LoRA

LoRA is a fast and lightweight training method that inserts and trains a significantly smaller number of parameters instead of all the model parameters. This produces a smaller file (~100 MBs) and makes it easier to quickly train a model to learn a new concept. LoRA weights are typically loaded into the denoiser, text encoder or both. The denoiser usually corresponds to a UNet (UNet2DConditionModel, for example) or a Transformer (SD3Transformer2DModel, for example). There are several classes for loading LoRA weights:

- `StableDiffusionLoraLoaderMixin` provides functions for loading and unloading, fusing and unfusing, enabling and disabling, and more functions for managing LoRA weights. This class can be used with any model.
- `StableDiffusionXLLoraLoaderMixin` is a Stable Diffusion (SDXL) version of the `StableDiffusionLoraLoaderMixin` class for loading and saving LoRA weights. It can only be used with the SDXL model.
- `SD3LoraLoaderMixin` provides similar functions for Stable Diffusion 3.
- `AmusedLoraLoaderMixin` is for the AmusedPipeline.
- `LoraBaseMixin` provides a base class with several utility methods to fuse, unfuse, unload, LoRAs and more.

To learn more about how to load LoRA weights, see the LoRA loading guide.
