Product summary
Distillery by FollowFox is an open-source text-to-image tool designed for compact AI models that run locally or at the edge. It leverages knowledge distillation from larger networks to produce high-quality Stable Diffusion checkpoints. These checkpoints can be used to build complete, end-to-end image-generation experiences, and a step-by-step guide is available on the official site.
How it works
- Generates smaller, efficient Stable Diffusion checkpoints distilled from more capable teacher models.
- Targets deployment on local machines and edge devices, making image generation possible without heavy cloud infrastructure.
- Lets developers supply text prompts and obtain images, simplifying prototyping and integration for constrained environments.
Documentation, samples, and community
Distillery is supported by documentation on the project website, which includes usage guides and examples to help you get started with the generated checkpoints. A public gallery on the site displays sample outputs. For real-time help and conversation, an active Discord server hosts users and contributors. FollowFox also posts updates and deeper write-ups on Substack and accepts questions via email and social channels.
