Image generation with Latent Consistency Model and OpenVINO

This Jupyter notebook can be launched after a local installation only.

LCMs: The next generation of generative models after Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs). Latent Diffusion models (LDMs) have achieved remarkable results in synthesizing high-resolution images. However, the iterative sampling is computationally intensive and leads to slow generation.

Inspired by Consistency Models, Latent Consistency Models (LCMs) were proposed, enabling swift inference with minimal steps on any pre-trained LDMs, including Stable Diffusion. The Consistency Model (CM) (Song et al., 2023) is a new family of generative models that enables one-step or few-step generation. The core idea of the CM is to learn the function that maps any points on a trajectory of the PF-ODE (probability flow of ordinary differential equation) to that trajectory’s origin (i.e., the solution of the PF-ODE). By learning consistency mappings that maintain point consistency on ODE-trajectory, these models allow for single-step generation, eliminating the need for computation-intensive iterations. However, CM is constrained to pixel space image generation tasks, making it unsuitable for synthesizing high-resolution images. LCMs adopt a consistency model in the image latent space for generation high-resolution images. Viewing the guided reverse diffusion process as solving an augmented probability flow ODE (PF-ODE), LCMs are designed to directly predict the solution of such ODE in latent space, mitigating the need for numerous iterations and allowing rapid, high-fidelity sampling. Utilizing image latent space in large-scale diffusion models like Stable Diffusion (SD) has effectively enhanced image generation quality and reduced computational load. The authors of LCMs provide a simple and efficient one-stage guided consistency distillation method named Latent Consistency Distillation (LCD) to distill SD for few-step (2∼4) or even 1-step sampling and propose the SKIPPING-STEP technique to further accelerate the convergence. More details about proposed approach and models can be found in project page, paper and original repository.

In this tutorial, we consider how to convert and run LCM using OpenVINO. An additional part demonstrates how to run quantization with NNCF to speed up pipeline.

%pip install -q "openvino>=2024.3.0" transformers "diffusers>=0.30.1" pillow "gradio>=4.19" "nncf>=2.12.0" "datasets>=2.14.6" --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu

Prepare models for OpenVINO format conversion

In this tutorial we will use LCM_Dreamshaper_v7 from HuggingFace hub. This model distilled from Dreamshaper v7 fine-tune of Stable-Diffusion v1-5 using Latent Consistency Distillation (LCD) approach discussed above. This model is also integrated into Diffusers library. Diffusers is the go-to library for state-of-the-art pretrained diffusion models for generating images, audio, and even 3D structures of molecules. This allows us to compare running original Stable Diffusion (from this notebook) and distilled using LCD. The distillation approach efficiently converts a pre-trained guided diffusion model into a latent consistency model by solving an augmented PF-ODE.

For starting work with LCM, we should instantiate generation pipeline first. DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained method download all pipeline components for LCM and configure them. This model uses custom inference pipeline stored as part of model repository, we also should provide which module should be loaded for initialization using custom_pipeline argument and revision for it.

Convert models to OpenVINO format

Starting from 2023.0 release, OpenVINO supports PyTorch models directly via Model Conversion API. ov.convert_model function accepts instance of PyTorch model and example inputs for tracing and returns object of ov.Model class, ready to use or save on disk using ov.save_model function.

Like original Stable Diffusion pipeline, the LCM pipeline consists of three important parts:

• Text Encoder to create condition to generate an image from a text prompt.

• U-Net for step-by-step denoising latent image representation.

• Autoencoder (VAE) for decoding latent space to image.

Let us convert each part:

Text Encoder

The text-encoder is responsible for transforming the input prompt, for example, “a photo of an astronaut riding a horse” into an embedding space that can be understood by the U-Net. It is usually a simple transformer-based encoder that maps a sequence of input tokens to a sequence of latent text embeddings.

Input of the text encoder is the tensor input_ids which contains indexes of tokens from text processed by tokenizer and padded to maximum length accepted by model. Model outputs are two tensors: last_hidden_state - hidden state from the last MultiHeadAttention layer in the model and pooler_out - Pooled output for whole model hidden states.

else:
    print(f"Text encoder will be loaded from {TEXT_ENCODER_OV_PATH}")

del text_encoder
gc.collect();

U-Net

U-Net model, similar to Stable Diffusion UNet model, has four inputs:

• sample - latent image sample from previous step. Generation process has not been started yet, so you will use random noise.

• timestep - current scheduler step.

• encoder_hidden_state - hidden state of text encoder.

• timestep_cond - timestep condition for generation. This input is not present in original Stable Diffusion U-Net model and introduced by LCM for improving generation quality using Classifier-Free Guidance. Classifier-free guidance (CFG) is crucial for synthesizing high-quality text-aligned images in Stable Diffusion, because it controls how similar the generated image will be to the prompt. In Latent Consistency Models, CFG serves as augmentation parameter for PF-ODE.

Model predicts the sample state for the next step.

    convert_unet(unet, UNET_OV_PATH)
else:
    print(f"Unet will be loaded from {UNET_OV_PATH}")
del unet
gc.collect();

VAE

The VAE model has two parts, an encoder and a decoder. The encoder is used to convert the image into a low dimensional latent representation, which will serve as the input to the U-Net model. The decoder, conversely, transforms the latent representation back into an image.

During latent diffusion training, the encoder is used to get the latent representations (latents) of the images for the forward diffusion process, which applies more and more noise at each step. During inference, the denoised latents generated by the reverse diffusion process are converted back into images using the VAE decoder. When you run inference for text-to-image, there is no initial image as a starting point. You can skip this step and directly generate initial random noise.

In our inference pipeline, we will not use VAE encoder part and skip its conversion for reducing memory consumption. The process of conversion VAE encoder, can be found in Stable Diffusion notebook.

Prepare inference pipeline

Putting it all together, let us now take a closer look at how the model works in inference by illustrating the logical flow.

lcm-pipeline

The pipeline takes a latent image representation and a text prompt is transformed to text embedding via CLIP’s text encoder as an input. The initial latent image representation generated using random noise generator. In difference, with original Stable Diffusion pipeline, LCM also uses guidance scale for getting timestep conditional embeddings as input for diffusion process, while in Stable Diffusion, it used for scaling output latents.

Next, the U-Net iteratively denoises the random latent image representations while being conditioned on the text embeddings. The output of the U-Net, being the noise residual, is used to compute a denoised latent image representation via a scheduler algorithm. LCM introduces own scheduling algorithm that extends the denoising procedure introduced in denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPMs) with non-Markovian guidance. The denoising process is repeated given number of times (by default 50 in original SD pipeline, but for LCM small number of steps required ~2-8) to step-by-step retrieve better latent image representations. When complete, the latent image representation is decoded by the decoder part of the variational auto encoder.

Configure Inference Pipeline

First, you should create instances of OpenVINO Model and compile it using selected device. Select device from dropdown list for running inference using OpenVINO.

core = ov.Core()

import requests

r = requests.get(
    url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino_notebooks/latest/utils/notebook_utils.py",
)
open("notebook_utils.py", "w").write(r.text)

from notebook_utils import device_widget

device = device_widget()

device

Dropdown(description='Device:', options=('CPU', 'AUTO'), value='CPU')

text_enc = core.compile_model(TEXT_ENCODER_OV_PATH, device.value)
unet_model = core.compile_model(UNET_OV_PATH, device.value)

ov_config = {"INFERENCE_PRECISION_HINT": "f32"} if device.value != "CPU" else {}

vae_decoder = core.compile_model(VAE_DECODER_OV_PATH, device.value, ov_config)

Model tokenizer and scheduler are also important parts of the pipeline. This pipeline is also can use Safety Checker, the filter for detecting that corresponding generated image contains “not-safe-for-work” (nsfw) content. The process of nsfw content detection requires to obtain image embeddings using CLIP model, so additionally feature extractor component should be added in the pipeline. We reuse tokenizer, feature extractor, scheduler and safety checker from original LCM pipeline.

ov_pipe = OVLatentConsistencyModelPipeline(
    tokenizer=tokenizer,
    text_encoder=text_enc,
    unet=unet_model,
    vae_decoder=vae_decoder,
    scheduler=scheduler,
    feature_extractor=feature_extractor,
    safety_checker=safety_checker,
)

Text-to-image generation

Now, let’s see model in action

prompt = "a beautiful pink unicorn, 8k"
num_inference_steps = 4
torch.manual_seed(1234567)

images = ov_pipe(
    prompt=prompt,
    num_inference_steps=num_inference_steps,
    guidance_scale=8.0,
    lcm_origin_steps=50,
    output_type="pil",
    height=512,
    width=512,
).images

Nice. As you can see, the picture has quite a high definition 🔥.

Quantization

NNCF enables post-training quantization by adding quantization layers into model graph and then using a subset of the training dataset to initialize the parameters of these additional quantization layers. Quantized operations are executed in INT8 instead of FP32/FP16 making model inference faster.

According to LatentConsistencyModelPipeline structure, UNet used for iterative denoising of input. It means that model runs in the cycle repeating inference on each diffusion step, while other parts of pipeline take part only once. That is why computation cost and speed of UNet denoising becomes the critical path in the pipeline. Quantizing the rest of the SD pipeline does not significantly improve inference performance but can lead to a substantial degradation of accuracy.

The optimization process contains the following steps:

1. Create a calibration dataset for quantization.

2. Run nncf.quantize() to obtain quantized model.

3. Save the INT8 model using openvino.save_model() function.

Please select below whether you would like to run quantization to improve model inference speed.

from notebook_utils import quantization_widget

skip_for_device = "GPU" in device.value
to_quantize = quantization_widget(not skip_for_device)

Compare inference time of the FP16 and INT8 models

To measure the inference performance of the FP16 and INT8 pipelines, we use median inference time on calibration subset.

NOTE: For the most accurate performance estimation, it is recommended to run benchmark_app in a terminal/command prompt after closing other applications.
