Image Gen Inference Optimized to 0.45 Seconds

isidentical · x · 2026-07-10

Sharing a system optimization article, the post discusses treating kernel optimization as part of model-system co-design, combining it with QAT and distillation to accelerate inference. As the second part of a series on image generation systems, the article details how diffusion pipelines leveraged kernel optimization, quantization-aware distillation, and timestep distillation to achieve a 0.45-second inference speed.
