Welcome to x-stable-diffusion by Stochastic!

This project is a compilation of acceleration techniques for the Stable Diffusion model to help you generate images faster and more efficiently, saving you both time and money.

With example images and a comprehensive benchmark, you can easily choose the best technique for your needs. When you're ready to deploy, our CLI called stochasticx makes it easy to get started on your local machine. Try x-stable-diffusion and see the difference it can make for your image generation performance and cost savings.

πŸš€ Installation

Quickstart

Make sure you have Python and Docker installed on your system

  1. Install the latest version of stochasticx library.
pip install stochasticx
  1. Deploy the Stable Diffusion model
stochasticx stable-diffusion deploy --type aitemplate

Alternatively, you can deploy stable diffusion without our CLI by checking the steps here.

  1. To perform inference with this deployed model:
stochasticx stable-diffusion inference --prompt "Riding a horse"

Check all the options of the inference command:

stochasticx stable-diffusion inference --help
  1. You can get the logs of the deployment executing the following command:
stochasticx stable-diffusion logs
  1. Stop and remove the deployment with this command:
stochasticx stable-diffusion stop

How to get less than 1s latency?

Change the num_inference_steps to 30. With this, you can get an image generated in 0.88 seconds.

{
  'max_seq_length': 64,
  'num_inference_steps': 30, 
  'image_size': (512, 512) 
}

You can also experiment with reducing the image_size.

How to run on Google Colab?

In each folder, we will provide a Google Colab notebook with which you can test the full flow and inference on a T4 GPU

Manual deployment

Benchmarks

Setup

For hardware, we used 1x40GB A100 GPU with CUDA 11.6 and the results are reported by averaging 50 runs.

The following arguments were used for image generation for all the benchmarks:

{
  'max_seq_length': 64,
  'num_inference_steps': 50, 
  'image_size': (512, 512) 
}

Note: TensorRT fails to convert UNet model from ONNX to TensorRT due to memory issues.
