Usage

For one-step text-to-image generation, DisBack can use the standard diffuser pipeline:

import torch
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline, UNet2DConditionModel, LCMScheduler
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

base_model_id = "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0"
repo_name = "SYZhang0805/DisBack"
ckpt_name = "SDXL_DisBack.bin"

unet = UNet2DConditionModel.from_config(base_model_id, subfolder="unet").to("cuda", torch.float16)
unet.load_state_dict(torch.load(hf_hub_download(repo_name, ckpt_name), map_location="cuda"))

pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(base_model_id, unet=unet, torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True, variant="fp16").to("cuda")
pipe.scheduler = LCMScheduler.from_config(pipe.scheduler.config)
prompt="A photo of a dog." 
image=pipe(prompt=prompt, num_inference_steps=1, guidance_scale=0, timesteps=[399], height=1024, width=1024).images[0]
image.save('output.png', 'PNG')
