+The only implementation in turbine-models that is currently in use is its stable diffusion exports and pipeline, which are slated for migration to https://github.com/nod-ai/SHARK-Platform for productionization -- it is to be temporarily preserved here for proof of concept, functionality, and performance. The current state of the turbine-models SD implementation is heavily based on Diffusers' StableDiffusionPipelines, with the harnessing and actual inference code rewritten to offload as much as possible from torch (cpu) to the IREE compiler and runtime. 
 
 In the near future, the remaining purpose of turbine-models is to maintain and validate the " library import -> nn.module -> iree-turbine (dynamo) -> iree-compile " export and compilation stack, for a few different key model classes or suites.
 The model validation and benchmarking of compiled artifacts is under migration to [SHARK-TestSuite](https://github.com/nod-ai/SHARK-TestSuite)
