Fine-tuning Stable Diffusion models on Intel CPUs

What changed

Like Transformer models, you can fine-tune Diffusion models to help them generate content that matches your business needs. A few months ago, Intel launched the fourth generation of Xeon CPUs, code-named Sapphire Rapids. Sapphire Rapids introduces the Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX), a new hardware accelerator for deep learning workloads.

Why it matters

A concrete addition to Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworks: it changes what's available to builders today rather than being general commentary.
