## ComponentSpec[[diffusers.ComponentSpec]]

#### diffusers.ComponentSpec[[diffusers.ComponentSpec]]

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/main/src/diffusers/modular_pipelines/modular_pipeline_utils.py#L72)

Specification for a pipeline component.

A component can be created in two ways:
1. From scratch using __init__ with a config dict
2. using `from_pretrained`

creatediffusers.ComponentSpec.createhttps://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/main/src/diffusers/modular_pipelines/modular_pipeline_utils.py#L241[{"name": "config", "val": ": typing.Union[diffusers.configuration_utils.FrozenDict, typing.Dict[str, typing.Any], NoneType] = None"}, {"name": "**kwargs", "val": ""}]
Create component using from_config with config.

**Parameters:**

name : Name of the component

type_hint : Type of the component (e.g. UNet2DConditionModel)

description : Optional description of the component

config : Optional config dict for __init__ creation

pretrained_model_name_or_path : Optional pretrained_model_name_or_path path for from_pretrained creation

subfolder : Optional subfolder in pretrained_model_name_or_path

variant : Optional variant in pretrained_model_name_or_path

revision : Optional revision in pretrained_model_name_or_path

default_creation_method : Preferred creation method - "from_config" or "from_pretrained"
#### decode_load_id[[diffusers.ComponentSpec.decode_load_id]]

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/main/src/diffusers/modular_pipelines/modular_pipeline_utils.py#L202)

Decode a load_id string back into a dictionary of loading fields and values.

**Parameters:**

load_id : The load_id string to decode, format: "pretrained_model_name_or_path|subfolder|variant|revision" where None values are represented as "null"

**Returns:**

Dict mapping loading field names to their values. e.g. {
"pretrained_model_name_or_path": "path/to/repo", "subfolder": "subfolder", "variant": "variant",
"revision": "revision"
} If a segment value is "null", it's replaced with None. Returns None if load_id is "null" (indicating
component not created with `load` method).

Currently supports:
- Components created with `ComponentSpec.load()` method
- Components that are ConfigMixin subclasses but not nn.Modules (e.g. schedulers, guiders)

**Parameters:**

name : Name of the component

component : Component object to create spec from

**Returns:**

ComponentSpec object
#### load[[diffusers.ComponentSpec.load]]

## ConfigSpec[[diffusers.modular_pipelines.ConfigSpec]]

#### diffusers.modular_pipelines.ConfigSpec[[diffusers.modular_pipelines.ConfigSpec]]

## ComponentsManager[[diffusers.ComponentsManager]]

#### diffusers.ComponentsManager[[diffusers.ComponentsManager]]

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/main/src/diffusers/modular_pipelines/components_manager.py#L285)

A central registry and management system for model components across multiple pipelines.

[ComponentsManager](/docs/diffusers/main/en/api/modular_diffusers/pipeline_components#diffusers.ComponentsManager) provides a unified way to register, track, and reuse model components (like UNet, VAE, text
encoders, etc.) across different modular pipelines. It includes features for duplicate detection, memory
management, and component organization.

> [!WARNING] > This is an experimental feature and is likely to change in the future.

Example:
```python
from diffusers import ComponentsManager

# Create a components manager
cm = ComponentsManager()

# Add components
cm.add("unet", unet_model, collection="sdxl")
cm.add("vae", vae_model, collection="sdxl")

# Enable auto offloading
cm.enable_auto_cpu_offload()

# Retrieve components
unet = cm.get_one(name="unet", collection="sdxl")
```

- **collection** (Optional[str]) -- The collection to add the component to0strThe unique component ID, which is generated as "{name}_{id(component)}" where
id(component) is Python's built-in unique identifier for the object

Add a component to the ComponentsManager.

**Parameters:**

name (str) : The name of the component

component (Any) : The component to add

collection (Optional[str]) : The collection to add the component to

**Returns:**

`str`

The unique component ID, which is generated as "{name}_{id(component)}" where
id(component) is Python's built-in unique identifier for the object
#### disable_auto_cpu_offload[[diffusers.ComponentsManager.disable_auto_cpu_offload]]

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/main/src/diffusers/modular_pipelines/components_manager.py#L735)

Disable automatic CPU offloading for all components.
#### enable_auto_cpu_offload[[diffusers.ComponentsManager.enable_auto_cpu_offload]]

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/main/src/diffusers/modular_pipelines/components_manager.py#L686)

Enable automatic CPU offloading for all components.

The algorithm works as follows:
1. All models start on CPU by default
2. When a model's forward pass is called, it's moved to the execution device
3. If there's insufficient memory, other models on the device are moved back to CPU
4. The system tries to offload the smallest combination of models that frees enough memory
5. Models stay on the execution device until another model needs memory and forces them off

**Parameters:**

device (Union[str, int, torch.device]) : The execution device where models are moved for forward passes

memory_reserve_margin (str) : The memory reserve margin to use, default is 3GB. This is the amount of memory to keep free on the device to avoid running out of memory during model execution (e.g., for intermediate activations, gradients, etc.)
