diffusers 0.2.2

Diffusers

🤗 Diffusers provides pretrained diffusion models across multiple modalities, such as vision and audio, and serves as a modular toolbox for inference and training of diffusion models.

More precisely, 🤗 Diffusers offers:

• State-of-the-art diffusion pipelines that can be run in inference with just a couple of lines of code (see src/diffusers/pipelines).
• Various noise schedulers that can be used interchangeably for the prefered speed vs. quality trade-off in inference (see src/diffusers/schedulers).
• Multiple types of models, such as UNet, can be used as building blocks in an end-to-end diffusion system (see src/diffusers/models).
• Training examples to show how to train the most popular diffusion models (see examples).

Quickstart

In order to get started, we recommend taking a look at two notebooks:

• The Getting started with Diffusers notebook, which showcases an end-to-end example of usage for diffusion models, schedulers and pipelines. Take a look at this notebook to learn how to use the pipeline abstraction, which takes care of everything (model, scheduler, noise handling) for you, and also to understand each independent building block in the library.
• The Training a diffusers model notebook summarizes diffuser model training methods. This notebook takes a step-by-step approach to training your diffuser model on an image dataset, with explanatory graphics.

New 🎨🎨🎨 Stable Diffusion is now fully compatible with diffusers!

Stable Diffusion is a text-to-image latent diffusion model created by the researchers and engineers from CompVis, Stability AI and LAION. It's trained on 512x512 images from a subset of the LAION-5B database. This model uses a frozen CLIP ViT-L/14 text encoder to condition the model on text prompts. With its 860M UNet and 123M text encoder, the model is relatively lightweight and runs on a GPU with at least 10GB VRAM. See the model card for more information.

The Stable Diffusion weights are currently only available to universities, academics, research institutions and independent researchers. Please request access applying to this form

Examples

If you want to run the code yourself 💻, you can try out:

• Text-to-Image Latent Diffusion

# !pip install diffusers transformers
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline

model_id = "CompVis/ldm-text2im-large-256"

# load model and scheduler
ldm = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id)

# run pipeline in inference (sample random noise and denoise)
prompt = "A painting of a squirrel eating a burger"
images = ldm([prompt], num_inference_steps=50, eta=0.3, guidance_scale=6)["sample"]

# save images
for idx, image in enumerate(images):
    image.save(f"squirrel-{idx}.png")

• Unconditional Diffusion with discrete scheduler

# !pip install diffusers
from diffusers import DDPMPipeline, DDIMPipeline, PNDMPipeline

model_id = "google/ddpm-celebahq-256"

# load model and scheduler
ddpm = DDPMPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id)  # you can replace DDPMPipeline with DDIMPipeline or PNDMPipeline for faster inference

# run pipeline in inference (sample random noise and denoise)
image = ddpm()["sample"]

# save image
image[0].save("ddpm_generated_image.png")

• Unconditional Latent Diffusion
• Unconditional Diffusion with continous scheduler

Definitions

Models: Neural network that models $p_\theta(\mathbf{x}_{t-1}|\mathbf{x}_t)$ (see image below) and is trained end-to-end to denoise a noisy input to an image. Examples: UNet, Conditioned UNet, 3D UNet, Transformer UNet

Figure from DDPM paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.11239).

Schedulers: Algorithm class for both inference and training. The class provides functionality to compute previous image according to alpha, beta schedule as well as predict noise for training. Examples: DDPM, DDIM, PNDM, DEIS

Sampling and training algorithms. Figure from DDPM paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.11239).

Diffusion Pipeline: End-to-end pipeline that includes multiple diffusion models, possible text encoders, ... Examples: Glide, Latent-Diffusion, Imagen, DALL-E 2

Figure from ImageGen (https://imagen.research.google/).

Philosophy

• Readability and clarity is prefered over highly optimized code. A strong importance is put on providing readable, intuitive and elementary code design. E.g., the provided schedulers are separated from the provided models and provide well-commented code that can be read alongside the original paper.
• Diffusers is modality independent and focuses on providing pretrained models and tools to build systems that generate continous outputs, e.g. vision and audio.
• Diffusion models and schedulers are provided as concise, elementary building blocks. In contrast, diffusion pipelines are a collection of end-to-end diffusion systems that can be used out-of-the-box, should stay as close as possible to their original implementation and can include components of another library, such as text-encoders. Examples for diffusion pipelines are Glide and Latent Diffusion.

Installation

With pip

pip install --upgrade diffusers  # should install diffusers 0.2.1

With conda

conda install -c conda-forge diffusers

In the works

For the first release, 🤗 Diffusers focuses on text-to-image diffusion techniques. However, diffusers can be used for much more than that! Over the upcoming releases, we'll be focusing on:

• Diffusers for audio
• Diffusers for reinforcement learning (initial work happening in https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/pull/105).
• Diffusers for video generation
• Diffusers for molecule generation (initial work happening in https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/pull/54)

A few pipeline components are already being worked on, namely:

• BDDMPipeline for spectrogram-to-sound vocoding
• GLIDEPipeline to support OpenAI's GLIDE model
• Grad-TTS for text to audio generation / conditional audio generation

We want diffusers to be a toolbox useful for diffusers models in general; if you find yourself limited in any way by the current API, or would like to see additional models, schedulers, or techniques, please open a GitHub issue mentioning what you would like to see.

Credits

• @CompVis' latent diffusion models library, available here
• @hojonathanho original DDPM implementation, available here as well as the extremely useful translation into PyTorch by @pesser, available here
• @ermongroup's DDIM implementation, available here.
• @yang-song's Score-VE and Score-VP implementations, available here

We also want to thank @heejkoo for the very helpful overview of papers, code and resources on diffusion models, available here as well as @crowsonkb and @rromb for useful discussions and insights.
