# Scale-wise Distillation 3.5 Large
Scale-wise Distillation (SwD) is a novel framework for accelerating diffusion models (DMs) 
by progressively increasing spatial resolution during the generation process. 
<br>SwD achieves significant speedups (2.5× to 10×) compared to full-resolution models 
while maintaining or even improving image quality.
