From the model card
stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-inpainting, this repository and organization are not affiliated in any way with Stability AI.This model card focuses on the model associated with the Stable Diffusion v2, available here.
This stable-diffusion-2-inpainting model is resumed from stable-diffusion-2-base (512-base-ema.ckpt) and trained for another 200k steps. Follows the mask-generation strategy presented in LAMA which, in combination with the latent VAE representations of the masked image, are used as an additional conditioning.

Model type: Diffusion-based text-to-image generation model
Language(s): English

Model Description: This is a model that can be used to generate and modify images based on text prompts. It is a Latent Diffusion Model that uses a fixed, pretrained text encoder (OpenCLIP-ViT/H).

Using the 🤗's Diffusers library to run Stable Diffusion 2 inpainting in a simple and efficient manner.
pip install diffusers transformers accelerate scipy safetensors
from diffusers import StableDiffusionInpaintPipeline
pipe = StableDiffusionInpaintPipeline.from_pretrained(
"stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-inpainting",
torch_dtype=torch.float16,
)
pipe.to("cuda")
prompt = "Face of a yellow cat, high resolution, sitting on a park bench"
#image and mask_image should be PIL images.
#The mask structure is white for inpainting and black for keeping as is
image = pipe(prompt=prompt, image=image, mask_image=mask_image).images[0]
image.save("./yellow_cat_on_park_bench.png")
Notes:
pipe.enable_attention_slicing() after sending it to cuda for less VRAM usage (to the cost of speed)How it works:
image | mask_image
:-------------------------:|:-------------------------:|
prompt | Output |
|---|
The model is intended for research purposes only. Possible research areas and tasks include
Excluded uses are described below.
Note: This section is originally taken from the DALLE-MINI model card, was used for Stable Diffusion v1, but applies in the same way to Stable Diffusion v2.
The model should not be used to intentionally create or disseminate images that create hostile or alienating environments for people. This includes generating images that people would foreseeably find disturbing, distressing, or offensive; or content that propagates historical or current stereotypes.
The model was not trained to be factual or true representations of people or events, and therefore using the model to generate such content is out-of-scope for the abilities of this model.
Using the model to generate content that is cruel to individuals is a misuse of this model. This includes, but is not limited to:

Running it yourself
Rent a machine by the hour. ComfyUI is installed on it. Open ComfyUI through the tunnel: its default workflow loads a checkpoint. Choose this model's file in Load Checkpoint, with the settings its model card gives.
# on your rented machine: pip install diffusers transformers accelerate
import torch
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
from diffusers.utils import load_image
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("sd2-community/stable-diffusion-2-inpainting", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16).to("cuda")
start = load_image("/workspace/in.png")
image = pipe(prompt="the same scene at golden hour", image=start).images[0]
image.save("/workspace/out.png")
# on your rented machine (the ssh line is on its page in the console)
# get REPO FILE FOLDER: one file into /workspace/models/FOLDER, where ComfyUI loads it from
