Diffusion models are large, and the iterative nature of denoising an image is computationally expensive and intensive. But this doesn't mean you need access to powerful - or even many - GPUs to use them. There are many optimization techniques for running diffusion models on consumer and free-tier resources. For example, you can load model weights in half-precision to save GPU memory and increase speed or offload the entire model to the GPU to save even more memory.  
PyTorch 2.0 also supports a more memory-efficient attention mechanism called [*scaled dot product attention*](../optimization/torch2.0#scaled-dot-product-attention) that is automatically enabled if you're using PyTorch 2.0. You can combine this with [`torch.compile`](https://pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/torch_compile_tutorial.html) to speed your code up even more:  
```py
from diffusers import AutoPipelineForText2Image
import torch

pipeline = AutoPipelineForText2Image.from_pretrained("stable-diffusion-v1-5/stable-diffusion-v1-5", torch_dtype=torch.float16, variant="fp16").to("cuda")
pipeline.unet = torch.compile(pipeline.unet, mode="reduce-overhead", fullgraph=True)
```  
For more tips on how to optimize your code to save memory and speed up inference, read the [Memory and speed](../optimization/fp16) and [Torch 2.0](../optimization/torch2.0) guides.
