## Model Descriptions:
Distilled from [Dreamshaper v7](https://huggingface.co/Lykon/dreamshaper-7) fine-tune of [Stable-Diffusion v1-5](https://huggingface.co/runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5) with only 4,000 training iterations (~32 A100 GPU Hours). 

## Generation Results:

</p>

By distilling classifier-free guidance into the model's input, LCM can generate high-quality images in very short inference time. We compare the inference time at the setting of 768 x 768 resolution, CFG scale w=8, batchsize=4, using a A800 GPU.

## Usage

You can try out Latency Consistency Models directly on:
[![Hugging Face Spaces](https://img.shields.io/badge/%F0%9F%A4%97%20Hugging%20Face-Spaces-blue)](https://huggingface.co/spaces/SimianLuo/Latent_Consistency_Model)

To run the model yourself, you can leverage the 🧨 Diffusers library:
1. Install the library:
```
pip install diffusers transformers accelerate
```

2. Run the model:
```py
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
import torch

pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("SimianLuo/LCM_Dreamshaper_v7", custom_pipeline="latent_consistency_txt2img", custom_revision="main")

# To save GPU memory, torch.float16 can be used, but it may compromise image quality.
pipe.to(torch_device="cuda", torch_dtype=torch.float32)

prompt = "Self-portrait oil painting, a beautiful cyborg with golden hair, 8k"

# Can be set to 1~50 steps. LCM support fast inference even <= 4 steps. Recommend: 1~8 steps.
num_inference_steps = 4 

images = pipe(prompt=prompt, num_inference_steps=num_inference_steps, guidance_scale=8.0, lcm_origin_steps=50, output_type="pil").images
```
