Model

pipeline

PixArt-Σ consists of pure transformer blocks for latent diffusion: It can directly generate 1024px, 2K and 4K images from text prompts within a single sampling process.

Source code is available at https://github.com/PixArt-alpha/PixArt-sigma.

Model Description

Model Sources

For research purposes, we recommend our generative-models Github repository (https://github.com/PixArt-alpha/PixArt-sigma), which is more suitable for both training and inference and for which most advanced diffusion sampler like SA-Solver will be added over time. Hugging Face provides free PixArt-Σ inference.

🧨 Diffusers

Make sure to upgrade diffusers to >= 0.28.0:

pip install -U diffusers --upgrade

In addition make sure to install transformers, safetensors, sentencepiece, and accelerate:

pip install transformers accelerate safetensors sentencepiece

For diffusers<0.28.0, check this script for help.

To just use the base model, you can run:

import torch
from diffusers import Transformer2DModel, PixArtSigmaPipeline

device = torch.device("cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
weight_dtype = torch.float16

pipe = PixArtSigmaPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "PixArt-alpha/PixArt-Sigma-XL-2-1024-MS", 
    torch_dtype=weight_dtype,
    use_safetensors=True,
)
pipe.to(device)

# Enable memory optimizations.
# pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()

prompt = "A small cactus with a happy face in the Sahara desert."
image = pipe(prompt).images[0]
image.save("./catcus.png")

When using torch >= 2.0, you can improve the inference speed by 20-30% with torch.compile. Simple wrap the unet with torch compile before running the pipeline:

pipe.transformer = torch.compile(pipe.transformer, mode="reduce-overhead", fullgraph=True)

If you are limited by GPU VRAM, you can enable cpu offloading by calling pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload instead of .to("cuda"):

- pipe.to("cuda")
+ pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()

For more information on how to use PixArt-Σ with diffusers, please have a look at the PixArt-Σ Docs.

Uses

Direct Use

The model is intended for research purposes only. Possible research areas and tasks include

  • Generation of artworks and use in design and other artistic processes.

  • Applications in educational or creative tools.

  • Research on generative models.

  • Safe deployment of models which have the potential to generate harmful content.

  • Probing and understanding the limitations and biases of generative models.

Excluded uses are described below.

Out-of-Scope Use

The model was not trained to be factual or true representations of people or events, and therefore using the model to generate such content is out-of-scope for the abilities of this model.

Limitations and Bias

Limitations

  • The model does not achieve perfect photorealism
  • The model cannot render legible text
  • The model struggles with more difficult tasks which involve compositionality, such as rendering an image corresponding to “A red cube on top of a blue sphere”
  • fingers, .etc in general may not be generated properly.
  • The autoencoding part of the model is lossy.

Bias

While the capabilities of image generation models are impressive, they can also reinforce or exacerbate social biases.

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.
