Summary

Playground v2 is a new text-to-image model that rivals Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) in speed and quality, with a more opinionated aesthetic similar to AAA video games. Trained from scratch, Playground v2 has consistent output images and is comparable in inference speed to SDXL. While SDXL offers a wider variety of images, Playground v2 wins head-to-head comparisons approximately 70-75% of the time depending on the prompt set used. The model can be deployed in just two clicks from the model library and requires less GPU power than SDXL for inference.
