Model Descriptions:

Distilled from Dreamshaper v7 fine-tune of Stable-Diffusion v1-5 with only 4,000 training iterations (~32 A100 GPU Hours).

Generation Results:

By distilling classifier-free guidance into the model's input, LCM can generate high-quality images in very short inference time. We compare the inference time at the setting of 768 x 768 resolution, CFG scale w=8, batchsize=4, using a A800 GPU.

Usage

You can try out Latency Consistency Models directly on: Hugging Face Spaces

To run the model yourself, you can leverage the 🧨 Diffusers library:

  1. Install the library:
pip install diffusers transformers accelerate
  1. Run the model:
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
import torch

pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("SimianLuo/LCM_Dreamshaper_v7", custom_pipeline="latent_consistency_txt2img", custom_revision="main")

# To save GPU memory, torch.float16 can be used, but it may compromise image quality.
pipe.to(torch_device="cuda", torch_dtype=torch.float32)

prompt = "Self-portrait oil painting, a beautiful cyborg with golden hair, 8k"

# Can be set to 1~50 steps. LCM support fast inference even <= 4 steps. Recommend: 1~8 steps.
num_inference_steps = 4 

images = pipe(prompt=prompt, num_inference_steps=num_inference_steps, guidance_scale=8.0, lcm_origin_steps=50, output_type="pil").images

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
