Hugging Face releases distilled MOSS-Image model with 8-step inference

A distilled version of the MOSS-Image-SFT model, named MOSS-Image-SFT-8-steps-dmd, has been released on Hugging Face. This new model significantly reduces the number of network evaluations from 50 to 8, making it more efficient. It utilizes a data-space distillation technique, as described in arXiv 2610.12102, and is trained on scene graph captions. The model is compatible with libraries like Diffusers and can be integrated into applications such as ComfyUI. AI

IMPACT Offers a more efficient image generation model for developers and users, potentially speeding up inference times.
