🚀 Dreamshaper XL Lightning on AMD AI PC NPU
Dreamshaper XL Lightning is a fine-tuned Stable Diffusion XL model optimized for fast text-to-image generation with few inference steps. It is based on stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0.
More details about this model can be found on the original Hugging Face model card: Lykon/dreamshaper-xl-lightning.
This model repo contains the optimized ONNX models required to run the image generation pipeline for Dreamshaper XL Lightning on AMD NPUs.
Model Details
The folder structure is organized to mirror the main components of the SDXL-style diffusion pipeline (scheduler, text encoders, tokenizers, UNet, and VAE decoder).
├─ scheduler/
├─ text_encoder/
├─ text_encoder_2/
├─ tokenizer/
├─ tokenizer_2/
├─ unet/
└─ vae_decoder/
The scheduler folder contains the scheduler configuration (timesteps, betas, alphas, etc.) used during the diffusion sampling process.
The text_encoder and text_encoder_2 folders contain the text encoder models used to convert the input prompt into conditioning embeddings for the diffusion model.
The tokenizer and tokenizer_2 folders contain the tokenizer configuration and vocabulary files required to preprocess text prompts before they are fed to the text encoders.
The unet folder contains the UNet model used in the diffusion process. The UNet is exported and structured specifically to leverage the AMD NPU accelerator for the denoising steps.
The vae_decoder folder contains the VAE decoder model used to map latent representations back to the image space. The VAE decoder is also structured to make use of the NPU accelerator for efficient image reconstruction.
Note: UNet and VAE decoder models are optimized and structured to run on AMD NPUs. The other components (text encoders, tokenizers and scheduler) are shared between GPU and NPU pipelines, but are provided here for completeness.
