Overview

🧨 Diffusers offers many pipelines, models, and schedulers for generative tasks. To make loading these components as simple as possible, we provide a single and unified method - from_pretrained() - that loads any of these components from either the Hugging Face Hub or your local machine. Whenever you load a pipeline or model, the latest files are automatically downloaded and cached so you can quickly reuse them next time without redownloading the files.

This section will show you everything you need to know about loading pipelines, how to load different components in a pipeline, how to load checkpoint variants, and how to load community pipelines. You'll also learn how to load schedulers and compare the speed and quality trade-offs of using different schedulers.
