Margin-aware Preference Optimization for Aligning Diffusion Models without Reference


We propose MaPO, a reference-free, sample-efficient, memory-friendly alignment technique for text-to-image diffusion models. For more details on the technique, please refer to our paper here.

Dataset

This model was fine-tuned from Stable Diffusion XL on the pixel art split of Pick-Style.

Training Code

Refer to our code repository here.

Inference

from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline, AutoencoderKL, UNet2DConditionModel
import torch 

sdxl_id = "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0"
vae_id = "madebyollin/sdxl-vae-fp16-fix"
unet_id = "mapo-t2i/mapo-pick-style-pixel-art"

vae = AutoencoderKL.from_pretrained(vae_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16)
unet = UNet2DConditionModel.from_pretrained(unet_id, subfolder='unet', torch_dtype=torch.float16)
pipeline = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(sdxl_id, vae=vae, unet=unet, torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda")

prompt = "portrait of gorgeous cyborg with golden hair, high resolution"
image = pipeline(prompt=prompt, num_inference_steps=30).images[0]

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
