Revolutionizing Virtual Try-On with 50x Faster Inference and 98% Lower Compute Costs
Diffusion models, the backbone of many state-of-the-art VTON solutions, excel at generating photorealistic images. However, their computational demands create significant barriers to real-world deployment. The core issue lies in their high inference latency—often requiring 50 or more steps to produce a single image, which translates to 10–20 seconds of wait time per try-on. This not only frustrates users but also drives up GPU usage, making costs unsustainable for large-scale applications.
We reimagined the VTON pipeline to prioritize real-time performance, cost-efficiency, and uncompromised visual quality. Our approach focuses on streamlining the underlying technology to eliminate latency and reduce resource demands.
We achieved this through deep model architecture tweaking, multi-level deep training with different loss types, and finally applying quantization. These strategies significantly reduced computational overhead while maintaining output fidelity. Underpinning these advancements is our proprietary in-house dataset—a comprehensive, meticulously annotated collection of diverse images.
