T-GATE

T-GATE accelerates inference for Stable Diffusion, PixArt, and Latency Consistency Model pipelines by skipping the cross-attention calculation once it converges. This method doesn’t require any additional training and it can speed up inference from 10-50%. T-GATE is also compatible with other optimization methods like DeepCache.

Before you begin, make sure you install T-GATE.

pip install tgate
pip install -U torch diffusers transformers accelerate DeepCache

To use T-GATE with a pipeline, you need to use its corresponding loader.

Pipeline T-GATE Loader
PixArt TgatePixArtLoader
Stable Diffusion XL TgateSDXLLoader
Stable Diffusion XL + DeepCache TgateSDXLDeepCacheLoader
Stable Diffusion TgateSDLoader
Stable Diffusion + DeepCache TgateSDDeepCacheLoader

Next, create a TgateLoader with a pipeline, the gate step (the time step to stop calculating the cross attention), and the number of inference steps. Then call the tgate method on the pipeline with a prompt, gate step, and the number of inference steps.

Let’s see how to enable this for several different pipelines.

PixArt
Stable Diffusion XL
StableDiffusionXL with DeepCache
Latent Consistency Model

Accelerate PixArtAlphaPipeline with T-GATE:

import torch
from diffusers import PixArtAlphaPipeline
from tgate import TgatePixArtLoader

pipe = PixArtAlphaPipeline.from_pretrained("PixArt-alpha/PixArt-XL-2-1024-MS", torch_dtype=torch.float16)

gate_step = 8
inference_step = 25
pipe = TgatePixArtLoader(
       pipe,
       gate_step=gate_step,
       num_inference_steps=inference_step,
).to("cuda")

image = pipe.tgate(
       "An alpaca made of colorful building blocks, cyberpunk.",
       gate_step=gate_step,
       num_inference_steps=inference_step,
).images[0]

T-GATE also supports StableDiffusionPipeline and PixArt-alpha/PixArt-LCM-XL-2-1024-MS.
