# Real-Time Latent Consistency Model Image-to-Image ControlNet

> Interactive demo for real-time sketch-to-image generation using LCM and ControlNet

This is an open-source Hugging Face Space created by Radamés Ajna demonstrating low-latency image generation. It combines Latent Consistency Models (LCM) with ControlNet over WebRTC to transform rough sketches or webcam feeds into rendered art on the fly. It serves as a browser-based proof-of-concept for real-time generative diffusion.
