mingyi456/Chroma1-Flash-DF11

Being a distilled model, this model requires different parameters to run optimally compared to the undistilled Chroma1-HD version. However, after quite a while of testing, I am unable to determine what settings to use. The model card is blank, but the commit message by the author says "use heun 8 steps CFG=1". Sadly, trying to use HeunDiscreteScheduler or FlowMatchHeunDiscreteScheduler with this model causes the pipeline to fail, presumably due to this issue with the diffusers library. Thus, I decided to omit the line of code that calls the pipeline in the sample code below. If you have any ideas or suggestions on how this model can currently be used in the diffusers library, do post a comment and maybe we can discuss this further.

This is my first time using DF11 to compress a model outside the Flux architecture. The process for compressing Flux-based models is much more straightforward as compared to other architectures because the compression code requires a pattern_dict as input, but the original example code only provides it for Flux, which meant I had to learn the notation myself and modify it to fit other models. At least Chroma is just a pruned version of Flux, so it was relatively simple to derive the correct pattern_dict this time. Do let me know if you run into any problems.

This is the pattern_dict I used for compression:

pattern_dict = {
    "transformer_blocks\.\d+": (
        "attn.to_q",
        "attn.to_k",
        "attn.to_v",
        "attn.add_k_proj",
        "attn.add_v_proj",
        "attn.add_q_proj",
        "attn.to_out.0",
        "attn.to_add_out",
        "ff.net.0.proj",
        "ff.net.2",
        "ff_context.net.0.proj",
        "ff_context.net.2",
    ),
    "single_transformer_blocks\.\d+": (
        "proj_mlp",
        "proj_out",
        "attn.to_q",
        "attn.to_k",
        "attn.to_v",
    ),
}

How to Use

diffusers

1. Install the DFloat11 pip package (installs the CUDA kernel automatically; requires a CUDA-compatible GPU and PyTorch installed):

   pip install dfloat11[cuda12]
   # or if you have CUDA version 11:
   # pip install dfloat11[cuda11]
   

2. To use the DFloat11 model, run the following example code in Python:

   import torch
   from diffusers import ChromaPipeline, ChromaTransformer2DModel
   from dfloat11 import DFloat11Model
   from transformers.modeling_utils import no_init_weights
   with no_init_weights():
       transformer = ChromaTransformer2DModel.from_config(
           ChromaTransformer2DModel.load_config(
               "lodestones/Chroma1-Flash",
               subfolder="transformer"
           ),
           torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
       ).to(torch.bfloat16)
      
   pipe = ChromaPipeline.from_pretrained(
       "lodestones/Chroma1-Flash",
       transformer=transformer,
       torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
   )
   DFloat11Model.from_pretrained("mingyi456/Chroma1-Flash-DF11", device='cpu', bfloat16_model=pipe.transformer)
   pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()
   prompt = "A high-fashion close-up portrait of a blonde woman in clear sunglasses. The image uses a bold teal and red color split for dramatic lighting. The background is a simple teal-green. The photo is sharp and well-composed, and is designed for viewing with anaglyph 3D glasses for optimal effect. It looks professionally done."
   negative_prompt = "low quality, ugly, unfinished, out of focus, deformed, disfigure, blurry, smudged, restricted palette, flat colors"
   
   # Call the pipeline with your own parameters, I am not sure what are the optimal settings for this model in `diffusers`
