stable-diffusion-1

Stable Diffusion is a latent text-to-image diffusion model capable of generating photo-realistic images given any text input. For more information about how Stable Diffusion functions, please have a look at 🤗's Stable Diffusion with D🧨iffusers blog.

The Stable-Diffusion-v1-1 was trained on 237,000 steps at resolution 256x256 on laion2B-en, followed by 194,000 steps at resolution 512x512 on laion-high-resolution (170M examples from LAION-5B with resolution >= 1024x1024). For more information, please refer to Training.

This weights here are intended to be used with the D🧨iffusers library. If you are looking for the weights to be loaded into the CompVis Stable Diffusion codebase, come here

Model Details

• Developed by: Robin Rombach, Patrick Esser

• Model type: Diffusion-based text-to-image generation model

• Language(s): English

• License: The CreativeML OpenRAIL M license is an Open RAIL M license, adapted from the work that BigScience and the RAIL Initiative are jointly carrying in the area of responsible AI licensing. See also the article about the BLOOM Open RAIL license on which our license is based.

• Model Description: This is a model that can be used to generate and modify images based on text prompts. It is a Latent Diffusion Model that uses a fixed, pretrained text encoder (CLIP ViT-L/14) as suggested in the Imagen paper.

Examples

We recommend using 🤗's Diffusers library to run Stable Diffusion.

pip install --upgrade diffusers transformers scipy

Running the pipeline with the default PNDM scheduler:

import torch
from torch import autocast
from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline

model_id = "CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-1"
device = "cuda"

pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id)
pipe = pipe.to(device)

prompt = "a photo of an astronaut riding a horse on mars"
with autocast("cuda"):
    image = pipe(prompt)["sample"][0]

image.save("astronaut_rides_horse.png")

Note: If you are limited by GPU memory and have less than 10GB of GPU RAM available, please make sure to load the StableDiffusionPipeline in float16 precision instead of the default float32 precision as done above. You can do so by telling diffusers to expect the weights to be in float16 precision:

import torch

pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16)
pipe = pipe.to(device)

prompt = "a photo of an astronaut riding a horse on mars"
with autocast("cuda"):
    image = pipe(prompt, guidance_scale=7.5)["sample"][0]

image.save("astronaut_rides_horse.png")

To swap out the noise scheduler, pass it to from_pretrained:

from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline, LMSDiscreteScheduler

model_id = "CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-1"
# Use the K-LMS scheduler here instead
scheduler = LMSDiscreteScheduler(beta_start=0.00085, beta_end=0.012, beta_schedule="scaled_linear", num_train_timesteps=1000)
pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id, scheduler=scheduler, use_auth_token=True)
pipe = pipe.to("cuda")

prompt = "a photo of an astronaut riding a horse on mars"
with autocast("cuda"):
    image = pipe(prompt, guidance_scale=7.5)["sample"][0]

image.save("astronaut_rides_horse.png")

Uses

Direct Use

The model is intended for research purposes only. Possible research areas and tasks include

• Safe deployment of models which have the potential to generate harmful content.
• Probing and understanding the limitations and biases of generative models.
• Generation of artworks and use in design and other artistic processes.
• Applications in educational or creative tools.
• Research on generative models.

Excluded uses are described below.

Misuse, Malicious Use, and Out-of-Scope Use

Note: This section is taken from the DALLE-MINI model card, but applies in the same way to Stable Diffusion v1.

The model should not be used to intentionally create or disseminate images that create hostile or alienating environments for people. This includes generating images that people would foreseeably find disturbing, distressing, or offensive; or content that propagates historical or current stereotypes.

Out-of-Scope Use

The model was not trained to be factual or true representations of people or events, and therefore using the model to generate such content is out-of-scope for the abilities of this model.

Misuse and Malicious Use

Using the model to generate content that is cruel to individuals is a misuse of this model. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Generating demeaning, dehumanizing, or otherwise harmful represen
