1. What technique enables SDXL Turbo to generate images in a single step?

   1. Adversarial diffusion distillation
   2. Neural network pruning
   3. Latent space compression
   4. Recursive token merging

2. What approximate GPU latency does SDXL Turbo achieve when rendering a 512x512 image on an H100 processor?

   1. 2-5 seconds
   2. 3-6 seconds
   3. Less than 100 milliseconds
   4. 1-2 seconds

3. At which resolution does SDXL Turbo maintain its speed advantage?

   1. 512 or 768 pixels
   2. 2048 pixels and above
   3. 256 or 384 pixels
   4. 1024 or 1536 pixels

4. A developer wants to build a live prompt sandbox where users see image updates as they type. Which model best fits this use case?

   1. Stable Diffusion 1.5
   2. SDXL Turbo
   3. Flux Pro
   4. SDXL base

5. What quality aspects does SDXL Turbo still struggle with despite its speed?

   1. Text rendering and hands
   2. Object occlusion and depth
   3. Color accuracy and contrast
   4. Background composition

6. Why might a developer pair SDXL Turbo with a second-pass refiner?

   1. To achieve publish-quality output while maintaining interactive speed during iteration
   2. To run the model on CPU hardware
   3. To reduce GPU memory usage during generation
   4. To enable video generation at 30 FPS

7. What is the primary tradeoff when using SDXL Turbo instead of SDXL base?

   1. Resolution versus color depth
   2. Privacy versus cloud processing
   3. Latency versus model size
   4. Speed versus top-end quality

8. Under what license are the stock SDXL Turbo weights released?

   1. MIT License
   2. Apache 2.0 license
   3. Research-only license
   4. Creative Commons Zero

9. A creator wants to build a commercial real-time image app. Which model could they use without violating the license?

   1. Flux Schnell
   2. SDXL base (stock weights)
   3. Stable Diffusion XL Pro
   4. Stock SDXL Turbo

10. In the two-pass pattern described, what happens during the first pass?

    1. The model refines hand details
    2. The image is exported to print-ready format
    3. The user iterates on prompts while seeing live previews
    4. The final high-quality image is rendered

11. What frame rate can SDXL Turbo achieve when rendering 512x512 images on a decent GPU?

    1. 25-30 frames per second
    2. 5-8 frames per second
    3. 10+ frames per second
    4. 60 frames per second

12. Why should SDXL Turbo not be used for print-ready output?

    1. It trades top-end quality for speed and cannot produce print-ready output
    2. It lacks sufficient resolution for print media
    3. It requires internet connectivity for printing
    4. It generates copyrighted content by default

13. Which model in the comparison table offers the highest quality output?

    1. SDXL base
    2. SDXL Turbo
    3. Flux Pro
    4. Flux Schnell

14. What is the primary advantage of using SDXL Turbo in a classroom demonstration?

    1. The demonstration works without any computer hardware
    2. Students can edit the underlying model parameters
    3. The model generates higher quality educational materials
    4. Students can see how prompt changes affect output in real time

15. In a Figma-like design workflow, which model would provide the closest experience to rapid prototyping?

    1. SDXL base
    2. Stable Diffusion 1.5
    3. Flux Pro
    4. SDXL Turbo
