Stable diffusion 2

Stable Diffusion 2 is a text-to-image latent diffusion model built upon the work of Stable Diffusion 1. The project to train Stable Diffusion 2 was led by Robin Rombach and Katherine Crowson from Stability AI and LAION.

The Stable Diffusion 2.0 release includes robust text-to-image models trained using a brand new text encoder (OpenCLIP), developed by LAION with support from Stability AI, which greatly improves the quality of the generated images compared to earlier V1 releases. The text-to-image models in this release can generate images with default resolutions of both 512x512 pixels and 768x768 pixels. These models are trained on an aesthetic subset of the LAION-5B dataset created by the DeepFloyd team at Stability AI, which is then further filtered to remove adult content using LAION’s NSFW filter.

For more details about how Stable Diffusion 2 works and how it differs from Stable Diffusion 1, please refer to the official launch announcement post.

Tips

Available checkpoints:

Note that the architecture is more or less identical to Stable Diffusion 1 so please refer to this page for API documentation.

We recommend using the DPMSolverMultistepScheduler as it’s currently the fastest scheduler there is.

  • Text-to-Image (512x512 resolution):
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline, DPMSolverMultistepScheduler
import torch

repo_id = "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-base"
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(repo_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16, revision="fp16")

pipe.scheduler = DPMSolverMultistepScheduler.from_config(pipe.scheduler.config)
pipe = pipe.to("cuda")

prompt = "High quality photo of an astronaut riding a horse in space"
image = pipe(prompt, num_inference_steps=25).images[0]
image.save("astronaut.png")
  • Text-to-Image (768x768 resolution):
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline, DPMSolverMultistepScheduler

How to load and use different schedulers.

The stable diffusion pipeline uses DDIMScheduler scheduler by default. But diffusers provides many other schedulers that can be used with the stable diffusion pipeline such as PNDMScheduler, LMSDiscreteScheduler, EulerDiscreteScheduler, EulerAncestralDiscreteScheduler etc. To use a different scheduler, you can either change it via the ConfigMixin.from_config() method or pass the scheduler argument to the from_pretrained method of the pipeline. For example, to use the EulerDiscreteScheduler, you can do the following:

>>> from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline, EulerDiscreteScheduler

>>> pipeline = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2")
>>> pipeline.scheduler = EulerDiscreteScheduler.from_config(pipeline.scheduler.config)

>>> # or
>>> euler_scheduler = EulerDiscreteScheduler.from_pretrained("stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2", subfolder="scheduler")
>>> pipeline = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2", scheduler=euler_scheduler)
