# PRX


PRX generates high-quality images from text using a simplified MMDIT architecture where text tokens don't update through transformer blocks. It employs flow matching with discrete scheduling for efficient sampling and uses Google's T5Gemma-2B-2B-UL2 model for multi-language text encoding. The ~1.3B parameter transformer delivers fast inference without sacrificing quality. You can choose between Flux VAE (8x compression, 16 latent channels) for balanced quality and speed or DC-AE (32x compression, 32 latent channels) for latent compression and faster processing.

## Available models

PRX offers multiple variants with different VAE configurations, each optimized for specific resolutions. Base models excel with detailed prompts, capturing complex compositions and subtle details. Fine-tuned models trained on the [Alchemist dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/yandex/alchemist) improve aesthetic quality, especially with simpler prompts.

  The prompt or prompts to guide the image generation. If not defined, one has to pass `prompt_embeds`
  instead.
- **negative_prompt** (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `""`) --
  The prompt or prompts not to guide the image generation. Ignored when not using guidance (i.e., ignored
  if `guidance_scale` is less than `1`).
- **height** (`int`, *optional*, defaults to self.transformer.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor) --
  The height in pixels of the generated image.
- **width** (`int`, *optional*, defaults to self.transformer.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor) --
  The width in pixels of the generated image.
- **num_inference_steps** (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 28) --
  The number of denoising steps. More denoising steps usually lead to a higher quality image at the
  expense of slower inference.
- **timesteps** (`List[int]`, *optional*) --
  Custom timesteps to use for the denoising process with schedulers which support a `timesteps` argument
  in their `set_timesteps` method. If not defined, the default behavior when `num_inference_steps` is
  passed will be used. Must be in descending order.
- **guidance_scale** (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 4.0) --
  Guidance scale as defined in [Classifier-Free Diffusion Guidance](https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.12598).
  `guidance_scale` is defined as `w` of equation 2. of [Imagen
  Paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.11487.pdf). Guidance scale is enabled by setting `guidance_scale >
  1`. Higher guidance scale encourages to generate images that are closely linked to the text `prompt`,
  usually at the expense of lower image quality.
- **num_images_per_prompt** (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 1) --
  The number of images to generate per prompt.
- **generator** (`torch.Generator` or `List[torch.Generator]`, *optional*) --
  One or a list of [torch generator(s)](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
  generation. Can be used to tweak the same generation with different prompts. If not provided, a latents
  tensor will be generated by sampling using the supplied random `generator`.
- **prompt_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor`, *optional*) --
  Pre-generated text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs, *e.g.* prompt weighting. If not
  provided, text embeddings will be generated from `prompt` input argument.
- **negative_prompt_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor`, *optional*) --
  Pre-generated negative text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs, *e.g.* prompt
  weighting. If not provided and `guidance_scale > 1`, negative embeddings will be generated from an
  empty string.
- **prompt_attention_mask** (`torch.BoolTensor`, *optional*) --
  Pre-generated attention mask for `prompt_embeds`. If not provided, attention mask will be generated
  from `prompt` input argument.
- **negative_prompt_attention_mask** (`torch.BoolTensor`, *optional*) --
  Pre-generated attention mask for `negative_prompt_embeds`. If not provided and `guidance_scale > 1`,
  attention mask will be generated from an empty string.
- **output_type** (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"pil"`) --
  The output format of the generate image. Choose between
  [PIL](https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/): `PIL.Image.Image` or `np.array`.
- **return_dict** (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`) --
  Whether or not to return a [PRXPipelineOutput](/docs/diffusers/pr_12595/en/api/pipelines/prx#diffusers.pipelines.prx.PRXPipelineOutput) instead of a plain tuple.
- **use_resolution_binning** (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`) --
  If set to `True`, the requested height and width are first mapped to the closest resolutions using
  predefined aspect ratio bins. After the produced latents are decoded into images, they are resized back
  to the requested resolution. Useful for generating non-square images at optimal resolutions.
- **callback_on_step_end** (`Callable`, *optional*) --
  A function that calls at the end of each denoising steps during the inference. The function is called
  with the following arguments: `callback_on_step_end(self, step, timestep, callback_kwargs)`.
  `callback_kwargs` will include a list of all tensors as specified by
  `callback_on_step_end_tensor_inputs`.
- **callback_on_step_end_tensor_inputs** (`List`, *optional*) --
  The list of tensor inputs for the `callback_on_step_end` function. The tensors specified in the list
  will be passed as `callback_kwargs` argument. You will only be able to include tensors that are listed
  in the `._callback_tensor_inputs` attribute.</paramsdesc><paramgroups>0</paramgroups><rettype>[PRXPipelineOutput](/docs/diffusers/pr_12595/en/api/pipelines/prx#diffusers.pipelines.prx.PRXPipelineOutput) or `tuple`</rettype><retdesc>[PRXPipelineOutput](/docs/diffusers/pr_12595/en/api/pipelines/prx#diffusers.pipelines.prx.PRXPipelineOutput) if `return_dict` is
