Overview

Pipelines

Pipelines provide a simple way to run state-of-the-art diffusion models in inference by bundling all of the necessary components (multiple independently-trained models, schedulers, and processors) into a single end-to-end class. Pipelines are flexible and they can be adapted to use different scheduler or even model components.

All pipelines are built from the base DiffusionPipeline class which provides basic functionality for loading, downloading, and saving all the components.

Pipelines do not offer any training functionality. You’ll notice PyTorch’s autograd is disabled by decorating the __call__() method with a torch.no_grad decorator because pipelines should not be used for training. If you’re interested in training, please take a look at the Training guides instead!

DiffusionPipeline

class diffusers.DiffusionPipeline

<source>

( )

Base class for all pipelines.

DiffusionPipeline stores all components (models, schedulers, and processors) for diffusion pipelines and provides methods for loading, downloading and saving models. It also includes methods to:

  • move all PyTorch modules to the device of your choice

  • enable/disable the progress bar for the denoising iteration

Class attributes:

  • config_name (str) — The configuration filename that stores the class and module names of all the diffusion pipeline’s components.

  • _optional_components (List[str]) — List of all optional components that don’t have to be passed to the pipeline to function (should be overridden by subclasses).

__call__

( *args**kwargs )

Call self as a function.

device

<source>

( ) → torch.device

Returns

torch.device

The torch device on which the pipeline is located.

to

<source>

( torch_device: typing.Union[str, torch.device, NoneType] = Nonetorch_dtype: typing.Optional[torch.dtype] = Nonesilence_dtype_warnings: bool = False )

components

<source>

( )

The self.components property can be useful to run different pipelines with the same weights and configurations without reallocating additional memory.

Returns (dict): A dictionary containing all the modules needed to initialize the pipeline.

Examples:

Copied

>>> from diffusers import (
...     StableDiffusionPipeline,
...     StableDiffusionImg2ImgPipeline,
...     StableDiffusionInpaintPipeline,
... )

>>> text2img = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5")
>>> img2img = StableDiffusionImg2ImgPipeline(**text2img.components)
>>> inpaint = StableDiffusionInpaintPipeline(**text2img.components)

disable_attention_slicing

<source>

( )

Disable sliced attention computation. If enable_attention_slicing was previously called, attention is computed in one step.

disable_xformers_memory_efficient_attention

<source>

( )

Disable memory efficient attention from xFormers.

download

( pretrained_model_name**kwargs ) → os.PathLike

Parameters

  • pretrained_model_name (str or os.PathLike, optional) — A string, the repository id (for example CompVis/ldm-text2im-large-256) of a pretrained pipeline hosted on the Hub.

  • custom_pipeline (str, optional) — Can be either:

    • A string, the repository id (for example CompVis/ldm-text2im-large-256) of a pretrained pipeline hosted on the Hub. The repository must contain a file called pipeline.py that defines the custom pipeline.

    • A string, the file name of a community pipeline hosted on GitHub under Community. Valid file names must match the file name and not the pipeline script (clip_guided_stable_diffusion instead of clip_guided_stable_diffusion.py). Community pipelines are always loaded from the current main branch of GitHub.

    • A path to a directory (./my_pipeline_directory/) containing a custom pipeline. The directory must contain a file called pipeline.py that defines the custom pipeline.

    🧪 This is an experimental feature and may change in the future.

    For more information on how to load and create custom pipelines, take a look at How to contribute a community pipeline.

  • force_download (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether or not to force the (re-)download of the model weights and configuration files, overriding the cached versions if they exist.

  • resume_download (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether or not to resume downloading the model weights and configuration files. If set to False, any incompletely downloaded files are deleted.

  • proxies (Dict[str, str], optional) — A dictionary of proxy servers to use by protocol or endpoint, for example, {'http': 'foo.bar:3128', 'http://hostname': 'foo.bar:4012'}. The proxies are used on each request.

  • output_loading_info(bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether or not to also return a dictionary containing missing keys, unexpected keys and error messages.

  • local_files_only (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether to only load local model weights and configuration files or not. If set to True, the model won’t be downloaded from the Hub.

  • use_auth_token (str or bool, optional) — The token to use as HTTP bearer authorization for remote files. If True, the token generated from diffusers-cli login (stored in ~/.boincai) is used.

  • revision (str, optional, defaults to "main") — The specific model version to use. It can be a branch name, a tag name, a commit id, or any identifier allowed by Git.

  • custom_revision (str, optional, defaults to "main") — The specific model version to use. It can be a branch name, a tag name, or a commit id similar to revision when loading a custom pipeline from the Hub. It can be a 🌍 Diffusers version when loading a custom pipeline from GitHub, otherwise it defaults to "main" when loading from the Hub.

  • mirror (str, optional) — Mirror source to resolve accessibility issues if you’re downloading a model in China. We do not guarantee the timeliness or safety of the source, and you should refer to the mirror site for more information.

  • variant (str, optional) — Load weights from a specified variant filename such as "fp16" or "ema". This is ignored when loading from_flax.

  • use_safetensors (bool, optional, defaults to None) — If set to None, the safetensors weights are downloaded if they’re available and if the safetensors library is installed. If set to True, the model is forcibly loaded from safetensors weights. If set to False, safetensors weights are not loaded.

  • use_onnx (bool, optional, defaults to False) — If set to True, ONNX weights will always be downloaded if present. If set to False, ONNX weights will never be downloaded. By default use_onnx defaults to the _is_onnx class attribute which is False for non-ONNX pipelines and True for ONNX pipelines. ONNX weights include both files ending with .onnx and .pb.

Returns

os.PathLike

A path to the downloaded pipeline.

Download and cache a PyTorch diffusion pipeline from pretrained pipeline weights.

enable_attention_slicing

<source>

( slice_size: typing.Union[str, int, NoneType] = 'auto' )

Parameters

  • slice_size (str or int, optional, defaults to "auto") — When "auto", halves the input to the attention heads, so attention will be computed in two steps. If "max", maximum amount of memory will be saved by running only one slice at a time. If a number is provided, uses as many slices as attention_head_dim // slice_size. In this case, attention_head_dim must be a multiple of slice_size.

Enable sliced attention computation. When this option is enabled, the attention module splits the input tensor in slices to compute attention in several steps. For more than one attention head, the computation is performed sequentially over each head. This is useful to save some memory in exchange for a small speed decrease.

⚠️ Don’t enable attention slicing if you’re already using scaled_dot_product_attention (SDPA) from PyTorch 2.0 or xFormers. These attention computations are already very memory efficient so you won’t need to enable this function. If you enable attention slicing with SDPA or xFormers, it can lead to serious slow downs!

Examples:

Copied

>>> import torch
>>> from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline

>>> pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
...     "runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5",
...     torch_dtype=torch.float16,
...     use_safetensors=True,
... )

>>> prompt = "a photo of an astronaut riding a horse on mars"
>>> pipe.enable_attention_slicing()
>>> image = pipe(prompt).images[0]

enable_model_cpu_offload

<source>

( gpu_id: int = 0device: typing.Union[torch.device, str] = 'cuda' )

Offloads all models to CPU using accelerate, reducing memory usage with a low impact on performance. Compared to enable_sequential_cpu_offload, this method moves one whole model at a time to the GPU when its forward method is called, and the model remains in GPU until the next model runs. Memory savings are lower than with enable_sequential_cpu_offload, but performance is much better due to the iterative execution of the unet.

enable_sequential_cpu_offload

<source>

( gpu_id: int = 0device: typing.Union[torch.device, str] = 'cuda' )

Offloads all models to CPU using 🌍 Accelerate, significantly reducing memory usage. When called, the state dicts of all torch.nn.Module components (except those in self._exclude_from_cpu_offload) are saved to CPU and then moved to torch.device('meta') and loaded to GPU only when their specific submodule has its forward method called. Offloading happens on a submodule basis. Memory savings are higher than with enable_model_cpu_offload, but performance is lower.

enable_xformers_memory_efficient_attention

<source>

( attention_op: typing.Optional[typing.Callable] = None )

Parameters

  • attention_op (Callable, optional) — Override the default None operator for use as op argument to the memory_efficient_attention() function of xFormers.

Enable memory efficient attention from xFormers. When this option is enabled, you should observe lower GPU memory usage and a potential speed up during inference. Speed up during training is not guaranteed.

⚠️ When memory efficient attention and sliced attention are both enabled, memory efficient attention takes precedent.

Examples:

Copied

>>> import torch
>>> from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
>>> from xformers.ops import MemoryEfficientAttentionFlashAttentionOp

>>> pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-1", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
>>> pipe = pipe.to("cuda")
>>> pipe.enable_xformers_memory_efficient_attention(attention_op=MemoryEfficientAttentionFlashAttentionOp)
>>> # Workaround for not accepting attention shape using VAE for Flash Attention
>>> pipe.vae.enable_xformers_memory_efficient_attention(attention_op=None)

from_pretrained

  • mirror (str, optional) — Mirror source to resolve accessibility issues if you’re downloading a model in China. We do not guarantee the timeliness or safety of the source, and you should refer to the mirror site for more information.

  • device_map (str or Dict[str, Union[int, str, torch.device]], optional) — A map that specifies where each submodule should go. It doesn’t need to be defined for each parameter/buffer name; once a given module name is inside, every submodule of it will be sent to the same device.

    Set device_map="auto" to have 🌍 Accelerate automatically compute the most optimized device_map. For more information about each option see designing a device map.

  • max_memory (Dict, optional) — A dictionary device identifier for the maximum memory. Will default to the maximum memory available for each GPU and the available CPU RAM if unset.

  • offload_folder (str or os.PathLike, optional) — The path to offload weights if device_map contains the value "disk".

  • offload_state_dict (bool, optional) — If True, temporarily offloads the CPU state dict to the hard drive to avoid running out of CPU RAM if the weight of the CPU state dict + the biggest shard of the checkpoint does not fit. Defaults to True when there is some disk offload.

  • low_cpu_mem_usage (bool, optional, defaults to True if torch version >= 1.9.0 else False) — Speed up model loading only loading the pretrained weights and not initializing the weights. This also tries to not use more than 1x model size in CPU memory (including peak memory) while loading the model. Only supported for PyTorch >= 1.9.0.

Some weights of UNet2DConditionModel were not initialized from the model checkpoint at runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5 and are newly initialized because the shapes did not match:
- conv_in.weight: found shape torch.Size([320, 4, 3, 3]) in the checkpoint and torch.Size([320, 9, 3, 3]) in the model instantiated
