About

What Lumina-Image-2.0 is

Lumina-Image-2.0 is a 2 billion parameter flow-based diffusion transformer capable of generating images from text descriptions. For more information, visit our GitHub.

Gradio Demo

We provide an official Gradio demo. You can use the link we provided to try it out.

Usage

import torch
from diffusers import Lumina2Pipeline

pipe = Lumina2Pipeline.from_pretrained("Alpha-VLLM/Lumina-Image-2.0", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload() #save some VRAM by offloading the model to CPU. Remove this if you have enough GPU power

prompt = "A serene photograph capturing the golden reflection of the sun on a vast expanse of water. The sun is positioned at the top center, casting a brilliant, shimmering trail of light across the rippling surface. The water is textured with gentle waves, creating a rhythmic pattern that leads the eye towards the horizon. The entire scene is bathed in warm, golden hues, enhancing the tranquil and meditative atmosphere. High contrast, natural lighting, golden hour, photorealistic, expansive composition, reflective surface, peaceful, visually harmonious."
image = pipe(
    prompt,
    height=1024,
    width=1024,
    guidance_scale=4.0,
    num_inference_steps=50,
    cfg_trunc_ratio=0.25,
    cfg_normalization=True,
    generator=torch.Generator("cpu").manual_seed(0)
).images[0]
image.save("lumina_demo.png")

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys lumina-image-2-0 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (lumina-image-2-0 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":"lumina-image-2-0","prompt":"a red bicycle","size":"1024x1024"}'
