Hunyuan-DiT

Abstract

We present Hunyuan-DiT, a text-to-image diffusion transformer with fine-grained understanding of both English and Chinese. To construct Hunyuan-DiT, we carefully designed the transformer structure, text encoder, and positional encoding. We also build from scratch a whole data pipeline to update and evaluate data for iterative model optimization. For fine-grained language understanding, we train a Multimodal Large Language Model to refine the captions of the images. Finally, Hunyuan-DiT can perform multi-round multi-modal dialogue with users, generating and refining images according to the context. Through our carefully designed holistic human evaluation protocol with more than 50 professional human evaluators, Hunyuan-DiT sets a new state-of-the-art in Chinese-to-image generation compared with other open-source models.

🎉 Hunyuan-DiT Key Features

Chinese-English Bilingual DiT Architecture

Hunyuan-DiT is a diffusion model in the latent space, as depicted in figure below. Following the Latent Diffusion Model, we use a pre-trained Variational Autoencoder (VAE) to compress the images into low-dimensional latent spaces and train a diffusion model to learn the data distribution with diffusion models. Our diffusion model is parameterized with a transformer. To encode the text prompts, we leverage a combination of pre-trained bilingual (English and Chinese) CLIP and multilingual T5 encoder.

Multi-turn Text2Image Generation

Understanding natural language instructions and performing multi-turn interaction with users are important for a text-to-image system. It can help build a dynamic and iterative creation process that bring the user’s idea into reality step by step. In this section, we will detail how we empower Hunyuan-DiT with the ability to perform multi-round conversations and image generation. We train MLLM to understand the multi-round user dialogue and output the new text prompt for image generation.

📈 Comparisons

In order to comprehensively compare the generation capabilities of HunyuanDiT and other models, we constructed a 4-dimensional test set, including Text-Image Consistency, Excluding AI Artifacts, Subject Clarity, Aesthetic. More than 50 professional evaluators performs the evaluation.

📜 Requirements

This repo consists of DialogGen (a prompt enhancement model) and Hunyuan-DiT (a text-to-image model).

The following table shows the requirements for running the models (The TensorRT version will be updated soon):

Model	TensorRT	Batch Size	GPU Memory	GPU
DialogGen + Hunyuan-DiT	✘	1	32G	V100/A100
Hunyuan-DiT	✘	1	11G	V100/A100

An NVIDIA GPU with CUDA support is required.
- We have tested V100 and A100 GPUs.
- Minimum: The minimum GPU memory required is 11GB.
- Recommended: We recommend using a GPU with 32GB of memory for better generation quality.
Tested operating system: Linux

🛠️ Dependencies and Installation

Begin by cloning the repository:

git clone https://github.com/tencent/HunyuanDiT
cd HunyuanDiT

We provide an environment.yml file for setting up a Conda environment. Conda's installation instructions are available here.

# 1. Prepare conda environment
conda env create -f environment.yml

# 2. Activate the environment
conda activate HunyuanDiT

# 3. Install pip dependencies
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

# 4. (Optional) Install flash attention v2 for acceleration (requires CUDA 11.6 or above)
python -m pip install git+https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention.git@v2.1.2.post3

🧱 Download Pretrained Models

To download the model, first install the huggingface-cli. (Detailed instructions are available here.)

python -m pip install "huggingface_hub[cli]"

Then download the model using the following commands:

# Create a directory named 'ckpts' where the model will be saved, fulfilling the prerequisites for running the demo.
mkdir ckpts
# Use the huggingface-cli tool to download the model.
# The download time may vary from 10 minutes to 1 hour depending on network conditions.
huggingface-cli download Tencent-Hunyuan/HunyuanDiT --local-dir ./ckpts

Note：If an No such file or directory: 'ckpts/.huggingface/.gitignore.lock' like error occurs during the download process, you can ignore the error and retry the command by executing huggingface-cli download Tencent-Hunyuan/HunyuanDiT --local-dir ./ckpts

All models will be automatically downloaded. For more information about the model, visit the Hugging Face repository here.

Model	#Params	Download URL
mT5	1.6B	mT5
CLIP	350M	CLIP
DialogGen	7.0B	DialogGen

🔑 Inference

Using Gradio

Make sure you have activated the conda environment before running the following command.

# By default, we start a Chinese UI.
python app/hydit_app.py

# Using Flash Attention for acceleration.
python app/hydit_app.py --infer-mode fa

# You can disable the enhancement model if the GPU memory is insufficient.
# The enhancement will be unavailable until you restart the app without the `--no-enhance` flag. 
python app/hydit_app.py --no-enhance

# Start with English UI
python app/hydit_app.py --lang en

Using Command Line

We provide 3 modes to quick start:

# Prompt Enhancement + Text-to-Image. Torch mode
python sample_t2i.py --prompt "渔舟唱晚"

# Only Text-to-Image. Torch mode
python sample_t2i.py --prompt "渔舟唱晚" --no-enhance

# Only Text-to-Image. Flash Attention mode
python sample_t2i.py --infer-mode fa --prompt "渔舟唱晚"

# Generate an image with other image sizes.
python sample_t2i.py --prompt "渔舟唱晚" --image-size 1280 768

More example prompts can be found in example_prompts.txt
