AltDiffusion

AltDiffusion was proposed in AltCLIP: Altering the Language Encoder in CLIP for Extended Language Capabilities by Zhongzhi Chen, Guang Liu, Bo-Wen Zhang, Fulong Ye, Qinghong Yang, Ledell Wu

The abstract of the paper is the following:

In this work, we present a conceptually simple and effective method to train a strong bilingual multimodal representation model. Starting from the pretrained multimodal representation model CLIP released by OpenAI, we switched its text encoder with a pretrained multilingual text encoder XLM-R, and aligned both languages and image representations by a two-stage training schema consisting of teacher learning and contrastive learning. We validate our method through evaluations of a wide range of tasks. We set new state-of-the-art performances on a bunch of tasks including ImageNet-CN, Flicker30k- CN, and COCO-CN. Further, we obtain very close performances with CLIP on almost all tasks, suggesting that one can simply alter the text encoder in CLIP for extended capabilities such as multilingual understanding.

##
Tips

- AltDiffusion is conceptually exaclty the same as Stable Diffusion.

- Run AltDiffusion

AltDiffusion can be tested very easily with the AltDiffusionPipeline, AltDiffusionImg2ImgPipeline and the `"BAAI/AltDiffusion-m9"` checkpoint exactly in the same way it is shown in the Conditional Image Generation Guide and the Image-to-Image Generation Guide.

- How to load and use different schedulers.

The alt diffusion pipeline uses DDIMScheduler scheduler by default. But `diffusers` provides many other schedulers that can be used with the alt diffusion pipeline such as PNDMScheduler, LMSDiscreteScheduler, EulerDiscreteScheduler, EulerAncestralDiscreteScheduler etc. To use a different scheduler, you can either change it via the ConfigMixin.from_config() method or pass the `scheduler` argument to the `from_pretrained` method of the pipeline. For example, to use the EulerDiscreteScheduler, you can do the following:

    >>> from diffusers import AltDiffusionPipeline, EulerDiscreteScheduler

    >>> pipeline = AltDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("BAAI/AltDiffusion-m9")
    >>> pipeline.scheduler = EulerDiscreteScheduler.from_config(pipeline.scheduler.config)

    >>> # or
    >>> euler_scheduler = EulerDiscreteScheduler.from_pretrained("BAAI/AltDiffusion-m9", subfolder="scheduler")
    >>> pipeline = AltDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("BAAI/AltDiffusion-m9", scheduler=euler_scheduler)

- How to convert all use cases with multiple or single pipeline

If you want to use all possible use cases in a single `DiffusionPipeline` we recommend using the `components` functionality to instantiate all components in the most memory-efficient way:

    >>> from diffusers import (
    ...     AltDiffusionPipeline,
    ...     AltDiffusionImg2ImgPipeline,
    ... )

    >>> text2img = AltDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("BAAI/AltDiffusion-m9")
    >>> img2img = AltDiffusionImg2ImgPipeline(**text2img.components)

    >>> # now you can use text2img(...) and img2img(...) just like the call methods of each respective pipeline

####
disable_vae_slicing

< source >

( )

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

####
enable_sequential_cpu_offload

< source >

( gpu_id = 0 )

Offloads all models to CPU using accelerate, significantly reducing memory usage. When called, unet, text_encoder, vae and safety checker have their state dicts saved to CPU and then are moved to a `torch.device('meta') and loaded to GPU only when their specific submodule has its` forward` method called.

####
enable_vae_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.

Parameters
