Better Images in Fewer Steps: Researchers introduce shortcut models to speed up diffusion

Diffusion models usually take many noise-removal steps to produce an image, which takes time at inference. There are ways to reduce the number of steps, but the resulting systems are less effective. Researchers devised a streamlined approach that doesn’t sacrifice output quality.
