with as little as 1% of the parameters of the base model achieves state-of-the art results, considerably better than ControlNet in terms of FID score. Hence we call it ControlNet-XS. We provide the code for controlling StableDiffusion-XL [Podell et al., 2023] (Model B, 48M Parameters) and StableDiffusion 2.1 [Rombach et al. 2022] (Model B, 14M Parameters), all under openrail license.*
