	<span>How to use Stable Diffusion in Apple Silicon (M1/M2)
	</span></h1>

<p>🤗 Diffusers is compatible with Apple silicon for Stable Diffusion inference, using the PyTorch <code>mps</code> device. These are the steps you need to follow to use your M1 or M2 computer with Stable Diffusion.</p>

	<span>Inference Pipeline
	</span></h2>

<p>The snippet below demonstrates how to use the <code>mps</code> backend using the familiar <code>to()</code> interface to move the Stable Diffusion pipeline to your M1 or M2 device.</p>
<p>We recommend to “prime” the pipeline using an additional one-time pass through it. This is a temporary workaround for a weird issue we have detected: the first inference pass produces slightly different results than subsequent ones. You only need to do this pass once, and it’s ok to use just one inference step and discard the result.</p>

	<span>Known Issues
	</span></h2>

<ul><li>As mentioned above, we are investigating a strange <a href="https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/issues/372" rel="nofollow">first-time inference issue</a>.</li>
<li>Generating multiple prompts in a batch <a href="https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/issues/363" rel="nofollow">crashes or doesn’t work reliably</a>. We believe this might be related to the <a href="https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/84039#issuecomment-1237735249" rel="nofollow"><code>mps</code> backend in PyTorch</a>, but we need to investigate in more depth. For now, we recommend to iterate instead of batching.</li></ul>

<p>These are the results we got on a M1 Max MacBook Pro with 64 GB of RAM, running macOS Ventura Version 13.0 Beta (22A5331f). We performed Stable Diffusion text-to-image generation of the same prompt for 50 inference steps, using a guidance scale of 7.5.</p>
