AuraFlow

AuraFlow is inspired by Stable Diffusion 3 and is by far the largest text-to-image generation model that comes with an Apache 2.0 license. This model achieves state-of-the-art results on the GenEval benchmark.

It was developed by the Fal team and more details about it can be found in this blog post.

AuraFlow can be quite expensive to run on consumer hardware devices. However, you can perform a suite of optimizations to run it faster and in a more memory-friendly manner. Check out this section for more details.

class diffusers.AuraFlowPipeline

( tokenizer: T5Tokenizer text_encoder: UMT5EncoderModel vae: AutoencoderKL transformer: AuraFlowTransformer2DModel scheduler: FlowMatchEulerDiscreteScheduler )

Parameters

- tokenizer (`T5TokenizerFast`) — Tokenizer of class T5Tokenizer.
- text_encoder (`T5EncoderModel`) — Frozen text-encoder. AuraFlow uses T5, specifically the EleutherAI/pile-t5-xl variant.
- vae (AutoencoderKL) — Variational Auto-Encoder (VAE) Model to encode and decode images to and from latent representations.
- transformer (AuraFlowTransformer2DModel) — Conditional Transformer (MMDiT and DiT) architecture to denoise the encoded image latents.
- scheduler (FlowMatchEulerDiscreteScheduler) — A scheduler to be used in combination with `transformer` to denoise the encoded image latents.

__call__

( prompt: typing.Union[str, typing.List[str]] = None negative_prompt: typing.Union[str, typing.List[str]] = None num_inference_steps: int = 50 sigmas: typing.List[float] = None guidance_scale: float = 3.5 num_images_per_prompt: typing.Optional[int] = 1 height: typing.Optional[int] = 1024 width: typing.Optional[int] = 1024 generator: typing.Union[torch._C.Generator, typing.List[torch._C.Generator], NoneType] = None latents: typing.Optional[torch.Tensor] = None prompt_embeds: typing.Optional[torch.Tensor] = None prompt_attention_mask: typing.Optional[torch.Tensor] = None negative_prompt_embeds: typing.Optional[torch.Tensor] = None negative_prompt_attention_mask: typing.Optional[torch.Tensor] = None max_sequence_length: int = 256 output_type: typing.Optional[str] = 'pil' return_dict: bool = True )

Parameters

- prompt (`str` or `List[str]`, optional) — The prompt or prompts to guide the image generation. If not defined, one has to pass `prompt_embeds`. instead.
- negative_prompt (`str` or `List[str]`, optional) — The prompt or prompts not to guide the image generation. If not defined, one has to pass `negative_prompt_embeds` instead. Ignored when not using guidance (i.e., ignored if `guidance_scale` is less than `1`).
- height (`int`, optional, defaults to self.transformer.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor) — The height in pixels of the generated image. This is set to 1024 by default for best results.
- width (`int`, optional, defaults to self.transformer.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor) — The width in pixels of the generated image. This is set to 1024 by default for best results.
- 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.
- sigmas (`List[float]`, optional) — Custom sigmas used to override the timestep spacing strategy of the scheduler. If `sigmas` is passed, `num_inference_steps` and `timesteps` must be `None`.
- guidance_scale (`float`, optional, defaults to 5.0) — Guidance scale as defined in Classifier-Free Diffusion Guidance. `guidance_scale` is defined as `w` of equation 2. of Imagen Paper. Guidance scale is enabled by setting `guidance_scale > 1`. Higher guidance scale encourages to generate images that are closely linked to the text `prompt`, usually at the expense of lower image quality.
- num_images_per_prompt (`int`, optional, defaults to 1) — The number of images to generate per prompt.
- generator (`torch.Generator` or `List[torch.Generator]`, optional) — One or a list of torch generator(s) to make generation deterministic.
- latents (`torch.FloatTensor`, optional) — Pre-generated noisy latents, sampled from a Gaussian distribution, to be used as inputs for image generation. Can be used to tweak the same generation with different prompts. If not provided, a latents tensor will ge generated by sampling using the supplied random `generator`.
- prompt_embeds (`torch.FloatTensor`, optional) — Pre-generated text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs, e.g. prompt weighting. If not provided, text embeddings will be generated from `prompt` input argument.
- prompt_attention_mask (`torch.Tensor`, optional) — Pre-generated attention mask for text embeddings.
- negative_prompt_embeds (`torch.FloatTensor`, optional) — Pre-generated negative text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs, e.g. prompt weighting. If not provided, negative_prompt_embeds will be generated from `negative_prompt` input argument.
- negative_prompt_attention_mask (`torch.Tensor`, optional) — Pre-generated attention mask for negative text embeddings.
- output_type (`str`, optional, defaults to `"pil"`) — The output format of the generate image. Choose between PIL: `PIL.Image.Image` or `np.array`.
- return_dict (`bool`, optional, defaults to `True`) — Whether or not to return a `~pipelines.stable_diffusion_xl.StableDiffusionXLPipelineOutput` instead of a plain tuple.
- max_sequence_length (`int` defaults to 256) — Maximum sequence length to use with the `prompt`.

Function invoked when calling the pipeline for generation.

Examples:

    >>> import torch
    >>> from diffusers import AuraFlowPipeline

    >>> pipe = AuraFlowPipeline.from_pretrained("fal/AuraFlow", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
    >>> pipe = pipe.to("cuda")
    >>> prompt = "A cat holding a sign that says hello world"
    >>> image = pipe(prompt).images[0]
    >>> image.save("aura_flow.png")

Returns: ImagePipelineOutput or `tuple`: If `return_dict` is `True`, ImagePipelineOutput is returned, otherwise a `tuple` is returned where the first element is a list with the generated images.
