DreamBooth training example

DreamBooth is a method to personalize text2image models like stable diffusion given just a few(3~5) images of a subject. The train_dreambooth.py script shows how to implement the training procedure and adapt it for stable diffusion.

Running locally with PyTorch

Installing the dependencies

Before running the scripts, make sure to install the library's training dependencies:

Important

To make sure you can successfully run the latest versions of the example scripts, we highly recommend installing from source and keeping the install up to date as we update the example scripts frequently and install some example-specific requirements. To do this, execute the following steps in a new virtual environment:

git clone https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers
cd diffusers
pip install -e .

Then cd in the example folder and run

pip install -r requirements.txt

And initialize an 🤗Accelerate environment with:

accelerate config

Or for a default accelerate configuration without answering questions about your environment

accelerate config default

Or if your environment doesn't support an interactive shell e.g. a notebook

from accelerate.utils import write_basic_config
write_basic_config()

Dog toy example

Now let's get our dataset. Download images from here and save them in a directory. This will be our training data.

And launch the training using

Note: Change the resolution to 768 if you are using the stable-diffusion-2 768x768 model.

export MODEL_NAME="CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4"
export INSTANCE_DIR="path-to-instance-images"
export OUTPUT_DIR="path-to-save-model"

accelerate launch train_dreambooth.py \
  --pretrained_model_name_or_path=$MODEL_NAME  \
  --instance_data_dir=$INSTANCE_DIR \

  --gradient_accumulation_steps=1 \
  --learning_rate=5e-6 \
  --lr_scheduler="constant" \
  --lr_warmup_steps=0 \
  --max_train_steps=400

Training with prior-preservation loss

Prior-preservation is used to avoid overfitting and language-drift. Refer to the paper to learn more about it. For prior-preservation we first generate images using the model with a class prompt and then use those during training along with our data. According to the paper, it's recommended to generate num_epochs * num_samples images for prior-preservation. 200-300 works well for most cases. The num_class_images flag sets the number of images to generate with the class prompt. You can place existing images in class_data_dir, and the training script will generate any additional images so that num_class_images are present in class_data_dir during training time.

Training on a 16GB GPU:

With the help of gradient checkpointing and the 8-bit optimizer from bitsandbytes it's possible to run train dreambooth on a 16GB GPU.

To install bitandbytes please refer to this readme.

  --max_train_steps=800

Training on a 8 GB GPU:

By using DeepSpeed it's possible to offload some tensors from VRAM to either CPU or NVME allowing to train with less VRAM.

DeepSpeed needs to be enabled with accelerate config. During configuration answer yes to "Do you want to use DeepSpeed?". With DeepSpeed stage 2, fp16 mixed precision and offloading both parameters and optimizer state to cpu it's possible to train on under 8 GB VRAM with a drawback of requiring significantly more RAM (about 25 GB). See documentation for more DeepSpeed configuration options.

Changing the default Adam optimizer to DeepSpeed's special version of Adam deepspeed.ops.adam.DeepSpeedCPUAdam gives a substantial speedup but enabling it requires CUDA toolchain with the same version as pytorch. 8-bit optimizer does not seem to be compatible with DeepSpeed at the moment.

export CLASS_DIR="path-to-class-images"
export OUTPUT_DIR="path-to-save-model"

Fine-tune text encoder with the UNet.

The script also allows to fine-tune the text_encoder along with the unet. It's been observed experimentally that fine-tuning text_encoder gives much better results especially on faces. Pass the --train_text_encoder argument to the script to enable training text_encoder.

Note: Training text encoder requires more memory, with this option the training won't fit on 16GB GPU. It needs at least 24GB VRAM.

Using DreamBooth for other pipelines than Stable Diffusion

Altdiffusion also support dreambooth now, the runing comman is basically the same as abouve, all you need to do is replace the MODEL_NAME like this: One can now simply change the pretrained_model_name_or_path to another architecture such as AltDiffusion.

export MODEL_NAME="CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4" --> export MODEL_NAME="BAAI/AltDiffusion-m9"
or
export MODEL_NAME="CompVis/stable-diffusion-v1-4" --> export MODEL_NAME="BAAI/AltDiffusion"

Inference

Once you have trained a model using above command, the inference can be done simply using the StableDiffusionPipeline. Make sure to include the identifier(e.g. sks in above example) in your prompt.

from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline
import torch

model_id = "path-to-your-trained-model"
pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda")

prompt = "A photo of sks dog in a bucket"
image = pipe(prompt, num_inference_steps=50, guidance_scale=7.5).images[0]

image.save("dog-bucket.png")

Running with Flax/JAX

For faster training on TPUs and GPUs you can leverage the flax training example. Follow the instructions above to get the model and dataset before running the script.

_Note: The flax example don't yet support features like gradient checkpoint, gradient accumulation etc, so to use flax for faster training we will need >30GB cards.

Before running the scripts, make sure to install the library's training dependencies:

pip install -U -r requirements_flax.txt
