Introduction

We introduce DeepCache, a novel training-free and almost lossless paradigm that accelerates diffusion models from the perspective of model architecture. Utilizing the property of the U-Net, we reuse the high-level features while updating the low-level features in a very cheap way. DeepCache accelerates Stable Diffusion v1.5 by 2.3x with only a 0.05 decline in CLIP Score, and LDM-4-G(ImageNet) by 4.1x with a 0.22 decrease in FID.

Quick Start

Install

pip install DeepCache

Usage

import torch

# Loading the original pipeline
from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline
pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained('runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5', torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda:0")

# Import the DeepCacheSDHelper
from DeepCache import DeepCacheSDHelper
helper = DeepCacheSDHelper(pipe=pipe)
helper.set_params(
    cache_interval=3,
    cache_branch_id=0,
)
helper.enable()

# Generate Image
deepcache_image = pipe(
        prompt,
        output_type='pt'
).images[0]
helper.disable()

We here take the Stable Diffusion pipeline as an example. You can replace pipe with any variants of the Stable Diffusion pipeline, including choices like SDXL, SVD, and more. You can find examples in the script. The argument cache_branch_id specifies the selected skip branch. For the skip branches that are deeper, the model will engage them only during the caching steps, and exclude them during the retrieval steps. The argument cache_interval represents the interval for updating the cache.

A general script for SD

python main.py --model_type sdxl #Support [sdxl, sd1.5, sd2.1, svd, sd-inpaint, sdxl-inpaint, sd-img2img]

Experimental code for DeepCache

The above implementation does not require changes to the forward or __call__ functions in the Diffusers pipeline, and is, therefore, more general. The following section is the experimental code that can be used to reproduce the results in the paper. It is implemented one by one for different model structures and pipelines, and thus, may not work properly due to the update of diffusers.

Setup

pip install diffusers==0.24.0 transformers

Stable Diffusion XL

python stable_diffusion_xl.py --model stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0
