# Stable Diffusion XL Now Runs on Mac via Advanced Core ML Quantization

_Tool · published 2023-07-27_

Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) can now run locally on Mac devices thanks to advanced Core ML quantization techniques. The optimization reduces the model's computational footprint, allowing Apple silicon Macs to perform efficient image generation without requiring cloud infrastructure or high-end discrete GPUs.

This development is significant for independent creators and post-production professionals who want to run powerful generative image models entirely on consumer hardware. By leveraging Apple's Core ML framework alongside quantization, SDXL becomes more accessible to a broader range of Mac users in creative workflows.
