Stable Cascade

This model is built upon the Würstchen architecture and its main difference to other models like Stable Diffusion is that it is working at a much smaller latent space. Why is this important? The smaller the latent space, the faster you can run inference and the cheaper the training becomes. How small is the latent space? Stable Diffusion uses a compression factor of 8, resulting in a 1024x1024 image being encoded to 128x128. Stable Cascade achieves a compression factor of 42, meaning that it is possible to encode a 1024x1024 image to 24x24, while maintaining crisp reconstructions. The text-conditional model is then trained in the highly compressed latent space. Previous versions of this architecture, achieved a 16x cost reduction over Stable Diffusion 1.5.

Therefore, this kind of model is well suited for usages where efficiency is important. Furthermore, all known extensions like finetuning, LoRA, ControlNet, IP-Adapter, LCM etc. are possible with this method as well.

The original codebase can be found at Stability-AI/StableCascade.

##
Model Overview

Stable Cascade consists of three models: Stage A, Stage B and Stage C, representing a cascade to generate images, hence the name “Stable Cascade”.

Stage A & B are used to compress images, similar to what the job of the VAE is in Stable Diffusion. However, with this setup, a much higher compression of images can be achieved. While the Stable Diffusion models use a spatial compression factor of 8, encoding an image with resolution of 1024 x 1024 to 128 x 128, Stable Cascade achieves a compression factor of 42. This encodes a 1024 x 1024 image to 24 x 24, while being able to accurately decode the image. This comes with the great benefit of cheaper training and inference. Furthermore, Stage C is responsible for generating the small 24 x 24 latents given a text prompt.

The Stage C model operates on the small 24 x 24 latents and denoises the latents conditioned on text prompts. The model is also the largest component in the Cascade pipeline and is meant to be used with the `StableCascadePriorPipeline`

The Stage B and Stage A models are used with the `StableCascadeDecoderPipeline` and are responsible for generating the final image given the small 24 x 24 latents.

There are some restrictions on data types that can be used with the Stable Cascade models. The official checkpoints for the `StableCascadePriorPipeline` do not support the `torch.float16` data type. Please use `torch.bfloat16` instead.

In order to use the `torch.bfloat16` data type with the `StableCascadeDecoderPipeline` you need to have PyTorch 2.2.0 or higher installed. This also means that using the `StableCascadeCombinedPipeline` with `torch.bfloat16` requires PyTorch 2.2.0 or higher, since it calls the `StableCascadeDecoderPipeline` internally.

If it is not possible to install PyTorch 2.2.0 or higher in your environment, the `StableCascadeDecoderPipeline` can be used on its own with the `torch.float16` data type. You can download the full precision or `bf16` variant weights for the pipeline and cast the weights to `torch.float16`.

####
enable_model_cpu_offload

< source >

( gpu_id: typing.Optional[int] = None device: typing.Union[torch.device, str] = 'cuda' )

Offloads all models to CPU using accelerate, reducing memory usage with a low impact on performance. Compared to `enable_sequential_cpu_offload`, this method moves one whole model at a time to the GPU when its `forward` method is called, and the model remains in GPU until the next model runs. Memory savings are lower than with `enable_sequential_cpu_offload`, but performance is much better due to the iterative execution of the `unet`.

####
enable_sequential_cpu_offload

< source >

( gpu_id: typing.Optional[int] = None device: typing.Union[torch.device, str] = 'cuda' )

Offloads all models (`unet`, `text_encoder`, `vae`, and `safety checker` state dicts) to CPU using 🤗 Accelerate, significantly reducing memory usage. Models are moved to a `torch.device('meta')` and loaded on a GPU only when their specific submodule’s `forward` method is called. Offloading happens on a submodule basis. Memory savings are higher than using `enable_model_cpu_offload`, but performance is lower.

- prompt (`str` or `List[str]`) — The prompt or prompts to guide the image generation.
- num_inference_steps (`int`, optional, defaults to 12) — The number of denoising steps. More denoising steps usually lead to a higher quality image at the expense of slower inference.
- guidance_scale (`float`, optional, defaults to 0.0) — Guidance scale as defined in Classifier-Free Diffusion Guidance. `decoder_guidance_scale` is defined as `w` of equation 2. of Imagen Paper. Guidance scale is enabled by setting `decoder_guidance_scale > 1`. Higher guidance scale encourages to generate images that are closely linked to the text `prompt`, usually at the expense of lower image quality.
- negative_prompt (`str` or `List[str]`, optional) — The prompt or prompts not to guide the image generation. Ignored when not using guidance (i.e., ignored if `decoder_guidance_scale` is less than `1`).
- prompt_embeds (`torch.Tensor`, optional) — Pre-generated text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs, e.g. prompt weighting. If not provided, text embeddings will be generated from `prompt` input argument.
- prompt_embeds_pooled (`torch.Tensor`, optional) — Pre-generated pooled text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs, e.g. prompt weighting. If not provided, pooled text embeddings will be generated from `prompt` input argument.
- negative_prompt_embeds (`torch.Tensor`, optional) — Pre-generated negative text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs, e.g. prompt weighting. If not provided, negative_prompt_embeds will be generated from `negative_prompt` input argument.
- negative_prompt_embeds_pooled (`torch.Tensor`, optional) — Pre-generated negative pooled text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs, e.g. prompt weighting. If not provided, negative_prompt_embeds_pooled will be generated from `negative_prompt` input argument.
- num_images_per_prompt (`int`, optional, defaults to 1) — The number of images to generate per prompt.
- generator (`torch.Generator` or `List[torch.Generator]`, optional) — One or a list of torch generator(s) to make generation deterministic.
- latents (`torch.Tensor`, optional) — Pre-generated noisy latents, sampled from a Gaussian distribution, to be used as inputs for image generation. Can be used to tweak the same generation with different prompts. If not provided, a latents tensor will ge generated by sampling using the supplied random `generator`.
- output_type (`str`, optional, defaults to `"pil"`) — The output format of the generate image. Choose between: `"pil"` (`PIL.Image.Image`), `"np"` (`np.array`) or `"pt"` (`torch.Tensor`).
- return_dict (`bool`, optional, defaults to `True`) — Whether or not to return a ImagePipelineOutput instead of a plain tuple.
- callback_on_step_end (`Callable`, optional) — A function that calls at the end of each denoising steps during the inference. The function is called with the following arguments: `callback_on_step_end(self: DiffusionPipeline, step: int, timestep: int, callback_kwargs: Dict)`. `callback_kwargs` will include a list of all tensors as specified by `callback_on_step_end_tensor_inputs`.
- callback_on_step_end_tensor_inputs (`List`, optional) — The list of tensor inputs for the `callback_on_step_end` function. The tensors specified in the list will be passed as `callback_kwargs` argument. You will only be able to include variables listed in the `._callback_tensor_inputs` attribute of your pipeline class.

Function invoked when calling the pipeline for generation.

Examples:

    >>> import torch
    >>> from diffusers import StableCascadePriorPipeline, StableCascadeDecoderPipeline

    >>> prior_pipe = StableCascadePriorPipeline.from_pretrained(
    ...     "stabilityai/stable-cascade-prior", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
    ... ).to("cuda")
    >>> gen_pipe = StableCascadeDecoderPipeline.from_pretrain(
    ...     "stabilityai/stable-cascade", torch_dtype=torch.float16
    ... ).to("cuda")

    >>> prompt = "an image of a shiba inu, donning a spacesuit and helmet"
    >>> prior_output = pipe(prompt)
    >>> images = gen_pipe(prior_output.image_embeddings, prompt=prompt)
