FAQ

Q: What is the LCM Lora and what does it do?
A: The LCM or Latent Consistency Model Lora is designed to enable faster, easier image generation from diffusion models by streamlining the process down to just 4-5 steps.

Q: What diffusion models can I use the LCM Lora with?
A: The LCM Lora is compatible with models like SDXL, 1.5, and 1.0 as well as other models. Specific Lora versions exist for different model types.
