Community Pipelines

As of diffusers==0.4.0, you can make use of Community Pipelines.

The goal with community pipelines is to have a community-driven offering of an exotic variety of features built on top of diffusers which is maintained by the community

How to use community pipelines

Load community pipelines passing the custom_pipeline argument to DiffusionPipeline, as one of the files in diffusers/examples/community.

pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4", custom_pipeline="filename_in_the_community_folder")

Contribute to the community pipelines by sending a PR with your own pipelines to diffusers/examples/community, we will merge them quickly.

Why community pipelines?

While the code of community pipelines will not be in official PyPI releases, the code is usable from the diffusers package >= 0.4.0. The reason community pipelines are not under the officially maintained pipelines but instead under the examples/community folder is:

There is a vast amount of use cases that could be supported, but it's hard to figure out what's important enough to be maintained rigorously.
Different opinions on the design philosophy of pipelines.
We don't want to block the community from adding features they would like to add, but at the same time, we cannot take the burden of full maintenance upon ourselves.

So by providing community pipelines, we allow community members to contribute and share their work while having flexibility and development speed while making their work easily accessible to the rest of the ecosystem.

What pipelines to contribute?

Feel free to contribute with any pipeline that is exciting to you! If you want some ideas, we've compiled some ideas in different issues here, but you can do other pipelines as well! Some examples:

How to contribute to a community pipeline?

Let's make an example! Say you want to define a pipeline that just does a single forward pass to a U-Net and then calls a scheduler only once (Note, this doesn't make any sense from a scientific point of view, but only represents an example of how things work under the hood).

Cool! So you open your favorite IDE and start creating your pipeline :computer:. First, what model weights and configurations do we need? We have a U-Net and a scheduler, so our pipeline should take a U-Net and a scheduler as an argument. Also, as stated above, you'd like to be able to load weights and the scheduler config for Hub and share your code with others, so we'll inherit from DiffusionPipeline:

from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
import torch

class UnetSchedulerOneForwardPipeline(DiffusionPipeline):

    def __init__(self, unet, scheduler):
       super().__init__()

Now, we must save the unet and scheduler in a config file so that you can save your pipeline with save_pretrained. Therefore, make sure you add every component that is save-able to the register_modules function:

from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
import torch

class UnetSchedulerOneForwardPipeline(DiffusionPipeline):

    def __init__(self, unet, scheduler):
       super().__init__()

       self.register_modules(unet=unet, scheduler=scheduler)

Cool, the init is done! :fire: Now, let's go into the forward pass, which we recommend defining as __call__ . Here you're given all the creative freedom there is. For our amazing "one-step" pipeline, we simply create a random image and call the unet once and the scheduler once:

from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
import torch

class UnetSchedulerOneForwardPipeline(DiffusionPipeline):

    def __init__(self, unet, scheduler):
        super().__init__()

        self.register_modules(unet=unet, scheduler=scheduler)

    def __call__(self):
          image = torch.randn(
              (1, self.unet.in_channels, self.unet.sample_size, self.unet.sample_size),
          )
          timestep = 1

          model_output = self.unet(image, timestep).sample
          scheduler_output = self.scheduler.step(model_output, timestep, image).prev_sample

          return scheduler_output

Cool, that's it! :rocket: You can now run this pipeline by passing a unet and a scheduler to the init:

from diffusers import DDPMScheduler, Unet2DModel

scheduler = DDPMScheduler()
unet = UNet2DModel()

pipeline = UnetSchedulerOneForwardPipeline(unet=unet, scheduler=scheduler)

output = pipeline()

But what's even better is that you can load pre-existing weights into the pipeline if they match exactly your pipeline structure. This is e.g. the case for https://huggingface.co/google/ddpm-cifar10-32 so that we can do the following:

pipeline = UnetSchedulerOneForwardPipeline.from_pretrained("google/ddpm-cifar10-32")

output = pipeline()

We want to share this amazing pipeline with the community, so we would open a PR request to add the following code under one_step_unet.py to https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/tree/main/examples/community .

from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
import torch

class UnetSchedulerOneForwardPipeline(DiffusionPipeline):

    def __init__(self, unet, scheduler):
        super().__init__()

        self.register_modules(unet=unet, scheduler=scheduler)

    def __call__(self):
          image = torch.randn(
              (1, self.unet.in_channels, self.unet.sample_size, self.unet.sample_size),
          )
          timestep = 1

          model_output = self.unet(image, timestep).sample
          scheduler_output = self.scheduler.step(model_output, timestep, image).prev_sample

          return scheduler_output

Our amazing pipeline got merged here: https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/pull/840. Now everybody that has diffusers >= 0.4.0 installed can use our pipeline magically 🪄 as follows:

from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline

pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("google/ddpm-cifar10-32", custom_pipeline="one_step_unet")
pipe()

Another way to upload your custom_pipeline, besides sending a PR, is uploading the code that contains it to the Hugging Face Hub, as exemplified here.

Try it out now - it works!

In general, you will want to create much more sophisticated pipelines, so we recommend looking at existing pipelines here: https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/tree/main/examples/community

IMPORTANT: You can use whatever package you want in your community pipeline file - as long as the user has it installed, everything will work fine. Make sure you have one and only one pipeline class that inherits from DiffusionPipeline as this will be automatically detected.

How do community pipelines work?

A community pipeline is a class that has to inherit from DiffusionPipeline: https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/api/diffusion_pipeline#diffusers.DiffusionPipeline and that has been added to https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/tree/main/examples/community. The community can load the pipeline code via the custom_pipeline argument from DiffusionPipeline. See docs here: https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/api/diffusion_pipeline#diffusers.DiffusionPipelinehttps://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/api/diffusion_pipeline#diffusers.DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained.custom_pipeline

This means:

The model weights and configs of the pipeline should be loaded from the pretrained_model_name_or_path argument: https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/api/diffusion_pipeline#diffusers.DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained.pretrained_model_name_or_path whereas the code that powers the community pipeline is defined in a file added in https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/tree/main/examples/community

Now, it might very well be that only some of your pipeline components weights can be downloaded from an official repo. The other components should then be passed directly to init as is the case for the ClIP guidance notebook here)

The magic behind all of this is that we load the code directly from GitHub. You can check it out in more detail if you follow the functionality defined here: https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/d3eb3b35bec35f3f4e56b7528577714bf489d464/src/diffusers/pipeline_utils.py#L405 . This is why a community pipeline merged to GitHub will be directly available to all diffusers packages.

So there is no init image support or mask support in DiffusionPipeline()? I don't see it referenced. What is the point of these community pipelines, exactly?

patrickvonplaten commented 1 year ago

Hey @WASasquatch,

Sorry I don't really understand your question here - what does init_image have to do with community pipelines? The point of community pipeline is explained under Why community pipelines? in the section above.

Hey @patrickvonplaten ,

I'm just curious why the DiffusionPipeline method doesn't have init image or inpainting support or does it? So when something like CLIP Guided Stable Diffusion is released, as cool as it is, is limited to just txt2img?

From a "community examples" perspective, coming across this, I wonder; "how do I make this work in a typical diffusers workflow?", using img2img and inpainting refinement and experimentation, not just a txt2img which I feel more a demo or starting point in a lot of techniques (if not starting with an init image)

WASasquatch commented 1 year ago

Looking at all these pipelines. Things are quickly falling apart, imo. Pipelines doing one little thing, and then its own pipeline to manage, is horribly counter-productive. This is falling back to the fundamental issue with diffusers itself, and needing manage tons of pipes in code just to take on certain tasks (like img2img, inpainting), and now what about, clip guided diffusion (still limited to just text2img), or wildcard pipeline being worked on just for wildcards and again, based on limited DiffusionPipeline.

The idea behind community pipelines does not seem flushed. If this was a modular plugin idea, where a pipeline could have plugins that add functionality, it would to make far more sense.

None of this seems to think of the end developers/users and how this is implemented in an efficient, and minimal API philosophy. Give it a couple months, and in order to use all the cool things community pipelines has to offer, you'll have a script 10x the size it needs to be just to implement all these pipes, put in the logic to use the right pipes for the right tasks, etc, etc, essentially building your own API, off an API, to do something...

Like you released the mega community pipeline, which is still kinda useless. It's just a community pipeline which conveniently has img2img and inpainting, but is incompatible with the features one may want, like CLIP Guided Diffusion not being limited to just text2img because it is its own pipe. So what is the point in Mega if it's not useful for any of this?

juancopi81 commented 1 year ago

Hey @patrickvonplaten,

Sorry if it already exists. I did not find it. I was wondering: How would you like a pipeline with multilingual support? Something like:

Receives a prompt text in any (supported?) language.
Detects language of prompt.
If not English, translates to English
Generates image using (translated) prompt

patrickvonplaten commented 1 year ago

Great idea! We could/should definitely add such a pipeline :-)

@patrickvonplaten, great! I could give it a try if it is ok...

bglick13 commented 1 year ago

I recently developed a community pipeline and found it a bit awkward to develop and test before it gets pulled into main.

I think the issue is with how from_pretrained fetches the pipeline file.

If you provide just the pipeline file name, like the documentation suggests, behind the scenes it seems to look for that file on githubcontent on the main branch, which won't work during development.

If you pass your hub repo name, it looks for a pipeline.py file in your repo. This works, but it doesn't seem to download/cache the model_index.json file, which is also required. This means if you try to run your pipeline a second time, it will fail. If I delete my cache and rerun, it works again.

I'm sure my problems were mostly self-inflicted, but I didn't see an obviously better workflow. Is there a suggested workflow for developing community pipelines?

I had the same experience developing my own. There doesn't seem to be a way to specify using a local pipeline file. This is definitely something that could be useful - not just for development!

patrickvonplaten commented 1 year ago

True it'd make sense to allow this! Could you maybe open a seperate issue for it? I'll try to have a look into it soon :-)

HI there

I am considering adding AudioDiffusionPipeline and LatentAudioDiffusuonPipeline from https://github.com/teticio/audio-diffusion/blob/main/audiodiffusion/__init__.py. I found that I was forced to make two separate pipelines as one registers different modules in the constructor. As they share a common codebase, in my implementation I have made LatentAudioDiffusuonPipeline inherit from AudioDiffusionPipeline (and not DiffusionPipeline). I understand from the above that that will mean that it doesn't get automatically detected.

Also, I didn't find an obvious way to test this locally using the custom_pipelines machinery. Is there a way?

Thanks for all the great work you are doing to democratize ML.

patrickvonplaten commented 1 year ago

Hey @teticio,

Thanks for the feedback - there is an open issue about this here: https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/issues/1141 - I'll try to look into it next week :-)

teticio commented 1 year ago

Thanks @patrickvonplaten ! Regarding the issue of inheritance, do you have a recommendation for how to approach this?

patrickvonplaten commented 1 year ago

@teticio could you open a first draft PR maybe to show the design? I'm not 100% sure exactly how the inheritance problem looks like at the moment.

teticio commented 1 year ago

Sure @patrickvonplaten I'm actually in the process of doing this. Although I am integrating it into the main repo. Once it is done (next day or two) you'll be able to see it and it will be clear whether there is a good way to move it to the community pipelines or, if not, maybe it can stay where it is.

patrickvonplaten commented 1 year ago

Loading custom pipeline should now be much easier - sorry for being so late here. https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/pull/1327 should be merged today! cc @bglick13

patrickvonplaten commented 1 year ago

Very cool, just reviewed it :-)

RELNO commented 1 year ago

Hi @patrickvonplaten, thanks for this great guide. I wonder if it make sense to allow loading custom pipelines (CP) not as a filename str only, but also by passing an instance of the CP class, i.e:

cpl = CustomPipeline()
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("xxx/yyy", custom_pipeline=cpl)
pipe()

A use case for that would be a notebook where one can both write a CP class and test it in stiu. (I'm referring to this line in utils)

patrickvonplaten commented 1 year ago

Hey @RELNO,

Wouldn't:

pipe = CustomPipeline.from_pretrained("xxx/yyy")

make more sense then? Think this should work :-)

Wei-Lin-Intel commented 1 year ago

Hi Diffuser Pipeline Community @patrickvonplaten,

Recently our Intel PyTorch extension IPEX has enabled the Flash Attention which can significantly speedup the inference of Stable-Diffusion on CPU with BF16 precision. Since it requires to run torch.jit.trace on UNet and an additional installation of IPEX, I wonder if there is any chance that we can contribute to the Pipeline to accelerate S-D inference on CPU? I am not sure adding the above steps to the Pipeline is allowed or not.

Thanks!

Hey @patrickvonplaten when opening the link you have used above As of diffusers==0.4.0, you can make use of [Community Pipelines](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/using-diffusers/custom_pipelines).

It gives an error The documentation page USING-DIFFUSERS/CUSTOM_PIPELINES doesn’t exist in v0.24.0, but exists on the main version. Click [here](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/main/en/using-diffusers/custom_pipelines) to redirect to the main version of the documentation.

EntroSanity commented 6 months ago

Hey @patrickvonplaten I'm trying to incorporate a custom pipeline named lpw-stable-diffusion_xl into my application. I've noticed that the following snippet does not produce the desired outcome: StableDiffusionPipeline.from_single_file(_path_to_my_safetensor, torch_dtype=torch.float16, custom_pipeline='lpw-stable-diffusion_xl')

In my search for a workaround, I stumbled upon a method that seems promising. However, I'm facing a challenge with specifying the correct argument for the first parameter in the from_pretrained function. Given that all my models are stored locally in safetensor format, attempting to use a path directly to the safetensor leads to a ValueError, indicating the path is incorrect. Could anyone offer advice or a more effective approach for this? StableDiffusionXLPipeline.from_pretrained(_repo_id_, torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True, variant="fp16", custom_pipeline="lpw_stable_diffusion_xl")
