stability-ai/fast-sdxl

Fast Sdxl is Stability AI's advanced text-to-image AI model. Create photorealistic images, illustrations, and concept art from natural language descriptions with exceptional detail and prompt adherence.

Input
The prompt to use for generating the image. Be as descriptive as possible for best results.
The aspect ratio of the generated image. Allowed values: 21:9, 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16.
The same seed and the same prompt given to the same version of Stable Diffusion will output the same image every time.

API README

Stable Diffusion XL

Stable Diffusion XL occupies a clearly bounded position in a image production pipeline under the route stability-ai/fast-sdxl. It is best evaluated as a named workflow endpoint rather than as a generic substitute for neighboring versions: planners can assign the route to a specific brief, record the chosen revision, and keep approval history tied to one predictable integration surface from intake through delivery.

A practical rollout of Stable Diffusion XL should begin with source-readiness checks, ownership of the submitted material, an agreed budget, and a written definition of the final fast sdxl deliverable. Before automation is enabled, the acceptance pass should verify that the returned asset opens correctly, fits the intended downstream toolchain, satisfies the project’s review criteria, and can be reproduced from the stored request and route identity stability-ai/fast-sdxl.

Highlights

  • Distinct output behavior. For Stable Diffusion XL, for Stable Diffusion XL, create without a starting image; the written prompt is the only required field In Stable Diffusion XL, this capability is applied through the exact stability-ai/fast-sdxl workflow with seed as a relevant request control; the seed control exposes the corresponding choice in this route; the seed control exposes the corresponding choice in this route.
  • Creative control. For Stable Diffusion XL, for Stable Diffusion XL, pass an array of LoRA weights when the generation needs those adapters In Stable Diffusion XL, this capability is applied through the exact stability-ai/fast-sdxl workflow with loras as a relevant request control; the loras control exposes the corresponding choice in this route; the loras control exposes the corresponding choice in this route.
  • Workflow fit. For Stable Diffusion XL, for Stable Diffusion XL, select among ten landscape, square, and portrait ratios In Stable Diffusion XL, this capability is applied through the exact stability-ai/fast-sdxl workflow with prompt as a relevant request control; the prompt control exposes the corresponding choice in this route; the prompt control exposes the corresponding choice in this route.
  • Production detail. For Stable Diffusion XL, for Stable Diffusion XL, set both guidance and the number of inference steps within their declared bounds In Stable Diffusion XL, this capability is applied through the exact stability-ai/fast-sdxl workflow with aspect ratio as a relevant request control; the aspect ratio control exposes the corresponding choice in this route; the aspect ratio control exposes the corresponding choice in this route.
