Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

Fastest

Taiyi-Stable Diffusion is small enough at 1B parameters that hardware is rarely the obstacle — 818 of the cards we track can run it, including cards several years old.

The entry point is the Tesla C1080: 4 GB of memory, Q8_0 compression, roughly 36.9 tokens per second.

A B200 is the fastest we calculate for it: about 3,388 tokens per second, from 8,000 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

About this model

Taiyi-Stable Diffusion was published by IDEA CCNL, in China, in October 2022. academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Image generation, and is recorded as doing image generation, Text-to-image.

It is derived from Stable Diffusion (LDM-KL-8-G) rather than trained from scratch, which is the usual way a specialised model is produced.

The weights are published, so it can be downloaded and run on your own hardware indefinitely, offline, with no account attached.

How fast it runs, and why

Across every card that can run it, the middle of the range is about 95.1 tokens per second, and 806 of them clear the ten tokens per second that roughly matches reading speed.

Every weight participates in every token here, so bandwidth is the whole story: the ranking below is effectively a ranking of memory throughput.

Without the attention layout on record, the memory column is an approximation. It is close enough to choose hardware by, and least reliable at long context.

How it was trained

Producing it required around 5.1 × 10²² FLOP of arithmetic, on NVIDIA A100, which is a statement about the training budget rather than about inference.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for Taiyi-Stable Diffusion

The table above has already assessed every card we hold specifications for against this model. Getting to your answer takes six steps.

  1. 01

    Start from the memory column

    Look at what Taiyi-Stable Diffusion actually needs — around 1.8 GB at Q8_0. No amount of processing power compensates for a card that cannot hold it.

  2. 02

    Match the context to your actual use

    Set the context to what you will actually use. The cache grows with the conversation, and it is the usual reason Taiyi-Stable Diffusion stops fitting a card that seemed fine.

  3. 03

    Choose how far you will compress it

    Compression is what makes Taiyi-Stable Diffusion fit smaller cards, at some cost in accuracy — Q8_0 on the smallest card that fits. A minimum quality removes the ones that go too far.

  4. 04

    Sort by speed

    The speed ordering for Taiyi-Stable Diffusion is effectively an ordering by memory bandwidth, which is why the B200 tops it at 3,388 tok/s.

  5. 05

    Read the fit column last

    The fit column separates cards that just manage Taiyi-Stable Diffusion from those with room to spare. Buy for the second if the context might grow.

  6. 06

    See what else that card runs

    Each card page repeats this sweep for every model we hold. It answers what else the hardware is good for, beyond Taiyi-Stable Diffusion.

Answers

Taiyi-Stable Diffusion — common questions

01

Where can I download Taiyi-Stable Diffusion?

The weights for Taiyi-Stable Diffusion are published, though we do not hold a repository link for it. This site calculates hardware requirements rather than hosting model files.

02

How much compute was used to train Taiyi-Stable Diffusion?

Around 5.1 × 10²² FLOP, on NVIDIA A100. That measures what producing the model cost and says nothing about how quickly it answers once trained — inference speed comes from memory bandwidth, not from the training budget.

03

Can I run Taiyi-Stable Diffusion if it does not fit in my GPU?

Partly. Layers that do not fit sit in system memory and run at a fraction of the speed, so a mostly-offloaded Taiyi-Stable Diffusion is rarely worth using. Every figure here assumes the whole model is on the card.

04

Would two GPUs run Taiyi-Stable Diffusion faster?

A second card roughly doubles the memory available but not the generation rate. With 818 cards already able to run Taiyi-Stable Diffusion alone, the case for pairing is weak.

05

Why does the quantisation differ between cards for Taiyi-Stable Diffusion?

A larger card holds a more accurate copy. Across the cards that run Taiyi-Stable Diffusion, 1 compression levels are used; the floor control above pins it to one.

06

How accurate are these Taiyi-Stable Diffusion speed estimates?

These are estimates with real error bars. The fastest result here, 2,033–5,421 tok/s on the B200, could reasonably land anywhere in its published range depending on which runtime you use.

07

What GPU do I need to run Taiyi-Stable Diffusion?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds Taiyi-Stable Diffusion is the Tesla C1080, with 4 GB of memory. It runs the model at Q8_0 using about 1.8 GB, and produces roughly 36.9 tokens per second. 818 cards in total can run it.

08

How fast is Taiyi-Stable Diffusion on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is a B200 at about 3,388 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and 806 of the cards that can run Taiyi-Stable Diffusion clear that.

09

How much VRAM does Taiyi-Stable Diffusion need?

About 1.8 GB at Q8_0 compression, which is what the smallest card that runs it uses. Less compression needs more: the figures in the memory column above are recalculated for each card, because each one holds the least-compressed version it can.

10

Can I run Taiyi-Stable Diffusion on a 8 GB GPU?

Yes. A CMP 170HX 8 GB with 8 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 1.8 GB and generating roughly 631 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

11

Can I run Taiyi-Stable Diffusion on a 12 GB GPU?

Yes. A GeForce RTX 3080 Ti with 12 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 1.8 GB and generating roughly 386 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

12

Can I run Taiyi-Stable Diffusion on a 16 GB GPU?

Yes. A Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB with 16 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 1.8 GB and generating roughly 479 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

13

Can I run Taiyi-Stable Diffusion on a 24 GB GPU?

Yes. A GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 with 24 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 1.8 GB and generating roughly 568 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

14

Is Taiyi-Stable Diffusion open source?

Its weights are published, so Taiyi-Stable Diffusion can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.

15

How many parameters does Taiyi-Stable Diffusion have?

Taiyi-Stable Diffusion has 1B parameters. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.

16

Who created Taiyi-Stable Diffusion?

Taiyi-Stable Diffusion was published by IDEA CCNL, based in China, categorised as academia.

17

When was Taiyi-Stable Diffusion released?

Taiyi-Stable Diffusion was published in October 2022. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

18

What is Taiyi-Stable Diffusion used for?

Taiyi-Stable Diffusion works in Image generation, and is recorded as handling image generation, Text-to-image. A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.
