stable-diffusion.cpp

Inference of Stable Diffusion in pure C/C++

Features

Plain C/C++ implementation based on ggml, working in the same way as llama.cpp
16-bit, 32-bit float support
4-bit, 5-bit and 8-bit integer quantization support
Accelerated memory-efficient CPU inference
- Only requires ~2.3GB when using txt2img with fp16 precision to generate a 512x512 image
AVX, AVX2 and AVX512 support for x86 architectures
SD1.x and SD2.x support
Original txt2img and img2img mode
Negative prompt
stable-diffusion-webui style tokenizer (not all the features, only token weighting for now)
Sampling method
- Euler A
- Euler
- Heun
- DPM2
- DPM++ 2M
- DPM++ 2M v2
- DPM++ 2S a
Cross-platform reproducibility (--rng cuda, consistent with the stable-diffusion-webui GPU RNG)
Embedds generation parameters into png output as webui-compatible text string
Supported platforms
- Linux
- Mac OS
- Windows
- Android (via Termux)

TODO

More sampling methods
GPU support
Make inference faster
- The current implementation of ggml_conv_2d is slow and has high memory usage
Continuing to reduce memory usage (quantizing the weights of ggml_conv_2d)
LoRA support
k-quants support

Usage

Get the Code

git clone --recursive https://github.com/leejet/stable-diffusion.cpp
cd stable-diffusion.cpp

If you have already cloned the repository, you can use the following command to update the repository to the latest code.

cd stable-diffusion.cpp
git pull origin master
git submodule init
git submodule update

Convert weights

download original weights(.ckpt or .safetensors). For example

Stable Diffusion v1.4 from https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v-1-4-original
Stable Diffusion v1.5 from https://huggingface.co/runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5
Stable Diffuison v2.1 from https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-1

curl -L -O https://huggingface.co/CompVis/stable-diffusion-v-1-4-original/resolve/main/sd-v1-4.ckpt
# curl -L -O https://huggingface.co/runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5/resolve/main/v1-5-pruned-emaonly.safetensors
# curl -L -O https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-1/blob/main/v2-1_768-nonema-pruned.safetensors

convert weights to ggml model format

cd models
pip install -r requirements.txt
python convert.py [path to weights] --out_type [output precision]
# For example, python convert.py sd-v1-4.ckpt --out_type f16

Quantization

You can specify the output model format using the --out_type parameter

f16 for 16-bit floating-point
f32 for 32-bit floating-point
q8_0 for 8-bit integer quantization
q5_0 or q5_1 for 5-bit integer quantization
q4_0 or q4_1 for 4-bit integer quantization

Build

Build from scratch

mkdir build

Run

usage: ./bin/sd [arguments]

arguments:
  -h, --help                         show this help message and exit
  -M, --mode [txt2img or img2img]    generation mode (default: txt2img)
  -t, --threads N                    number of threads to use during computation (default: -1).
                                     If threads <= 0, then threads will be set to the number of CPU physical cores
  -m, --model [MODEL]                path to model
  -i, --init-img [IMAGE]             path to the input image, required by img2img
  -o, --output OUTPUT                path to write result image to (default: .\output.png)
  -p, --prompt [PROMPT]              the prompt to render
  -n, --negative-prompt PROMPT       the negative prompt (default: "")
  --cfg-scale SCALE                  unconditional guidance scale: (default: 7.0)
  --strength STRENGTH                strength for noising/unnoising (default: 0.75)
                                     1.0 corresponds to full destruction of information in init image
  -H, --height H                     image height, in pixel space (default: 512)
  -W, --width W                      image width, in pixel space (default: 512)
  --sampling-method {euler, euler_a, heun, dpm++2m, dpm++2mv2}

  --steps  STEPS                     number of sample steps (default: 20)
  --rng {std_default, cuda}          RNG (default: cuda)

txt2img example

./bin/sd -m ../models/sd-v1-4-ggml-model-f16.bin -p "a lovely cat"

Using formats of different precisions will yield results of varying quality.

f32	f16	q8_0	q5_0	q5_1	q4_0	q4_1

img2img example

./output.png is the image generated from the above txt2img pipeline

./bin/sd --mode img2img -m ../models/sd-v1-4-ggml-model-f16.bin -p "cat with blue eyes" -i ./output.png -o ./img2img_output.png --strength 0.4
