SD-XL 1.0-base Model Card - Neuron

Model

SDXL consists of an ensemble of experts pipeline for latent diffusion: In a first step, the base model is used to generate (noisy) latents, which are then further processed with a refinement model (available here: https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-refiner-1.0/) specialized for the final denoising steps. Note that the base model can be used as a standalone module.

Alternatively, we can use a two-stage pipeline as follows: First, the base model is used to generate latents of the desired output size. In the second step, we use a specialized high-resolution model and apply a technique called SDEdit (https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.01073, also known as "img2img") to the latents generated in the first step, using the same prompt. This technique is slightly slower than the first one, as it requires more function evaluations.

Model Description

• Developed by: Stability AI
• Model type: Diffusion-based text-to-image generative model
• License: CreativeML Open RAIL++-M License
• Model Description: This is a model that can be used to generate and modify images based on text prompts. It is a Latent Diffusion Model that uses two fixed, pretrained text encoders (OpenCLIP-ViT/G and CLIP-ViT/L).
• Resources for more information: Check out our GitHub Repository and the SDXL report on arXiv.

Model Sources

For research purposes, we recommend our generative-models Github repository (https://github.com/Stability-AI/generative-models), which implements the most popular diffusion frameworks (both training and inference) and for which new functionalities like distillation will be added over time. Clipdrop provides free SDXL inference.

Evaluation

The chart above evaluates user preference for SDXL (with and without refinement) over SDXL 0.9 and Stable Diffusion 1.5 and 2.1. The SDXL base model performs significantly better than the previous variants, and the model combined with the refinement module achieves the best overall performance.

Usage

from diffusers import DPMSolverMultistepScheduler
from optimum.neuron import NeuronStableDiffusionXLPipeline

pipeline = NeuronStableDiffusionXLPipeline.from_pretrained("Shekswess/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0-neuron", device_ids=[0, 1])
pipeline.scheduler = DPMSolverMultistepScheduler.from_config(pipeline.scheduler.config)

prompt = "A swirling beautiful exploding scene of magical wonders and surreal ideas and objects with portraits of beautiful woman with silk back to camera, flowers, light, cosmic wonder, nebula, high-resolution"
image = pipeline(prompt=prompt).images[0].save("output.png)

Uses

Direct Use

The model is intended for research purposes only. Possible research areas and tasks include

• Generation of artworks and use in design and other artistic processes.
• Applications in educational or creative tools.
• Research on generative models.
• Safe deployment of models which have the potential to generate harmful content.
• Probing and understanding the limitations and biases of generative models.

Excluded uses are described below.

Out-of-Scope Use

The model was not trained to be factual or true representations of people or events, and therefore using the model to generate such content is out-of-scope for the abilities of this model.

Limitations and Bias

Limitations

• The model does not achieve perfect photorealism
• The model cannot render legible text
• The model struggles with more difficult tasks which involve compositionality, such as rendering an image corresponding to “A red cube on top of a blue sphere”
• Faces and people in general may not be generated properly.
• The autoencoding part of the model is lossy.

Bias

While the capabilities of image generation models are impressive, they can also reinforce or exacerbate social biases.
