## Runs On

What it takes to serve controlnet-openpose-sdxl-1.0 (1.3B parameters): the memory its weights need at each precision, and the cheapest way to rent enough data-center GPUs to hold them.

Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context; a long context needs more. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the [SAVRN Index](https://savrn.com/ai-index/pricing/gpus), read Oct 24, 2026.

## SAVRN's Notes on controlnet-openpose-sdxl-1.0

A ControlNet steers an image model with structure you supply. This one reads an OpenPose skeleton and makes SDXL put people in exactly that pose, which is the difference between hoping for a composition and specifying it. The author notes that the thickness of the pose lines affects stability, so match their drawing settings.

Apache 2.0 allows commercial use of the ControlNet itself, but the base SDXL model you pair it with carries its own license, and that is the one that governs your images. At 1.3B parameters it adds little to an SDXL setup you already run.

### Replace the default draw pose function to get better result

thanks feiyuuu for report the problem. When using the default pose line the performance may be unstable, this is because the pose label use more thick line in training to have a better look. This difference can be fix by using the following method:

Find the util.py in controlnet_aux python package, usually the path is like: /your anaconda3 path/envs/your env name/lib/python3.8/site-packages/controlnet_aux/open_pose/util.py Replace the draw_bodypose function with the following code:

## Questions About controlnet-openpose-sdxl-1.0

### How much GPU memory does controlnet-openpose-sdxl-1.0 need?

About 3 GB at 16-bit and 0.8 GB at 4-bit: the weights (1.3B parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

### What is the cheapest GPU to run controlnet-openpose-sdxl-1.0 on?

At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.

SD-Turbo is a fast generative text-to-image model that can synthesize photorealistic images from a text prompt in a single network evaluation. We release SD-Turbo as a research artifact, and to study small, distilled text-to-image models. For increased quality and prompt understanding, we recommend SDXL-Turbo. Please note: For commercial use, please refer to https://stability.ai/license. SD-Turbo is a distilled version of Stable Diffusion 2.1, trained for real-time synthesis. SD-Turbo is based on a novel training method called Adversarial Diffusion Distillation (ADD) (see the technical report), which allows sampling large-scale foundational image diffusion models in 1 to 4 steps at high…

Distilled from Dreamshaper v7 fine-tune of Stable-Diffusion v1-5 with only 4,000 training iterations (~32 A100 GPU Hours). By distilling classifier-free guidance into the model's input, LCM can generate high-quality images in very short inference time. We compare the inference time at the setting of 768 x 768 resolution, CFG scale w=8, batchsize=4, using a A800 GPU.

For more general information on how to run text-to-image models with Diffusers, see the docs. - Version 8 focuses on improving what V7 started. Might be harder to do photorealism compared to realism focused models, as it might be hard to do anime compared to anime focused models, but it can do both pretty well if you're skilled enough. Check the examples! - Version 7 improves lora support, NSFW and realism. If you're interested in "absolute" realism, try AbsoluteReality. - Version 6 adds more lora support and more style in general.
