SDXS-512-0.9

SDXS is a model that can generate high-resolution images in real-time based on prompt texts, trained using score distillation and feature matching. For more information, please refer to our research paper: SDXS: Real-Time One-Step Latent Diffusion Models with Image Conditions. We open-source the model as part of the research.

SDXS-512-0.9 is a old version of SDXS-512. For some reasons, we are only releasing this version for the time being, and will gradually release other versions.

Model Information:

Teacher DM: SD Turbo
Offline DM: SD v2.1 base
VAE: TAESD

The main differences between this model and version 1.0 are in three aspects:

This version employs TAESD, which may produce low-quality images when weight_type is float16. Our image decoder is not compatible with the current version of diffusers, so it will not be provided now.
This version did not perform the LoRA-GAN finetune mentioned in the implementation details section, which may result in slightly inferior image details.
This version replaces self-attention with cross-attention in the highest resolution stages, which introduces minimal overhead compared to directly removing all Transformer layers.

There is a third-party Demo from @ameerazam08. We'll provide an official demo when 1.0 is officially released, which hopefully won't be long.

Diffusers Usage

import torch
from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline, AutoencoderKL

repo = "IDKiro/sdxs-512-0.9"
seed = 42
weight_type = torch.float32     # or float16

# Load model.
pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(repo, torch_dtype=weight_type)

# use original VAE
# pipe.vae = AutoencoderKL.from_pretrained("IDKiro/sdxs-512-0.9/vae_large")
 
pipe.to("cuda")

prompt = "portrait photo of a girl, photograph, highly detailed face, depth of field, moody light, golden hour"

# Ensure using 1 inference step and CFG set to 0.
image = pipe(
    prompt, 
    num_inference_steps=1, 
    guidance_scale=0,
    generator=torch.Generator(device="cuda").manual_seed(seed)
).images[0]

image.save("output.png")
