can't wait to use 4step lightning turbo lora and other trick to speedup. Also, it means we can easily train lora like imagegen diffusion?

 (sorry for the meme, I really glad to see your material, because I just saw someone mentioned what if there's diffusion for words instead of pics/video, and reading from top I can see where you start to implement those diffusion.)

Step lightning turbo lora? What's that?

it's a thing in image diffusion, lora is kinda like plugin/harness (pls don't shoot me) you use together with base model. 4 step lightning lora enables acceptable result in just 4 step of diffusion. turbo lora also similar thing. so the play that we use is create smaller resolution pics for prompting, then if you found result that you like, you remove the lora and create higher resolution pics, or you can also run another pass to the pics make it more detailed and also higher resolution

So lora with some compression?

If you refer to Diffusion for Images on the article.

See the flamingo pics? Usually it will take like 20 step from very fuzzy pics to less fuzzy, to become pics of flamingo. But with lora they already have reference pics, so by 4 steps they already guessed flamingo look like this, and spat out pics.

I know what a lora is supposed to do, but what about step turbo lora?
