Stable Diffusion 3.5

Inference-only tiny reference implementation of SD3.5 and SD3 - everything you need for simple inference using SD3.5/SD3, as well as the SD3.5 Large ControlNets, excluding the weights files.

Contains code for the text encoders (OpenAI CLIP-L/14, OpenCLIP bigG, Google T5-XXL) (these models are all public), the VAE Decoder (similar to previous SD models, but 16-channels and no postquantconv step), and the core MM-DiT (entirely new).

Note: this repo is a reference library meant to assist partner organizations in implementing SD3.5/SD3. For alternate inference, use Comfy.

Download

Download the following models from HuggingFace into models directory:

1. Stability AI SD3.5 Large or Stability AI SD3.5 Large Turbo or Stability AI SD3.5 Medium
2. OpenAI CLIP-L
3. OpenCLIP bigG
4. Google T5-XXL

This code also works for Stability AI SD3 Medium.

ControlNets

Optionally, download SD3.5 Large ControlNets:

• Blur ControlNet
• Canny ControlNet
• Depth ControlNet

from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
hf_hub_download("stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3.5-controlnets", "sd3.5_large_controlnet_blur.safetensors", local_dir="models")
hf_hub_download("stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3.5-controlnets", "sd3.5_large_controlnet_canny.safetensors", local_dir="models")
hf_hub_download("stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3.5-controlnets", "sd3.5_large_controlnet_depth.safetensors", local_dir="models")

Install

# Note: on windows use "python" not "python3"
python3 -s -m venv .sd3.5
source .sd3.5/bin/activate
# or on windows: venv/scripts/activate
python3 -s -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Run

# Generate a cat using SD3.5 Large model (at models/sd3.5_large.safetensors) with its default settings
python3 sd3_infer.py --prompt "cute wallpaper art of a cat"
# Or use a text file with a list of prompts, using SD3.5 Large
python3 sd3_infer.py --prompt path/to/my_prompts.txt --model models/sd3.5_large.safetensors
# Generate from prompt file using SD3.5 Large Turbo with its default settings
python3 sd3_infer.py --prompt path/to/my_prompts.txt --model models/sd3.5_large_turbo.safetensors
# Generate from prompt file using SD3.5 Medium with its default settings, at 2k resolution
python3 sd3_infer.py --prompt path/to/my_prompts.txt --model models/sd3.5_medium.safetensors --width 1920 --height 1080
# Generate from prompt file using SD3 Medium with its default settings
python3 sd3_infer.py --prompt path/to/my_prompts.txt --model models/sd3_medium.safetensors

Images will be output to outputs/<MODEL>/<PROMPT>_<DATETIME>_<POSTFIX> by default. To add a postfix to the output directory, add --postfix <my_postfix>. For example,

python3 sd3_infer.py --prompt path/to/my_prompts.txt --postfix "steps100" --steps 100

To change the resolution of the generated image, add --width <WIDTH> --height <HEIGHT>.

Optionally, use Skip Layer Guidance for potentially better struture and anatomy coherency from SD3.5-Medium.

python3 sd3_infer.py --prompt path/to/my_prompts.txt --model models/sd3.5_medium.safetensors --skip_layer_cfg True

ControlNets

To use SD3.5 Large ControlNets, additionally download your chosen ControlNet model from the model repository, then run inference, like so:

• Blur:

python sd3_infer.py --model models/sd3.5_large.safetensors --controlnet_ckpt models/sd3.5_large_controlnet_blur.safetensors --controlnet_cond_image inputs/blur.png --prompt "generated ai art, a tiny, lost rubber ducky in an action shot close-up, surfing the humongous waves, inside the tube, in the style of Kelly Slater"

• Canny:

python sd3_infer.py --model models/sd3.5_large.safetensors --controlnet_ckpt models/sd3.5_large_controlnet_canny.safetensors --controlnet_cond_image inputs/canny.png --prompt "A Night time photo taken by Leica M11, portrait of a Japanese woman in a kimono, looking at the camera, Cherry blossoms"

• Depth:

python sd3_infer.py --model models/sd3.5_large.safetensors --controlnet_ckpt models/sd3.5_large_controlnet_depth.safetensors --controlnet_cond_image inputs/depth.png --prompt "photo of woman, presumably in her mid-thirties, striking a balanced yoga pose on a rocky outcrop during dusk or dawn. She wears a light gray t-shirt and dark leggings. Her pose is dynamic, with one leg extended backward and the other bent at the knee, holding the moon close to her hand."

For details on preprocessing for each of the ControlNets, and examples, please review the model card.
