# RealTime Generation (MacOS)

{% hint style="info" %}
RealTime Generations are only available on MacOS and with LCM Models or SDXL-Turbo Models and the LCM Scheduler
{% endhint %}

When working with Flux, SDXL-Turbo, SDXL-Lightning, and LCM models, the option to generate images in "Real-Time" as you make changes to your settings becomes available. \
\
This allows you to see result changes as you type your prompt, adjust the Guidance Scale, switch styles, etc.

Note: To see real-time changes on the same image while adjusting settings, ensure the seed is locked and not set to shuffle mode.

***

### How to enable Real-Time Generation

**Step One:** Select a Flux, LCM, or SDXL-Turbo model from the Model Explorer. You can filter these models by clicking the lightning bolt icon. ⚡️
