About

What controlnet-inpaint-dreamer-sdxl is

This ControlNet has been conditioned on Inpainting and Outpainting.

It is an early alpha version made by experimenting in order to learn more about controlnet.

It is designed to work with Stable Diffusion XL. It should work with any model based on it.

The image to inpaint or outpaint is to be used as input of the controlnet in a txt2img pipeline with denoising set to 1.0. The part to in/outpaint should be colors in solid white.

Depending on the prompts, the rest of the image might be kept as is or modified more or less.

Usage with Diffusers

OzzyGT made a really good guide on how to use this model for outpainting, give it a try Here !

A big thank you to him for pointing me out how to name the files for diffusers compatibility and for the fp16 version, you should be able to use it this way with both normal and fp16 version:

from diffusers import ControlNetModel
import torch

controlnet = ControlNetModel.from_pretrained(
    "destitech/controlnet-inpaint-dreamer-sdxl", torch_dtype=torch.float16, variant="fp16"
)

Usage with ComfyUI

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys controlnet-inpaint-dreamer-sdxl for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (controlnet-inpaint-dreamer-sdxl 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":"controlnet-inpaint-dreamer-sdxl","prompt":"a red bicycle","size":"1024x1024"}'
