v0.9.0: Stable Diffusion 2
pip install diffusers[torch]==0.9 transformers
Stable Diffusion 2.0 is available in several flavors:
768x768New stable diffusion model (Stable Diffusion 2.0-v) at 768x768 resolution. Same number of parameters in the U-Net as 1.5, but uses OpenCLIP-ViT/H as the text encoder and is trained from scratch. SD 2.0-v is a so-called v-prediction model.

pipe = pipe.to("cuda")
prompt = "High quality photo of an astronaut riding a horse in space"
image = pipe(prompt, guidance_scale=9, num_inference_steps=25).images[0]
image.save("astronaut.png")
512x512The above model is finetuned from SD 2.0-base, which was trained as a standard noise-prediction model on 512x512 images and is also made available.

This model for text-guided inpanting is finetuned from SD 2.0-base. Follows the mask-generation strategy presented in LAMA which, in combination with the latent VAE representations of the masked image, are used as an additional conditioning.

The model was trained on crops of size 512x512 and is a text-guided latent upscaling diffusion model. In addition to the textual input, it receives a noise_level as an input parameter, which can be used to add noise to the low-resolution input according to a predefined diffusion schedule.

Previously there was a :bug: when saving & loading versatile diffusion - this is fixed now so that memory efficient saving & loading works as expected.
