# KDPM2DiscreteScheduler

The `KDPM2DiscreteScheduler` is inspired by the [Elucidating the Design Space of Diffusion-Based Generative Models](https://huggingface.co/papers/2206.00364) paper, and the scheduler is ported from and created by [Katherine Crowson](https://github.com/crowsonkb/).

The original codebase can be found at [crowsonkb/k-diffusion](https://github.com/crowsonkb/k-diffusion).

  Sampling is All You Need](https://huggingface.co/papers/2407.12173) for more information.
- **prediction_type** (`str`, defaults to `epsilon`, *optional*) --
  Prediction type of the scheduler function; can be `epsilon` (predicts the noise of the diffusion process),

  Video](https://imagen.research.google/video/paper.pdf) paper).
- **timestep_spacing** (`str`, defaults to `"linspace"`) --
  The way the timesteps should be scaled. Refer to Table 2 of the [Common Diffusion Noise Schedules and
  Sample Steps are Flawed](https://huggingface.co/papers/2305.08891) for more information.

  An offset added to the inference steps, as required by some model families.</paramsdesc><paramgroups>0</paramgroups></docstring>

KDPM2DiscreteScheduler is inspired by the DPMSolver2 and Algorithm 2 from the [Elucidating the Design Space of
Diffusion-Based Generative Models](https://huggingface.co/papers/2206.00364) paper.

This model inherits from [SchedulerMixin](/docs/diffusers/main/en/api/schedulers/overview#diffusers.SchedulerMixin) and [ConfigMixin](/docs/diffusers/main/en/api/configuration#diffusers.ConfigMixin). Check the superclass documentation for the generic
methods the library implements for all schedulers such as loading and saving.

Predict the sample from the previous timestep by reversing the SDE. This function propagates the diffusion
process from the learned model outputs (most often the predicted noise).
