Overview

A pipeline is an end-to-end class that provides a quick and easy way to use a diffusion system for inference by bundling independently trained models and schedulers together. Certain combinations of models and schedulers define specific pipeline types, like StableDiffusionXLPipeline or StableDiffusionControlNetPipeline, with specific capabilities. All pipeline types inherit from the base DiffusionPipeline class; pass it any checkpoint, and it’ll automatically detect the pipeline type and load the necessary components.

This section demonstrates how to use specific pipelines such as Stable Diffusion XL, ControlNet, and DiffEdit. You’ll also learn how to use a distilled version of the Stable Diffusion model to speed up inference, how to create reproducible pipelines, and how to use and contribute community pipelines.
