There are many adapter types (with [LoRAs](https://huggingface.co/docs/peft/conceptual_guides/adapter#low-rank-adaptation-lora) being the most popular) trained in different styles to achieve different effects. You can even combine multiple adapters to create new and unique images.  
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to easily load and manage adapters for inference with the 🤗 [PEFT](https://huggingface.co/docs/peft/index) integration in 🤗 Diffusers. You'll use LoRA as the main adapter technique, so you'll see the terms LoRA and adapter used interchangeably.  
Let's first install all the required libraries.  
```bash
!pip install -q transformers accelerate peft diffusers
```  
Now, load a pipeline with a [Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL)](../api/pipelines/stable_diffusion/stable_diffusion_xl) checkpoint:  
```python
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
import torch

pipe_id = "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0"
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(pipe_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda")
```  
Next, load a [CiroN2022/toy-face](https://huggingface.co/CiroN2022/toy-face) adapter with the [`~diffusers.loaders.StableDiffusionXLLoraLoaderMixin.load_lora_weights`] method. With the 🤗 PEFT integration, you can assign a specific `adapter_name` to the checkpoint, which lets you easily switch between different LoRA checkpoints. Let's call this adapter `"toy"`.  
```python
pipe.load_lora_weights("CiroN2022/toy-face", weight_name="toy_face_sdxl.safetensors", adapter_name="toy")
```  
Make sure to include the token `toy_face` in the prompt and then you can perform inference:  
```python
prompt = "toy_face of a hacker with a hoodie"

lora_scale = 0.9
image = pipe(
prompt, num_inference_steps=30, cross_attention_kwargs={"scale": lora_scale}, generator=torch.manual_seed(0)
).images[0]
image
```  
![toy-face](https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/diffusers/peft_integration/diffusers_peft_lora_inference_8_1.png)  
With the `adapter_name` parameter, it is really easy to use another adapter for inference! Load the [nerijs/pixel-art-xl](https://huggingface.co/nerijs/pixel-art-xl) adapter that has been fine-tuned to generate pixel art images and call it `"pixel"`.  
The pipeline automatically sets the first loaded adapter (`"toy"`) as the active adapter, but you can activate the `"pixel"` adapter with the [`~loaders.peft.PeftAdapterMixin.set_adapters`] method:  
```python
pipe.load_lora_weights("nerijs/pixel-art-xl", weight_name="pixel-art-xl.safetensors", adapter_name="pixel")
pipe.set_adapters("pixel")
```  
Make sure you include the token `pixel art` in your prompt to generate a pixel art image:  
```python
prompt = "a hacker with a hoodie, pixel art"
image = pipe(
prompt, num_inference_steps=30, cross_attention_kwargs={"scale": lora_scale}, generator=torch.manual_seed(0)
).images[0]
image
```

<Tip>  
By default, if the most up-to-date versions of PEFT and Transformers are detected, `low_cpu_mem_usage` is set to `True` to speed up the loading time of LoRA checkpoints.
