# EDM2-diffusers

Diffusers-ready checkpoints for **EDM2** ([Analyzing and Improving the Training Dynamics of Diffusion Models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.02696)),
converted from [NVlabs/edm2](https://github.com/NVlabs/edm2) post-hoc reconstructions.

Official source weights: `https://nvlabs-fi-cdn.nvidia.com/edm2/posthoc-reconstructions/`

This root folder is a model collection that contains:

- `edm2-img512-xs-fid`
- `edm2-img512-s-fid`
- `edm2-img512-m-fid`
- `edm2-img512-l-fid`
- `edm2-img512-l-dino`
- `edm2-img512-xl-fid`
- `edm2-img512-xxl-fid`

Each subfolder is a self-contained Diffusers model repo with:

- `pipeline.py`
- `unet/unet_edm2.py`
- `scheduler/scheduler_config.json` (`EDMEulerScheduler`)
- `unet/diffusion_pytorch_model.safetensors`
- `vae/diffusion_pytorch_model.safetensors`

## Demo

![edm2-img512-xxl-fid demo](edm2-img512-xxl-fid/demo.png)

Class-conditional sample (ImageNet class **207**, golden retriever), EDM2-XXL at 512×512, 32 steps, guidance 1.0, seed 42.

## Model Paths

Use paths relative to this root README:

| Model | NVlabs preset | FID | Local path |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- |
| EDM2-XS | `edm2-img512-xs-fid` | 3.53 | `./edm2-img512-xs-fid` |
| EDM2-S | `edm2-img512-s-fid` | 2.56 | `./edm2-img512-s-fid` |
| EDM2-M | `edm2-img512-m-fid` | 2.25 | `./edm2-img512-m-fid` |
| EDM2-L | `edm2-img512-l-fid` | 2.06 | `./edm2-img512-l-fid` |
| EDM2-L (DINO) | `edm2-img512-l-dino` | — | `./edm2-img512-l-dino` |
| EDM2-XL | `edm2-img512-xl-fid` | 1.96 | `./edm2-img512-xl-fid` |

## Inference Demo (Diffusers)

### 1) Load a local subfolder checkpoint

```python
from pathlib import Path
import torch
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline

model_dir = Path("./edm2-img512-xxl-fid")  # change to any path in the table above
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
    str(model_dir),
    local_files_only=True,
    trust_remote_code=True,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
).to("cuda")

generator = torch.Generator(device="cuda").manual_seed(42)
image = pipe(
    class_labels=207,          # golden retriever (ImageNet id); omit for random class
    num_inference_steps=32,
    guidance_scale=1.0,        # >1.0 requires a gnet/ checkpoint
    generator=generator,
).images[0]
image.save("demo.png")
```

Official inference defaults (`generate_images.py`): `num_steps=32`, `sigma_min=0.002`,
`sigma_max=80`, `rho=7`, `guidance=1.0` (no gnet), `S_churn=0`. Heun sampling runs in
float32 internally even when UNet/VAE weights are loaded in bf16/fp16.

Guided presets require a converted `gnet/` folder and `guidance_scale` matching the
NVlabs preset.

### 2) Convert a legacy `.pkl`

```bash
python scripts/convert_edm2_to_diffusers.py \
  --checkpoint models/BiliSakura/EDM2-diffusers/edm2-img512-xs-2147483-0.135.pkl \
  --output models/BiliSakura/EDM2-diffusers
```

Creates `edm2-img512-xs-fid/` automatically from the NVlabs preset mapping.

## Checkpoint preset mapping

Maps NVlabs `--preset=...` names from [`generate_images.py`](https://github.com/NVlabs/edm2/blob/main/generate_images.py)
to source pickle filenames and local Diffusers directories.
