SenseNova-U1 Open-Sources 8-Step Distilled LoRA, Speeds Diffusion Inference by 11x

SenseNova-U1开源8步蒸馏LoRA，扩散模型推理提速11倍

SenseNova-U1 open-sourced an 8-step distilled LoRA that cuts diffusion generation from 100 steps to 8. GPU inference time drops from 23 seconds to 2 seconds, with ComfyUI workflows for text-to-image, image editing, and interleaved generation. The key signal is distillation for latency, not parameter scale.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: the 11x speedup hooks attention, the post gives step and latency numbers, and open LoRA affects diffusion deployment cost. Scope stays within image generation, so this is featured, not P1.
