Project Updates

Quick Start

Please make sure you have installed Flash Attention and latest Diffusers. We recommend CUDA versions 12.4 for the manual installation.

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -U flash-attn --no-build-isolation
pip install -U git+https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers.git

Then you can run the inference scripts to generate images:

python ./inference_e1_1.py

[!NOTE] The inference script will try to automatically download meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct model files. You need to agree to the license of the Llama model on your HuggingFace account and login using huggingface-cli login in order to use the automatic downloader.

Gradio Demo

We also provide a Gradio demo for interactive image editing. You can run the demo with:

python gradio_demo_1_1.py

Evaluation Metrics

Evaluation results on EmuEdit and ReasonEdit Benchmarks. Higher is better.
