About

What AuraSR is

GAN-based Super-Resolution for upscaling generated images, a variation of the GigaGAN paper for image-conditioned upscaling. Torch implementation is based on the unofficial lucidrains/gigagan-pytorch repository.

Usage

$ pip install aura-sr
from aura_sr import AuraSR

aura_sr = AuraSR.from_pretrained("fal/AuraSR-v2")
import requests
from io import BytesIO
from PIL import Image

def load_image_from_url(url):
    response = requests.get(url)
    image_data = BytesIO(response.content)
    return Image.open(image_data)

image = load_image_from_url("https://mingukkang.github.io/GigaGAN/static/images/iguana_output.jpg").resize((256, 256))
upscaled_image = aura_sr.upscale_4x_overlapped(image)

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys aurasr for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (aurasr below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/images/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"aurasr","prompt":"a red bicycle","size":"1024x1024"}'
