Introduction

Rectified Flow is a promising way for accelerating pre-trained diffusion models. However, the generation quality of prior fast flow-based models on Stable Diffusion (such as InstaFlow) is unsatisfactory. In this work, we did several improvements to the original reflow pipeline to significantly boost the performance of flow-based fast SD. Our new model learns a piecewise linear probability flow which can efficiently generate high-quality images in just 4 steps, termed piecewise rectified flow (PeRFlow). Moreover, we found the difference of model weights, ${\Delta}W = W_{\text{PeRFlow}} - W_{\text{SD}}$, can be used as a plug-and-play accelerator module on a wide-range of SD-based models.
