</div>

ControlNet-XS was introduced in [ControlNet-XS](https://vislearn.github.io/ControlNet-XS/) by Denis Zavadski and Carsten Rother. It is based on the observation that the control model in the [original ControlNet](https://huggingface.co/papers/2302.05543) can be made much smaller and still produce good results.

Like the original ControlNet model, you can provide an additional control image to condition and control Stable Diffusion generation. For example, if you provide a depth map, the ControlNet model generates an image that'll preserve the spatial information from the depth map. It is a more flexible and accurate way to control the image generation process.

ControlNet-XS generates images with comparable quality to a regular ControlNet, but it is 20-25% faster ([see benchmark](https://github.com/UmerHA/controlnet-xs-benchmark/blob/main/Speed%20Benchmark.ipynb) with StableDiffusion-XL) and uses ~45% less memory.

Here's the overview from the [project page](https://vislearn.github.io/ControlNet-XS/):

*With increasing computing capabilities, current model architectures appear to follow the trend of simply upscaling all components without validating the necessity for doing so. In this project we investigate the size and architectural design of ControlNet [Zhang et al., 2023] for controlling the image generation process with stable diffusion-based models. We show that a new architecture with as little as 1% of the parameters of the base model achieves state-of-the art results, considerably better than ControlNet in terms of FID score. Hence we call it ControlNet-XS. We provide the code for controlling StableDiffusion-XL [Podell et al., 2023] (Model B, 48M Parameters) and StableDiffusion 2.1 [Rombach et al. 2022] (Model B, 14M Parameters), all under openrail license.*

Pipeline for text-to-image generation using Stable Diffusion with ControlNet-XS guidance.

This model inherits from [DiffusionPipeline](/docs/diffusers/pr_12595/en/api/pipelines/overview#diffusers.DiffusionPipeline). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods
implemented for all pipelines (downloading, saving, running on a particular device, etc.).

The pipeline also inherits the following loading methods:
- [load_textual_inversion()](/docs/diffusers/pr_12595/en/api/loaders/textual_inversion#diffusers.loaders.TextualInversionLoaderMixin.load_textual_inversion) for loading textual inversion embeddings
- [load_lora_weights()](/docs/diffusers/pr_12595/en/api/loaders/lora#diffusers.loaders.StableDiffusionLoraLoaderMixin.load_lora_weights) for loading LoRA weights
- [save_lora_weights()](/docs/diffusers/pr_12595/en/api/loaders/lora#diffusers.loaders.StableDiffusionLoraLoaderMixin.save_lora_weights) for saving LoRA weights
- [loaders.FromSingleFileMixin.from_single_file()](/docs/diffusers/pr_12595/en/api/loaders/single_file#diffusers.loaders.FromSingleFileMixin.from_single_file) for loading `.ckpt` files

  The ControlNet input condition to provide guidance to the `unet` for generation. If the type is
  specified as `torch.Tensor`, it is passed to ControlNet as is. `PIL.Image.Image` can also be accepted
  as an image. The dimensions of the output image defaults to `image`'s dimensions. If height and/or
  width are passed, `image` is resized accordingly. If multiple ControlNets are specified in `init`,
  images must be passed as a list such that each element of the list can be correctly batched for input

  expense of slower inference.
- **guidance_scale** (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 7.5) --
  A higher guidance scale value encourages the model to generate images closely linked to the text
  `prompt` at the expense of lower image quality. Guidance scale is enabled when `guidance_scale > 1`.

  The prompt or prompts to guide what to not include in image generation. If not defined, you need to
  pass `negative_prompt_embeds` instead. Ignored when not using guidance (`guidance_scale < 1`).
- **num_images_per_prompt** (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 1) --
  The number of images to generate per prompt.

  A [`torch.Generator`](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.Generator.html) to make
  generation deterministic.
- **latents** (`torch.Tensor`, *optional*) --
  Pre-generated noisy latents sampled from a Gaussian distribution, to be used as inputs for image

- **return_dict** (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`) --
  Whether or not to return a [StableDiffusionPipelineOutput](/docs/diffusers/pr_12595/en/api/pipelines/stable_diffusion/depth2img#diffusers.pipelines.stable_diffusion.StableDiffusionPipelineOutput) instead of a
  plain tuple.
- **cross_attention_kwargs** (`dict`, *optional*) --
  A kwargs dictionary that if specified is passed along to the `AttentionProcessor` as defined in
  [`self.processor`](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/main/src/diffusers/models/attention_processor.py).
- **controlnet_conditioning_scale** (`float` or `List[float]`, *optional*, defaults to 1.0) --
  The outputs of the ControlNet are multiplied by `controlnet_conditioning_scale` before they are added
  to the residual in the original `unet`. If multiple ControlNets are specified in `init`, you can set
  the corresponding scale as a list.
- **control_guidance_start** (`float` or `List[float]`, *optional*, defaults to 0.0) --
  The percentage of total steps at which the ControlNet starts applying.
- **control_guidance_end** (`float` or `List[float]`, *optional*, defaults to 1.0) --
  The percentage of total steps at which the ControlNet stops applying.
- **clip_skip** (`int`, *optional*) --
  Number of layers to be skipped from CLIP while computing the prompt embeddings. A value of 1 means that
  the output of the pre-final layer will be used for computing the prompt embeddings.
- **callback_on_step_end** (`Callable`, `PipelineCallback`, `MultiPipelineCallbacks`, *optional*) --
  A function or a subclass of `PipelineCallback` or `MultiPipelineCallbacks` that is called at the end of
