## 📋 Overview

**KING2-IMAGE** is a **Stable Diffusion XL LoRA adapter** (rank 16) trained on a 3,000-image subset of the [jackyhate/text-to-image-2M](https://huggingface.co/datasets/jackyhate/text-to-image-2M) dataset. It is designed to produce visually striking, detailed, and aesthetically refined images — from majestic royal scenes and cinematic landscapes to fantasy art and photorealistic portraits.

Built as part of the **KING2 AI ecosystem**, this model inherits the "royal" essence of the KING2 brand, excelling at generating images with grandeur, rich color palettes, and epic compositions.

## 📦 Installation

### Requirements

- Python ≥ 3.10
- PyTorch ≥ 2.0.0
- CUDA-compatible GPU with ≥ 8 GB VRAM (recommended)
- Hugging Face Diffusers, Transformers, Accelerate

### Setup

```bash
# Create a virtual environment (recommended)
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # Linux/macOS
# .\venv\Scripts\activate   # Windows

# Install dependencies
pip install -U diffusers transformers accelerate torch safetensors
```

---

## 🚀 Usage

### Basic Inference

```python
import torch
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline, AutoencoderKL

# Optional but recommended: the fp16-safe VAE used during training
vae = AutoencoderKL.from_pretrained(
    "madebyollin/sdxl-vae-fp16-fix",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
)

# Load the base SDXL pipeline
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0",
    vae=vae,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    variant="fp16",
    use_safetensors=True,
)
pipe.to("cuda")

# Load the KING2-IMAGE LoRA adapter
pipe.load_lora_weights("RASHID778/king2-image")

# Generate
prompt = "a futuristic royal palace at sunset, highly detailed, 8k, golden hour"
image = pipe(
    prompt,
    num_inference_steps=30,
    guidance_scale=7.5,
    height=768,
    width=768,
    negative_prompt="blurry, low quality, distorted, ugly, bad anatomy, watermark, text",
).images[0]

image.save("king2_output.png")
```

### LoRA Weight Configuration

You can adjust the LoRA influence scale for finer control:

```python
pipe.load_lora_weights("RASHID778/king2-image", adapter_name="king2")
pipe.set_adapters(["king2"], adapter_weights=[0.85])  # scale from 0.0 to 1.0
```

---

## 🕴️ Stickman Adapter

The repo also ships a **second LoRA adapter** at [`stickman/pytorch_lora_weights.safetensors`](https://huggingface.co/RASHID778/king2-image/tree/main/stickman) — a style/pose adapter that makes SDXL draw **stick-figure illustrations** across a wide range of human poses and actions (run, jump, kick, sit, climb, dance…).

Trained on 10,000 curated 1024×1024 stick-figure frames derived from HumanML3D motion sequences (quality-scored, de-duplicated, captioned from the official HumanML3D texts).

```python
pipe.load_lora_weights(
    "RASHID778/king2-image",
    weight_name="stickman/pytorch_lora_weights.safetensors",
    adapter_name="stickman",
)

image = pipe(
    "a stickman doing a backflip, simple black and white stick figure line drawing",
    num_inference_steps=30,
    guidance_scale=7.0,
).images[0]
```

**Prompting tips:**

- Keep the trigger phrasing seen in training: `…, simple black and white stick figure line drawing`.
- Best at **single-figure** body poses/actions; multi-figure scenes are out of distribution.
- LoRA scale **0.8–1.0** (lower toward 0.6 if the pose collapses), guidance 6–8, 25–35 steps.
- Style is fixed: thick-stroke skeleton on white background — no head circle, colors, props, or backgrounds.

> ⚠️ The stickman adapter's training data derives from HumanML3D (AMASS/HumanAct12). Treat it as **research use**; review upstream licensing before commercial deployment.

---

### Inference Providers (Zero Setup)

You can run the LoRA without any local GPU via **fal.ai**:

```python
# pip install fal-client  (and set FAL_KEY)
import fal_client

result = fal_client.subscribe(
    "fal-ai/lora",
    arguments={
        "model_name": "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0",
        "loras": [{
            "path": "https://huggingface.co/RASHID778/king2-image/resolve/main/pytorch_lora_weights.safetensors",
            "scale": 0.85,
        }],
        "prompt": "cosmic king on a throne of stars, nebula background, majestic, epic fantasy",
        "negative_prompt": "blurry, low quality",
        "image_size": "square",
        "guidance_scale": 7.5,
        "num_inference_steps": 30,
    },
)
print(result["images"][0]["url"])
```

You can also use the **Inference Providers** widget on this model page (powered by fal-ai) with zero setup.

## ⚠️ Limitations

- **Resolution Constraint** — Trained at 768×768. Higher resolutions (>1024) may produce artifacts or quality degradation.
- **Synthetic Training Data** — The training subset consists of AI-generated images, so the adapter inherits the visual style (and any artifacts) of the generator used to build the source dataset.
- **Domain Specificity** — Fine-tuned primarily for majestic, royal, and fantasy aesthetics. May not perform optimally on unrelated domains (e.g., modern tech, medical imagery, abstract minimalism).
- **Bias & Representation** — As with all generative models trained on web-scale data, the model may reflect biases present in the training dataset. Use responsibly and critically evaluate outputs.
- **Arabic Prompts** — The model was trained primarily on English captions. Arabic prompts may produce less reliable results; transliteration to English is recommended.
- **Not a Checkpoint** — This is a LoRA adapter only. The base SDXL model must be loaded separately (requires ~12 GB VRAM for full pipeline).
- **Safety** — The model has not been fine-tuned for safety filtering. Always use appropriate NSFW/content filters in production deployments.

---

## 🔬 Technical Notes

- The adapter was trained using the Diffusers `train_text_to_image_lora_sdxl.py` script.
- All checkpoints use `.safetensors` format for secure and fast loading.
- Xet storage is used on Hugging Face for efficient large-file hosting.
- Available for live inference via the fal-ai Inference Provider on Hugging Face.
