Stable Diffusion 3.5 Merged
This repository contains the merged version of Stable Diffusion 3.5, combining the best features from both the Large and Turbo variants.
Inference
Run the following code to generate images using the merged model:
from diffusers import StableDiffusion3Pipeline
import torch
pipeline = StableDiffusion3Pipeline.from_pretrained(
"ariG23498/sd-3.5-merged", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
).to("cuda")
prompt = "a tiny astronaut hatching from an egg on the moon"
image = pipeline(
prompt=prompt,
guidance_scale=1.0,
num_inference_steps=6, # Run faster β‘οΈ
generator=torch.manual_seed(0),
).images[0]
image.save("sd-3.5-merged.png")
Note: Turbo variant runs faster with fewer steps, while Large variant requires more steps (around 50) but provides better detail. With the merged model you would need to play with
num_inference_steps
andguidance_scale
to get the perfect balance of speed and quality. Below I show a grid of scale and step changes and its corresponding generations.
Merging Models
This repository merges the Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large and Stable Diffusion 3.5 Turbo models into a single, powerful model. The Large version uses classifier-free guidance (CFG) and requires more steps, while the Turbo version is distilled for faster generation without CFG.
The merged model retains the detail of the Large version and the speed of the Turbo version.
Code to Merge Models
To access the Stable Diffusion 3.5 models, one needs to fill the forms in the corresponding repositories, and then huggingface_cli login
to let your system know
who you are and whether you have access to the models!

This script downloads the checkpoints, merges them, and saves the merged model locally. You can then upload the merged model to Hugging Face Hub using upload_folder
.
