HiDream-E1-1

HiDream-E1 is an image editing model built on HiDream-I1.

Project Updates

• 🌟 July 16, 2025: We've open-sourced the updated image editing model HiDream-E1.1.
• 📝 May 28, 2025: We've released our technical report HiDream-I1: A High-Efficient Image Generative Foundation Model with Sparse Diffusion Transformer. Please use the Bibtex below to cite the paper.
• 🚀 April 28, 2025: We've open-sourced the image editing model HiDream-E1.

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.
