma 0.3.1 model released with new on-policy distillation technique

Kroma has released version 0.3.1 of its image generation model, featuring a "full turbo opd" update. This new version utilizes an on-policy distillation method, where the student model generates its own data and the teacher model corrects it on those specific points. This approach aims to maintain the original model's data distribution, offering Turbo speed without the typical trade-offs of mode collapse or loss of detail. AI

IMPACT This update to the Kroma model introduces a novel distillation technique that could improve the efficiency and quality of future image generation models.
