The original Perturbed-Attention Guidance for unconditional models and SD1.5 by [Hyoungwon Cho](https://huggingface.co/hyoungwoncho) is availiable at [hyoungwoncho/sd_perturbed_attention_guidance](https://huggingface.co/hyoungwoncho/sd_perturbed_attention_guidance)

[Project](https://ku-cvlab.github.io/Perturbed-Attention-Guidance/) / [arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.17377) / [GitHub](https://github.com/KU-CVLAB/Perturbed-Attention-Guidance)

This repository is just a simple SDXL implementation of the Perturbed-Attention Guidance (PAG) on Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) for the 🧨 diffusers library.


## Quickstart

Loading Custom Pipeline:

```py
from diffusers import StableDiffusionXLPipeline

pipe = StableDiffusionXLPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0",
    custom_pipeline="multimodalart/sdxl_perturbed_attention_guidance",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16
)

device="cuda"
pipe = pipe.to(device)
```

Unconditional sampling with PAG:
![image/jpeg](uncond_generation_pag.jpg)

```py
output = pipe(
        "",
        num_inference_steps=50,
        guidance_scale=0.0,
        pag_scale=5.0,
        pag_applied_layers=['mid']
    ).images
```

Sampling with PAG and CFG:
![image/jpeg](cfgpag.jpg)
```py
output = pipe(
        "the spirit of a tamagotchi wandering in the city of Vienna",
        num_inference_steps=25,
        guidance_scale=4.0,
        pag_scale=3.0,
        pag_applied_layers=['mid']
    ).images
```

## Parameters

`guidance_scale` : guidance scale of CFG (ex: `7.5`)

`pag_scale` : guidance scale of PAG (ex: `4.0`)

`pag_applied_layers`: layer to apply perturbation (ex: ['mid'])

`pag_applied_layers_index` : index of the layers to apply perturbation (ex: ['m0', 'm1'])
