Textual inversion
The StableDiffusionPipeline supports textual inversion, a technique that enables a model like Stable Diffusion to learn a new concept from just a few sample images. This gives you more control over the generated images and allows you to tailor the model towards specific concepts. You can get started quickly with a collection of community created concepts in the Stable Diffusion Conceptualizer.
This guide will show you how to run inference with textual inversion using a pre-learned concept from the Stable Diffusion Conceptualizer. If you’re interested in teaching a model new concepts with textual inversion, take a look at the Textual Inversion training guide.
Import the necessary libraries:
import torch
from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline
from diffusers.utils import make_image_gridStable Diffusion 1 and 2
Pick a Stable Diffusion checkpoint and a pre-learned concept from the Stable Diffusion Conceptualizer:
pretrained_model_name_or_path = "stable-diffusion-v1-5/stable-diffusion-v1-5"
repo_id_embeds = "sd-concepts-library/cat-toy"Now you can load a pipeline, and pass the pre-learned concept to it:
pipeline = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
pretrained_model_name_or_path, torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True
).to("cuda")
pipeline.load_textual_inversion(repo_id_embeds)Create a prompt with the pre-learned concept by using the special placeholder token <cat-toy>, and choose the number of samples and rows of images you’d like to generate:
prompt = "a grafitti in a favela wall with a <cat-toy> on it"
num_samples_per_row = 2
num_rows = 2Then run the pipeline (feel free to adjust the parameters like num_inference_steps and guidance_scale to see how they affect image quality), save the generated images and visualize them with the helper function you created at the beginning:
all_images = []
for _ in range(num_rows):
images = pipeline(prompt, num_images_per_prompt=num_samples_per_row, num_inference_steps=50, guidance_scale=7.5).images
all_images.extend(images)
grid = make_image_grid(all_images, num_rows, num_samples_per_row)
grid
Stable Diffusion XL
Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) can also use textual inversion vectors for inference. In contrast to Stable Diffusion 1 and 2, SDXL has two text encoders so you’ll need two textual inversion embeddings - one for each text encoder model.
Let’s download the SDXL textual inversion embeddings and have a closer look at it’s structure:
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
from safetensors.torch import load_file
file = hf_hub_download("dn118/unaestheticXL", filename="unaestheticXLv31.safetensors")
state_dict = load_file(file)
state_dict{'clip_g': tensor([[ 0.0077, -0.0112, 0.0065, ..., 0.0195, 0.0159, 0.0275],
...,
[-0.0170, 0.0213, 0.0143, ..., -0.0302, -0.0240, -0.0362]],
'clip_l': tensor([[ 0.0023, 0.0192, 0.0213, ..., -0.0385, 0.0048, -0.0011],
...,
[ 0.0475, -0.0508, -0.0145, ..., 0.0070, -0.0089, -0.0163]],There are two tensors, "clip_g" and "clip_l".
"clip_g" corresponds to the bigger text encoder in SDXL and refers to
pipe.text_encoder_2 and "clip_l" refers to pipe.text_encoder.
Now you can load each tensor separately by passing them along with the correct text encoder and tokenizer to load_textual_inversion():
from diffusers import AutoPipelineForText2Image
import torch
pipe = AutoPipelineForText2Image.from_pretrained("stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0", variant="fp16", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
pipe.to("cuda")
pipe.load_textual_inversion(state_dict["clip_g"], token="unaestheticXLv31", text_encoder=pipe.text_encoder_2, tokenizer=pipe.tokenizer_2)
pipe.load_textual_inversion(state_dict["clip_l"], token="unaestheticXLv31", text_encoder=pipe.text_encoder, tokenizer=pipe.tokenizer)
# the embedding should be used as a negative embedding, so we pass it as a negative prompt
generator = torch.Generator().manual_seed(33)
image = pipe("a woman standing in front of a mountain", negative_prompt="unaestheticXLv31", generator=generator).images[0]
image
