R3GAN: FFHQ 256×256

The unconditional R3GAN generator for FFHQ at 256×256, from the NeurIPS 2024 paper The GAN is dead; long live the GAN! A Modern GAN Baseline (the proposed configuration, config E).

Dataset	FFHQ (Flickr-Faces-HQ)
Resolution	256×256
Conditioning	unconditional
FID (50k samples)	2.75, as reported in the paper
File	network-snapshot-final.pkl: the final training snapshot; its G_ema network is the generator
Code	https://github.com/brownvc/R3GAN
Licence	CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

Generating images

git clone https://github.com/brownvc/R3GAN && cd R3GAN
python gen_images.py --seeds=0-7 --outdir=out \
    --network=https://huggingface.co/brownvc/R3GAN-FFHQ-256x256/resolve/main/network-snapshot-final.pkl

The code requires the same packages as the official StyleGAN3 repository.

Intended use and limitations

The model is intended for research on generative models. It reproduces the statistics of its training data, FFHQ (70,000 face images from Flickr), including the demographics and photographic conventions of those faces. Do not use it to create deceptive content or content that could cause harm.

Licence

The weights are released under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. The code that runs them is a separate work: the R3GAN/ directory of the GitHub repository is under the MIT licence, and the rest of the repository, which derives from StyleGAN3, is under NVIDIA's Source Code License.
