# Stable Diffusion 3 Medium TensorRT
## Introduction

This repository hosts the TensorRT version of **Stable Diffusion 3 Medium** created in collaboration with [NVIDIA](https://huggingface.co/nvidia). The optimized versions give substantial improvements in speed and efficiency.

Stable Diffusion 3 Medium is a fast generative text-to-image model with greatly improved performance in multi-subject prompts, image quality, and spelling abilities.

## Model Details

### Model Description
Stable Diffusion 3 Medium combines a diffusion transformer architecture and flow matching.

- **Developed by:** Stability AI
- **Model type:** MMDiT text-to-image model
- **Model Description:** This is a conversion of the [Stable Diffusion 3 Medium](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3-medium) model


## Performance using TensorRT 10.1
#### Timings for 50 steps at 1024x1024

| Accelerator | CLIP-G      | CLIP-L       | T5XXL         | MMDiT                 | VAE Decoder         | Total                  |
|-------------|-------------|--------------|---------------|-----------------------|---------------------|------------------------|
| A100        | 11.95 ms    | 5.04 ms      | 21.39 ms      | 5468.17 ms            | 72.25 ms            | 5622.47 ms             |

#### Timings for 30 steps at 1024x1024 with input image conditioning

| Accelerator | VAE Encoder    | CLIP-G      | CLIP-L       | T5XXL         | MMDiT                 | VAE Decoder         | Total          |
|-------------|----------------|-------------|--------------|---------------|-----------------------|---------------------|----------------|
| A100        | 37.04 ms       | 12.07 ms    | 5.07 ms      | 21.49 ms      | 3340.69 ms            | 72.02 ms            | 3531.49 ms     |


## Int8 quantization with [TensorRT Model Optimizer](https://github.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT-Model-Optimizer)
The MMDiT in Stable Diffusion 3 Medium can be further optimized with INT8 quantization using TensorRT Model Optimizer. The estimated end-to-end speedup comparing TensorRT fp16 and TensorRT int8 is 1.2x~1.4x on various NVidia GPUs. The memory saving is about 2x for the int8 MMDiT engine compared with the fp16 counterpart. The image quality can be maintained with minimal to negligible degradation.

## Usage Example
<!-- Finalize the branch and namespace -->
1. Follow the [setup instructions](https://github.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT/blob/release/sd3/demo/Diffusion/README.md) on launching a TensorRT NGC container.
```shell
git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT.git
cd TensorRT
git checkout release/sd3
docker run --rm -it --gpus all -v $PWD:/workspace nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:24.05-py3 /bin/bash
```

2. Download the Stable Diffusion 3 Medium TensorRT files from this repo
```shell
git lfs install 
git clone https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3-medium-tensorrt
cd stable-diffusion-3-medium-tensorrt
git lfs pull
cd ..
```

3. Install libraries and requirements
```shell
cd demo/Diffusion
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 -m pip install --pre --upgrade --extra-index-url https://pypi.nvidia.com tensorrt-cu12
```


4. Perform TensorRT optimized inference:

  - **Stable Diffusion 3 Medium**
        
    Works best for 1024x1024 images. The first invocation produces plan files in --engine-dir specific to the accelerator being run on and are reused for later invocations. 
    ```
    python3 demo_txt2img_sd3.py \
      "Astronaut in a jungle, cold color palette, muted colors, detailed, 8k" \
      --version=sd3 \
      --onnx-dir /workspace/stable-diffusion-3-medium-tensorrt/ \
      --engine-dir /workspace/stable-diffusion-3-medium-tensorrt/engine \
      --seed 42 \
      --width 1024 \
      --height 1024 \
      --build-static-batch \
      --use-cuda-graph
    ```

  - **Stable Diffusion 3 Medium with input image conditioning**
        
    Provide an input image conditioning using below. Works best for 1024x1024 but may also work at 512x512.
    ```
    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CompVis/latent-diffusion/main/data/inpainting_examples/overture-creations-5sI6fQgYIuo.png -O dog-on-bench.png

    python3 demo_txt2img_sd3.py \
      "dog wearing a sweater and a blue collar" \
      --version=sd3 \
      --onnx-dir /workspace/stable-diffusion-3-medium-tensorrt/ \
      --engine-dir /workspace/stable-diffusion-3-medium-tensorrt/engine \
      --seed 42 \
      --width 1024 \
      --height 1024 \
      --input-image dog-on-bench.png \
      --build-static-batch \
      --use-cuda-graph
    ```
