Parameter Reference

Required Supported Not available

Core Parameters

Parameter Type Description Modes
prompt string Required. Text prompt for image generation
T2I Edit

Size & Layout

Parameter Type Description Modes
size string Image dimensions as WxH pixels (e.g. "1024x1024") or aspect ratio (e.g. "16:9")
WxH determines both shape and scale (aspect_ratio and resolution are ignored when size is provided). W:H format is equivalent to aspect_ratio.
T2I Edit
aspect_ratio string Aspect ratio of the output image (e.g. "16:9", "1:1")
Controls shape independently of scale. Use with resolution to control both. If size is also provided, size takes precedence. Any ratio is accepted and mapped to the nearest supported value.
T2I Edit
resolution string Output resolution tier (e.g. "1K", "4K")
Controls scale independently of shape. Higher tiers produce larger images and cost more. If size is also provided, size takes precedence for scale. Any tier is accepted and mapped to the nearest supported value.
T2I Edit
size

Exact pixel dimensions

"1920x1080"
aspect_ratio

Shape only, default scale

"16:9"
resolution

Scale tier, preserves shape

"1K"

Priority when combined

size aspect_ratio + resolution aspect_ratio resolution

size is most specific and always wins. aspect_ratio and resolution control shape and scale independently.

How matching works

Shape matching – we pick the closest supported ratio. Ask for 7:1 on a model with 4:1 and 8:1, you get 8:1.
Scale matching – providers use different tier formats: K tiers (0.5K 1K 2K 4K) or megapixel tiers (0.25 1). If the exact tier isn't available, you get the nearest one.
Dimension clamping – if a model has pixel limits, we clamp dimensions to fit and keep the aspect ratio intact.

Media Inputs

Parameter Type Description Modes
image file Required. Input image(s) to edit
Supports PNG, JPEG, WebP.
T2I Edit

Output & Format

Parameter Type Description Modes
response_format string How to return the image
url b64_json
Default: "url"
T2I Edit
output_format string Output image format
png jpeg gif webp avif
Gateway converts to requested format if provider doesn't support it natively.
T2I Edit
output_compression integer Compression level for lossy formats (JPEG, WebP, AVIF)
T2I Edit
n integer Number of images to generate
Default: 1
Gateway generates multiple images in parallel even if provider only supports 1.

Parameter Normalization

How we handle parameters across different providers

Not every provider speaks the same language. When you send a parameter, we handle it in one of four ways depending on what the model supports:

Behavior What happens Example
passthrough Sent as-is to the provider style, quality
renamed Same value, mapped to the field name the provider expects prompt
converted Transformed to the provider's native format size
emulated Works even if the provider has no concept of it n, response_format

Parameters we don't recognize pass straight through to the upstream API, so provider-specific options still work.

Overview

Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large Turbo is a distilled version of Stability AI’s most advanced text-to-image model. It is designed specifically for high-speed generation, utilizing adversarial diffusion distillation to produce detailed images in significantly fewer steps than the standard Large variant. This model balances the sophisticated prompt adherence of the SD3.5 architecture with the efficiency required for near-real-time applications.

Strengths

  • Inference Speed: Capable of generating high-quality images in just 4 sampling steps, compared to the 30–50 steps typically required by non-distilled models.
  • Text Rendering: Inherits the Multimodal Diffusion Transformer (MMDiT) architecture’s ability to render legible, coherent text and typography within images.
  • Prompt Adherence: Shows high sensitivity to complex descriptors, maintaining compositional integrity even when given long or nuanced natural language prompts.
  • Operational Efficiency: Lower computational overhead enables reduced costs per generation and faster iteration cycles for developers and designers.

Limitations

  • Anatomical Consistency: While improved over previous versions, the model can still struggle with complex human anatomy, particularly limb positioning and finger counts in crowded scenes.
  • Dynamic Range: The distillation process can sometimes lead to a slight reduction in fine-grained texture detail or a narrow dynamic range compared to the full 8-billion-parameter non-turbo model.
  • Style Variation: The “Turbo” nature of the model may prioritize speed over extreme artistic flexibility, occasionally leaning toward a specific stylistic aesthetic if prompts are too brief.

Technical Background

The model is built on the Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large framework, which utilizes a Multimodal Diffusion Transformer (MMDiT) architecture featuring separate sets of weights for image and text representations. To achieve its speed, Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large Turbo employs a distillation technique that compresses the sampling process, allowing the model to bypass the standard iterative refinement of traditional diffusion while retaining the majority of its visual fidelity.

Best For

This model is ideal for interactive applications where latency is a critical factor, such as live whiteboarding tools, instant asset generation for games, and rapid prototyping workflows. It is particularly effective for users who need to iterate on visual concepts quickly without sacrificing prompt accuracy. Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large Turbo is available for exploration and integration through Lumenfall’s unified API and playground.
