UniPCMultistepScheduler
UniPCMultistepScheduler is a training-free framework designed for fast sampling of diffusion models. It was introduced in UniPC: A Unified Predictor-Corrector Framework for Fast Sampling of Diffusion Models by Wenliang Zhao, Lujia Bai, Yongming Rao, Jie Zhou, Jiwen Lu.
It consists of a corrector (UniC) and a predictor (UniP) that share a unified analytical form and support arbitrary orders. UniPC is by design model-agnostic, supporting pixel-space/latent-space DPMs on unconditional/conditional sampling. It can also be applied to both noise prediction and data prediction models. The corrector UniC can be also applied after any off-the-shelf solvers to increase the order of accuracy.
The abstract from the paper is:
Diffusion probabilistic models (DPMs) have demonstrated a very promising ability in high-resolution image synthesis. However, sampling from a pre-trained DPM is time-consuming due to the multiple evaluations of the denoising network, making it more and more important to accelerate the sampling of DPMs. Despite recent progress in designing fast samplers, existing methods still cannot generate satisfying images in many applications where fewer steps (e.g., <10) are favored. In this paper, we develop a unified corrector (UniC) that can be applied after any existing DPM sampler to increase the order of accuracy without extra model evaluations, and derive a unified predictor (UniP) that supports arbitrary order as a byproduct. Combining UniP and UniC, we propose a unified predictor-corrector framework called UniPC for the fast sampling of DPMs, which has a unified analytical form for any order and can significantly improve the sampling quality over previous methods, especially in extremely few steps. We evaluate our methods through extensive experiments including both unconditional and conditional sampling using pixel-space and latent-space DPMs. Our UniPC can achieve 3.87 FID on CIFAR10 (unconditional) and 7.51 FID on ImageNet 256×256 (conditional) with only 10 function evaluations. Code is available at this https URL.
Tips
It is recommended to set solver_order to 2 for guide sampling, and solver_order=3 for unconditional sampling.
Dynamic thresholding from Imagen is supported, and for pixel-space
diffusion models, you can set both predict_x0=True and thresholding=True to use dynamic thresholding. This thresholding method is unsuitable for latent-space diffusion models such as Stable Diffusion.

Parameters
- num_train_timesteps (
int, defaults to 1000) — The number of diffusion steps to train the model. - beta_start (
float, defaults to 0.0001) — The startingbetavalue of inference. - beta_end (
float, defaults to 0.02) — The finalbetavalue. - beta_schedule (
str, defaults to"linear") — The beta schedule, a mapping from a beta range to a sequence of betas for stepping the model. Choose fromlinear,scaled_linear, orsquaredcos_cap_v2. - trained_betas (
np.ndarray, optional) — Pass an array of betas directly to the constructor to bypassbeta_startandbeta_end. - solver_order (
int, default2) — The UniPC order which can be any positive integer. The effective order of accuracy issolver_order + 1due to the UniC. It is recommended to usesolver_order=2for guided sampling, andsolver_order=3for unconditional sampling. - prediction_type (
str, defaults toepsilon, optional) — Prediction type of the scheduler function; can beepsilon(predicts the noise of the diffusion process),sample(directly predicts the noisy sample) orv_prediction` (see section 2.4 of Imagen Video paper). - thresholding (
bool, defaults toFalse) — Whether to use the “dynamic thresholding” method. This is unsuitable for latent-space diffusion models such as Stable Diffusion. - dynamic_thresholding_ratio (
float, defaults to 0.995) — The ratio for the dynamic thresholding method. Valid only whenthresholding=True. - sample_max_value (
float, defaults to 1.0) — The threshold value for dynamic thresholding. Valid only whenthresholding=Trueandpredict_x0=True. - predict_x0 (
bool, defaults toTrue) — Whether to use the updating algorithm on the predicted x0. - solver_type (
str, defaultbh2) — Solver type for UniPC. It is recommended to usebh1for unconditional sampling when steps < 10, andbh2otherwise. - lower_order_final (
bool, defaultTrue) — Whether to use lower-order solvers in the final steps. Only valid for < 15 inference steps. This can stabilize the sampling of DPMSolver for steps < 15, especially for steps <= 10. - disable_corrector (
list, default[]) — Decides which step to disable the corrector to mitigate the misalignment betweenepsilon_theta(x_t, c)andepsilon_theta(x_t^c, c)which can influence convergence for a large guidance scale. Corrector is usually disabled during the first few steps. - solver_p (
SchedulerMixin, defaultNone) — Any other scheduler that if specified, the algorithm becomessolver_p + UniC. - use_karras_sigmas (
bool, optional, defaults toFalse) — Whether to use Karras sigmas for step sizes in the noise schedule during the sampling process. IfTrue, the sigmas are determined according to a sequence of noise levels {σi}. - timestep_spacing (
str, defaults to"linspace") — The way the timesteps should be scaled. Refer to Table 2 of the Common Diffusion Noise Schedules and Sample Steps are Flawed for more information. - steps_offset (
int, defaults to 0) — An offset added to the inference steps. You can use a combination ofoffset=1andset_alpha_to_one=Falseto make the last step use step 0 for the previous alpha product like in Stable Diffusion.
UniPCMultistepScheduler is a training-free framework designed for the fast sampling of diffusion models.
This model inherits from SchedulerMixin and ConfigMixin. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all schedulers such as loading and saving.
