[DeepCache](https://huggingface.co/papers/2312.00858) accelerates [`StableDiffusionPipeline`] and [`StableDiffusionXLPipeline`] by strategically caching and reusing high-level features while efficiently updating low-level features by taking advantage of the U-Net architecture.  
Start by installing [DeepCache](https://github.com/horseee/DeepCache):
```bash
pip install DeepCache
```  
Then load and enable the [`DeepCacheSDHelper`](https://github.com/horseee/DeepCache#usage):  
```diff
import torch
from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline
pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained('stable-diffusion-v1-5/stable-diffusion-v1-5', torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda")

+ from DeepCache import DeepCacheSDHelper
+ helper = DeepCacheSDHelper(pipe=pipe)
+ helper.set_params(
+     cache_interval=3,
+     cache_branch_id=0,
+ )
+ helper.enable()

image = pipe("a photo of an astronaut on a moon").images[0]
```  
The `set_params` method accepts two arguments: `cache_interval` and `cache_branch_id`. `cache_interval` means the frequency of feature caching, specified as the number of steps between each cache operation. `cache_branch_id` identifies which branch of the network (ordered from the shallowest to the deepest layer) is responsible for executing the caching processes.
Opting for a lower `cache_branch_id` or a larger `cache_interval` can lead to faster inference speed at the expense of reduced image quality (ablation experiments of these two hyperparameters can be found in the [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.00858)). Once those arguments are set, use the `enable` or `disable` methods to activate or deactivate the `DeepCacheSDHelper`.

You can find more generated samples (original pipeline vs DeepCache) and the corresponding inference latency in the [WandB report](https://wandb.ai/horseee/DeepCache/runs/jwlsqqgt?workspace=user-horseee). The prompts are randomly selected from the [MS-COCO 2017](https://cocodataset.org/#home) dataset.
