Snap Research's SnapFusion: Faster On-device AI Image Generation

Snap Research has developed a new AI model called SnapFusion that shortens the model runtime from text input to image generation on mobile to under two seconds, making it the fastest available on-device model published to date by the academic community. This will enable previously complex technical architectures and generative AI experiences to come to life, with much greater efficiency than prior research has presented.

Through network architecture and denoising process optimization, SnapFusion is able to maintain image quality while being incredibly efficient. This technology supercharges the future of high-quality generative AI experiences on mobile, improving processing times from potentially hours to mere seconds.

While the model is still in its infancy and has yet to make its way to consumers, this development has great potential to revolutionize the mobile industry in the future.
