# KahabMiniGenT2Im: Lightweight Stable Diffusion Model for Text-to-Image Generation

**Description**: KahabMiniGenT2Im is a lightweight Stable Diffusion model developed by Mohammed Kahab K, an ML engineer, for generating high-quality 256x256 images from text prompts. Trained on a small dataset, this tiny model is optimized for efficiency, making it suitable for low-resource environments like Google Colab or consumer GPUs. Leveraging a custom `UNetConditional` architecture, it provides effective text-to-image generation with minimal computational requirements.

## Model Details

- **Author**: Mohammed Kahab K
- **Architecture**: Custom `UNetConditional` (in_channels=4, base_channels=128, context_dim=768) for latent diffusion.
- **Training**: Trained on a small dataset for efficient text-to-image generation (replace with specific dataset details, e.g., “futuristic images with MSE loss and Adam optimizer”).
- **Output Resolution**: 256x256.
- **Features**:
  - Lightweight and tiny model size for fast inference.
  - Compatible with Stable Diffusion’s `Diffusers` library components (VAE, CLIP).
  - Optimized for low-resource devices with `num_inference_steps=1000` for CUDA.
- **Files**:
  - `KahabMinGenT2Im-v1.pt`: Model weights.
  - `generate_images_direct.py`: Python script with `UNetConditional` class and generation pipeline.
  - `demo.mp4`: Video showcasing model outputs.
  - `thumbnail.jpg`: Thumbnail image for video.

## Setup

Install required dependencies for Stable Diffusion and text-to-image generation:

```bash
pip install torch diffusers transformers pillow numpy tqdm huggingface_hub
```

## Downloading Files

### For Google Colab

Download the model and script in a Colab notebook:

```python
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
import sys
import os

# Download the script and model weights
script_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id="KAHABKALU/KahabMiniGenT2Im", filename="generate_images_direct.py")
model_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id="KAHABKALU/KahabMiniGenT2Im", filename="KahabMinGenT2Im-v1.pt")

# Add the script's directory to sys.path
sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(script_path))
```

Alternatively, use `wget`:

```python
!wget https://huggingface.co/KAHABKALU/KahabMiniGenT2Im/resolve/main/generate_images_direct.py -O /content/generate_images_direct.py
!wget https://huggingface.co/KAHABKALU/KahabMiniGenT2Im/resolve/main/KahabMinGenT2Im-v1.pt -O /content/KahabMinGenT2Im-v1.pt
```

### For Other Devices

Install dependencies and download files:

```bash
pip install torch diffusers transformers pillow numpy tqdm huggingface_hub
```

Download using Python:

```python
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
import sys
import os

script_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id="KAHABKALU/KahabMiniGenT2Im", filename="generate_images_direct.py")
model_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id="KAHABKALU/KahabMiniGenT2Im", filename="KahabMinGenT2Im-v1.pt")
sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(script_path))
```

Or use `wget` or `curl`:

```bash
wget https://huggingface.co/KAHABKALU/KahabMiniGenT2Im/resolve/main/generate_images_direct.py -O generate_images_direct.py
wget https://huggingface.co/KAHABKALU/KahabMiniGenT2Im/resolve/main/KahabMinGenT2Im-v1.pt -O KahabMinGenT2Im-v1.pt
```

## Usage

The `generate_images_direct.py` script enables text-to-image generation with custom prompts in Colab, Jupyter, or command-line environments. For optimal quality, especially on CUDA, use `num_inference_steps=1000` (equivalent to `timesteps=1000` in Stable Diffusion terminology).

### Interactive Usage (Colab/Jupyter)

Run in a Colab or Jupyter notebook for interactive prompt input:

```python
import sys
import os
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
import torch

# Download the script and model weights
script_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id="KAHABKALU/KahabMiniGenT2Im", filename="generate_images_direct.py")
model_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id="KAHABKALU/KahabMiniGenT2Im", filename="KahabMinGenT2Im-v1.pt")
sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(script_path))

from generate_images_direct import generate_images_direct

generate_images_direct(
    unet_path=model_path,
    device="cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu",
    output_dir="output",
    prompt=None  # Prompts for input (e.g., "A glowing cyberpunk city at night")
)
```

### Command-Line Usage

Run with a custom prompt:

```bash
python generate_images_direct.py --prompt "A glowing cyberpunk city at night" --unet_path KahabMinGenT2Im-v1.pt --device cuda --output_dir output
```

### Example Code

Generate a 256x256 image in Colab with a specific prompt:

```python
import sys
import os
import torch
sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(script_path))  # Ensure the script is importable
from generate_images_direct import generate_images_direct

# Generate an image with a custom prompt
generate_images_direct(
    unet_path=model_path,
    device="cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu",
    output_dir="/content/sample_data",
    prompt="A delicate glass sculpture",
    num_inference_steps=1000  # Optimized for better results, especially on CUDA
)
```

### Viewing Images in Colab

Display generated images in Colab:

```python
from IPython.display import Image
import os

output_dir = "/content/sample_data"
for file in os.listdir(output_dir):
    if file.endswith(".png"):
        display(Image(filename=os.path.join(output_dir, file)))
```

## Notes

- **File Format**: Ensure `generate_images_direct.py` is a valid Python script (not a Jupyter notebook) to avoid import errors. Use `sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(script_path))` in Colab.
- **Video File**: Keep `demo.mp4` under 10MB to avoid Git LFS issues. Compress using tools like FFmpeg if needed.
- **Compatibility**: The pipeline uses the VAE from `CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4` and text encoder from `openai/clip-vit-large-patch14`.
- **Performance**: Set `num_inference_steps=1000` for high-quality images on CUDA. For low-memory devices, try `500` steps to avoid crashes.
- **Large Files**: If `KahabMinGenT2Im-v1.pt` or `demo.mp4` is >5GB, Git LFS is used automatically. For >10GB, contact Hugging Face support.
- **GPU in Colab**: Use a GPU runtime (Runtime > Change runtime type > GPU) for faster generation.
- **Community**: Share your results on X or Reddit with #StableDiffusion, #TextToImage, #MachineLearning to increase visibility.
