AutoencoderKL

The variational autoencoder (VAE) model with KL loss was introduced in Auto-Encoding Variational Bayes by Diederik P. Kingma and Max Welling. The model is used in 🤗 Diffusers to encode images into latents and to decode latent representations into images.

The abstract from the paper is:

How can we perform efficient inference and learning in directed probabilistic models, in the presence of continuous latent variables with intractable posterior distributions, and large datasets? We introduce a stochastic variational inference and learning algorithm that scales to large datasets and, under some mild differentiability conditions, even works in the intractable case. Our contributions are two-fold. First, we show that a reparameterization of the variational lower bound yields a lower bound estimator that can be straightforwardly optimized using standard stochastic gradient methods. Second, we show that for i.i.d. datasets with continuous latent variables per datapoint, posterior inference can be made especially efficient by fitting an approximate inference model (also called a recognition model) to the intractable posterior using the proposed lower bound estimator. Theoretical advantages are reflected in experimental results.

Loading from the original format

By default the AutoencoderKL should be loaded with from_pretrained(), but it can also be loaded from the original format using `FromOriginalVAEMixin.from_single_file` as follows:

    from diffusers import AutoencoderKL

    url = "https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse-original/blob/main/vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.safetensors"  # can also be a local file
    model = AutoencoderKL.from_single_file(url)

( in_channels: int = 3 out_channels: int = 3 down_block_types: Tuple = ('DownEncoderBlock2D',) up_block_types: Tuple = ('UpDecoderBlock2D',) block_out_channels: Tuple = (64,) layers_per_block: int = 1 act_fn: str = 'silu' latent_channels: int = 4 norm_num_groups: int = 32 sample_size: int = 32 scaling_factor: float = 0.18215 latents_mean: Optional = None latents_std: Optional = None force_upcast: float = True )

Parameters

- in_channels (int, optional, defaults to 3) — Number of channels in the input image.
- out_channels (int, optional, defaults to 3) — Number of channels in the output.
- down_block_types (`Tuple[str]`, optional, defaults to `("DownEncoderBlock2D",)`) — Tuple of downsample block types.
- up_block_types (`Tuple[str]`, optional, defaults to `("UpDecoderBlock2D",)`) — Tuple of upsample block types.
- block_out_channels (`Tuple[int]`, optional, defaults to `(64,)`) — Tuple of block output channels.
- act_fn (`str`, optional, defaults to `"silu"`) — The activation function to use.
- latent_channels (`int`, optional, defaults to 4) — Number of channels in the latent space.
- sample_size (`int`, optional, defaults to `32`) — Sample input size.
- scaling_factor (`float`, optional, defaults to 0.18215) — The component-wise standard deviation of the trained latent space computed using the first batch of the training set. This is used to scale the latent space to have unit variance when training the diffusion model. The latents are scaled with the formula `z = z * scaling_factor` before being passed to the diffusion model. When decoding, the latents are scaled back to the original scale with the formula: `z = 1 / scaling_factor * z`. For more details, refer to sections 4.3.2 and D.1 of the High-Resolution Image Synthesis with Latent Diffusion Models paper.
- force_upcast (`bool`, optional, default to `True`) — If enabled it will force the VAE to run in float32 for high image resolution pipelines, such as SD-XL. VAE can be fine-tuned / trained to a lower range without loosing too much precision in which case `force_upcast` can be set to `False` - see: https://huggingface.co/madebyollin/sdxl-vae-fp16-fix

####
disable_slicing

< source >

( )

Disable sliced VAE decoding. If `enable_slicing` was previously enabled, this method will go back to computing decoding in one step.

####
disable_tiling

< source >

( )

Disable tiled VAE decoding. If `enable_tiling` was previously enabled, this method will go back to computing decoding in one step.

####
enable_slicing

< source >

( )

Enable sliced VAE decoding. When this option is enabled, the VAE will split the input tensor in slices to compute decoding in several steps. This is useful to save some memory and allow larger batch sizes.

####
enable_tiling

< source >

( use_tiling: bool = True )

Enable tiled VAE decoding. When this option is enabled, the VAE will split the input tensor into tiles to compute decoding and encoding in several steps. This is useful for saving a large amount of memory and to allow processing larger images.

( sample: FloatTensor sample_posterior: bool = False return_dict: bool = True generator: Optional = None )

Parameters

- sample (`torch.FloatTensor`) — Input sample.
- sample_posterior (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — Whether to sample from the posterior.
- return_dict (`bool`, optional, defaults to `True`) — Whether or not to return a `DecoderOutput` instead of a plain tuple.

####
fuse_qkv_projections

< source >

( )

Enables fused QKV projections. For self-attention modules, all projection matrices (i.e., query, key, value) are fused. For cross-attention modules, key and value projection matrices are fused.

This API is 🧪 experimental.

####
set_attn_processor

< source >

( processor: Union )

Parameters

- processor (`dict` of `AttentionProcessor` or only `AttentionProcessor`) — The instantiated processor class or a dictionary of processor classes that will be set as the processor for all `Attention` layers.

  If `processor` is a dict, the key needs to define the path to the corresponding cross attention processor. This is strongly recommended when setting trainable attention processors.

Sets the attention processor to use to compute attention.

####
set_default_attn_processor

< source >

( )

Disables custom attention processors and sets the default attention implementation.

####
tiled_decode

( z: FloatTensor return_dict: bool = True ) →
`~models.vae.DecoderOutput` or `tuple`

Parameters

- z (`torch.FloatTensor`) — Input batch of latent vectors.
- return_dict (`bool`, optional, defaults to `True`) — Whether or not to return a `~models.vae.DecoderOutput` instead of a plain tuple.

Returns

`~models.vae.DecoderOutput` or `tuple`

If return_dict is True, a `~models.vae.DecoderOutput` is returned, otherwise a plain `tuple` is returned.

Decode a batch of images using a tiled decoder.

####
tiled_encode

< source >

( x: FloatTensor return_dict: bool = True ) →
`~models.autoencoder_kl.AutoencoderKLOutput` or `tuple`

Parameters

- x (`torch.FloatTensor`) — Input batch of images.
- return_dict (`bool`, optional, defaults to `True`) — Whether or not to return a `~models.autoencoder_kl.AutoencoderKLOutput` instead of a plain tuple.

Returns

`~models.autoencoder_kl.AutoencoderKLOutput` or `tuple`

If return_dict is True, a `~models.autoencoder_kl.AutoencoderKLOutput` is returned, otherwise a plain `tuple` is returned.

Encode a batch of images using a tiled encoder.

When this option is enabled, the VAE will split the input tensor into tiles to compute encoding in several steps. This is useful to keep memory use constant regardless of image size. The end result of tiled encoding is different from non-tiled encoding because each tile uses a different encoder. To avoid tiling artifacts, the tiles overlap and are blended together to form a smooth output. You may still see tile-sized changes in the output, but they should be much less noticeable.
