diffgentor 0.1.0

A unified visual generation data synthesis factory supporting multiple backends (diffusers, xDiT, OpenAI API)

Diffgentor

A unified visual generation data synthesis tool for batch image generation and editing, designed for GenArena evaluation and beyond.

Abstract

Diffgentor is an efficient pipeline for batch image generation using various image generation and editing models. It supports multiple backends including diffusers, OpenAI API, Google GenAI (Gemini), and third-party models like Step1X-Edit, BAGEL, and Emu3.5.

Key features:

• Multiple Backends: diffusers, xDiT (multi-GPU), OpenAI, Google GenAI, and third-party models
• Batch Processing: Efficient batch inference with multi-process/multi-thread support
• GenArena Integration: Generate model outputs for GenArena pairwise evaluation
• Optimization Suite: VAE slicing/tiling, torch.compile, attention backends, and more

Quick Start

Installation

Option 1: pip install

pip install diffgentor

Option 2: From source with third-party models

git clone --recursive https://github.com/ruihanglix/diffgentor.git
cd diffgentor
pip install -e .

The --recursive flag initializes git submodules for third-party models (Step1X-Edit, BAGEL, Emu3.5, DreamOmni2, etc.)

Download GenArena Dataset

hf download rhli/genarena --repo-type dataset --local-dir ./data

Generate Images for MultiRef Subset

Example using FLUX.2 [klein] 4B model:

diffgentor edit --backend diffusers \
    --model_name black-forest-labs/FLUX.2-klein-4B \
    --input ./data/multiref/ \
    --output_dir ./output/multiref/FLUX2-klein-4B/
