Run time and cost

This model costs approximately $0.040 to run on Replicate, or 25 runs per $1, but this varies depending on your inputs. It is also open source and you can run it on your own computer with Docker.

This model runs on Nvidia A40 (Large) GPU hardware. Predictions typically complete within 56 seconds. The predict time for this model varies significantly based on the inputs.

Readme

This is an implementation of PixArt-alpha/PixArt-XL-2-1024-MS.

About

Pixart-α consists of pure transformer blocks for latent diffusion: It can directly generate 1024px images from text prompts within a single sampling process.

Source code is available at https://github.com/PixArt-alpha/PixArt-alpha.

Model Description

  • Developed by: Pixart-α
  • Model type: Diffusion-Transformer-based text-to-image generative model
  • License: CreativeML Open RAIL++-M License
  • Model Description: This is a model that can be used to generate and modify images based on text prompts. It is a Transformer Latent Diffusion Model that uses one fixed, pretrained text encoders (T5)) and one latent feature encoder (VAE).
  • Resources for more information: Check out our GitHub Repository and the Pixart-α report on arXiv.

Model Sources

For research purposes, we recommend our generative-models Github repository (https://github.com/PixArt-alpha/PixArt-alpha), which is more suitable for both training and inference and for which most advanced diffusion sampler like SA-Solver will be added over time. Hugging Face provides free Pixart-α inference.

Training Efficiency

PixArt-α only takes 10.8% of Stable Diffusion v1.5’s training time (675 vs. 6,250 A100 GPU days), saving nearly $300,000 ($26,000 vs. $320,000) and reducing 90% CO2 emissions. Moreover, compared with a larger SOTA model, RAPHAEL, our training cost is merely 1%. alt text

Evaluation
