# ControlNet-XS with Stable Diffusion XL

ControlNet-XS was introduced in [ControlNet-XS](https://vislearn.github.io/ControlNet-XS/) by Denis Zavadski and Carsten Rother. It is based on the observation that the control model in the [original ControlNet](https://huggingface.co/papers/2302.05543) can be made much smaller and still produce good results.

Like the original ControlNet model, you can provide an additional control image to condition and control Stable Diffusion generation. For example, if you provide a depth map, the ControlNet model generates an image that'll preserve the spatial information from the depth map. It is a more flexible and accurate way to control the image generation process.

ControlNet-XS generates images with comparable quality to a regular ControlNet, but it is 20-25% faster ([see benchmark](https://github.com/UmerHA/controlnet-xs-benchmark/blob/main/Speed%20Benchmark.ipynb)) and uses ~45% less memory.

Here's the overview from the [project page](https://vislearn.github.io/ControlNet-XS/):

*With increasing computing capabilities, current model architectures appear to follow the trend of simply upscaling all components without validating the necessity for doing so. In this project we investigate the size and architectural design of ControlNet [Zhang et al., 2023] for controlling the image generation process with stable diffusion-based models. We show that a new architecture with as little as 1% of the parameters of the base model achieves state-of-the art results, considerably better than ControlNet in terms of FID score. Hence we call it ControlNet-XS. We provide the code for controlling StableDiffusion-XL [Podell et al., 2023] (Model B, 48M Parameters) and StableDiffusion 2.1 [Rombach et al. 2022] (Model B, 14M Parameters), all under openrail license.*

> [!WARNING]
> 🧪 Many of the SDXL ControlNet checkpoints are experimental, and there is a lot of room for improvement. Feel free to open an [Issue](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/issues/new/choose) and leave us feedback on how we can improve!

> [!TIP]
> Make sure to check out the Schedulers [guide](../../using-diffusers/schedulers) to learn how to explore the tradeoff between scheduler speed and quality, and see the [reuse components across pipelines](../../using-diffusers/loading#reuse-a-pipeline) section to learn how to efficiently load the same components into multiple pipelines.

Pipeline for text-to-image generation using Stable Diffusion XL with ControlNet-XS guidance.

This model inherits from [DiffusionPipeline](/docs/diffusers/main/en/api/pipelines/overview#diffusers.DiffusionPipeline). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods
implemented for all pipelines (downloading, saving, running on a particular device, etc.).

The pipeline also inherits the following loading methods:
- [load_textual_inversion()](/docs/diffusers/main/en/api/loaders/textual_inversion#diffusers.loaders.TextualInversionLoaderMixin.load_textual_inversion) for loading textual inversion embeddings
- [loaders.StableDiffusionXLLoraLoaderMixin.load_lora_weights()](/docs/diffusers/main/en/api/loaders/lora#diffusers.loaders.StableDiffusionXLLoraLoaderMixin.load_lora_weights) for loading LoRA weights
- [loaders.FromSingleFileMixin.from_single_file()](/docs/diffusers/main/en/api/loaders/single_file#diffusers.loaders.FromSingleFileMixin.from_single_file) for loading `.ckpt` files

  The prompt or prompts to guide image generation. If not defined, you need to pass `prompt_embeds`.
- **prompt_2** (`str` or `List[str]`, *optional*) --
  The prompt or prompts to be sent to `tokenizer_2` and `text_encoder_2`. If not defined, `prompt` is
  used in both text-encoders.
- **image** (`torch.Tensor`, `PIL.Image.Image`, `np.ndarray`, `List[torch.Tensor]`, `List[PIL.Image.Image]`, `List[np.ndarray]`, --
  `List[List[torch.Tensor]]`, `List[List[np.ndarray]]` or `List[List[PIL.Image.Image]]`):
  The ControlNet input condition to provide guidance to the `unet` for generation. If the type is
  specified as `torch.Tensor`, it is passed to ControlNet as is. `PIL.Image.Image` can also be accepted
  as an image. The dimensions of the output image defaults to `image`'s dimensions. If height and/or
  width are passed, `image` is resized accordingly. If multiple ControlNets are specified in `init`,
  images must be passed as a list such that each element of the list can be correctly batched for input
  to a single ControlNet.
- **height** (`int`, *optional*, defaults to `self.unet.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor`) --
  The height in pixels of the generated image. Anything below 512 pixels won't work well for
  [stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0)
  and checkpoints that are not specifically fine-tuned on low resolutions.
- **width** (`int`, *optional*, defaults to `self.unet.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor`) --
  The width in pixels of the generated image. Anything below 512 pixels won't work well for
  [stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0)
  and checkpoints that are not specifically fine-tuned on low resolutions.
- **num_inference_steps** (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 50) --
  The number of denoising steps. More denoising steps usually lead to a higher quality image at the
  expense of slower inference.
- **guidance_scale** (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 5.0) --
  A higher guidance scale value encourages the model to generate images closely linked to the text
  `prompt` at the expense of lower image quality. Guidance scale is enabled when `guidance_scale > 1`.
- **negative_prompt** (`str` or `List[str]`, *optional*) --
  The prompt or prompts to guide what to not include in image generation. If not defined, you need to
  pass `negative_prompt_embeds` instead. Ignored when not using guidance (`guidance_scale 0`~pipelines.stable_diffusion.StableDiffusionXLPipelineOutput` or `tuple`If `return_dict` is `True`, `~pipelines.stable_diffusion.StableDiffusionXLPipelineOutput` is
returned, otherwise a `tuple` is returned containing the output images.
