About
"SDXL is a latent diffusion model for text-to-image synthesis. Compared to previous versions of Stable Diffusion, SDXL leverages a three times larger UNet backbone, achieved by significantly increasing the number of attention blocks and including a second text encoder." (stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0)
This version of the model has been optimized to run on AMD NPUs.
For more information, refer to the original model card under stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0.

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys sdxl-amdnpu for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (sdxl-amdnpu below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/images/generations \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"sdxl-amdnpu","prompt":"a red bicycle","size":"1024x1024"}'
