Inference-time scaling meets Flux.1-Dev (and others) 🔥
Presenting a simple re-implementation of "Inference-time scaling diffusion models beyond denoising steps" by Ma et al.
I did the simplest random search strategy, but results can potentially be improved with better-guided search methods.
Supports Gemini 2 Flash & Qwen2.5 as verifiers for "LLMGrading" 🤗
The steps are simple:
For each round:
1> Starting by sampling 2 starting noises with different seeds.
2> Score the generations w.r.t a metric.
3> Obtain the best generation from the current round.
If you have more compute budget, go to the next search round. Scale the noise pool (
This constitutes the random search method as done in the paper by Google DeepMind.
Code, more results, and a bunch of other stuff are in the repository. Check it out here: https://github.com/sayakpaul/tt-scale-flux/ 🤗

We have been cooking a couple of fine-tuning runs on CogVideoX with finetrainers, smol datasets, and LoRA to generate cool video effects like crushing, dissolving, etc.
We are also releasing a LoRA extraction utility from a fully fine-tuned checkpoint. I know that kind of stuff has existed since eternity, but the quality on video models was nothing short of spectacular. Below are some links:

We have authored a post to go over the state of video generation in the Diffusers ecosystem 🧨
We cover the models supported, the knobs of optims our users can fire, fine-tuning, and more 🔥
5-6GBs for HunyuanVideo, sky is the limit 🌌 🤗

In the past seven days, the Diffusers team has shipped:
1. Two new video models
2. One new image model
3. Two new quantization backends
4. Three new fine-tuning scripts
5. Multiple fixes and library QoL improvements
Coffee on me if someone can guess 1 - 4 correctly.

Introducing a high-quality open-preference dataset to further this line of research for image generation.
Despite being such an inseparable component for modern image generation, open preference datasets are a rarity!
So, we decided to work on one with the community!

The Control family of Flux from
@black-forest-labs
should be discussed more!
It enables structural controls like ControlNets while being significantly less expensive to run!
So, we're working on a Control LoRA training script 🤗
It's still WIP, so go easy:

It's been a while we shipped native quantization support in
We currently support
This post is just a reminder of what's possible:
1. Loading a model with a quantization config
2. Saving a model with quantization config
3. Loading a pre-quantized model
4.
5. Training and loading LoRAs into quantized checkpoints

Did some little experimentation to resize pre-trained LoRAs on Flux. I explored two themes:
* Decrease the rank of a LoRA
* Increase the rank of a LoRA
The first one is helpful in reducing memory requirements if the LoRA is of a high rank, while the second one is merely an experiment. Another implication of this study is in the unification of LoRA ranks when you would like to

Flux.1-Dev like images but in fewer steps.
Merging code (very simple), inference code, merged params: sayakpaul/FLUX.1-merged
Enjoy the Monday 🤗

With larger and larger diffusion transformers coming up, it's becoming increasingly important to have some good quantization tools for them.
We present our findings from a series of experiments on quantizing different diffusion pipelines based on diffusion transformers.
We demonstrate excellent memory savings with a bit of sacrifice on inference latency which is expected to improve in the coming days.
Diffusers 🤝 Quanto ❤️
This was a juicy collaboration between @dacorvo and myself.

New feature 🔥
Image models and LoRAs now have little previews 🤏
If you don't know where to start to find them, I invite you to browse cool LoRAs in the profile of some amazing fine-tuners: @artificialguybr , @alvdansen , @DoctorDiffusion , @e-n-v-y , @KappaNeuro @ostris

Were you aware that we have a dedicated guide on different prompting mechanisms to improve the image generation quality? 🧨
Takes you through simple prompt engineering, prompt weighting, prompt enhancement using GPT-2, and more.
Check out the guide here 🦯

What is your favorite part of our Diffusers integration of Stable Diffusion 3?
My personal favorite is the ability to run it on a variety of different GPUs with minimal code changes.
