PixArt-Σ¶
PixArt-Σ: Weak-to-Strong Training of Diffusion Transformer for 4K Text-to-Image Generation is Junsong Chen, Jincheng Yu, Chongjian Ge, Lewei Yao, Enze Xie, Yue Wu, Zhongdao Wang, James Kwok, Ping Luo, Huchuan Lu, and Zhenguo Li.
The abstract from the paper is:
In this paper, we introduce PixArt-Σ, a Diffusion Transformer model (DiT) capable of directly generating images at 4K resolution. PixArt-Σ represents a significant advancement over its predecessor, PixArt-α, offering images of markedly higher fidelity and improved alignment with text prompts. A key feature of PixArt-Σ is its training efficiency. Leveraging the foundational pre-training of PixArt-α, it evolves from the ‘weaker’ baseline to a ‘stronger’ model via incorporating higher quality data, a process we term “weak-to-strong training”. The advancements in PixArt-Σ are twofold: (1) High-Quality Training Data: PixArt-Σ incorporates superior-quality image data, paired with more precise and detailed image captions. (2) Efficient Token Compression: we propose a novel attention module within the DiT framework that compresses both keys and values, significantly improving efficiency and facilitating ultra-high-resolution image generation. Thanks to these improvements, PixArt-Σ achieves superior image quality and user prompt adherence capabilities with significantly smaller model size (0.6B parameters) than existing text-to-image diffusion models, such as SDXL (2.6B parameters) and SD Cascade (5.1B parameters). Moreover, PixArt-Σ’s capability to generate 4K images supports the creation of high-resolution posters and wallpapers, efficiently bolstering the production of highquality visual content in industries such as film and gaming.
You can find the original codebase at PixArt-alpha/PixArt-sigma and all the available checkpoints at PixArt-alpha.
Some notes about this pipeline:
- It uses a Transformer backbone (instead of a UNet) for denoising. As such it has a similar architecture as DiT.
- It was trained using text conditions computed from T5. This aspect makes the pipeline better at following complex text prompts with intricate details.
- It is good at producing high-resolution images at different aspect ratios. To get the best results, the authors recommend some size brackets which can be found here.
- It rivals the quality of state-of-the-art text-to-image generation systems (as of this writing) such as PixArt-α, Stable Diffusion XL, Playground V2.0 and DALL-E 3, while being more efficient than them.
- It shows the ability of generating super high resolution images, such as 2048px or even 4K.
- It shows that text-to-image models can grow from a weak model to a stronger one through several improvements (VAEs, datasets, and so on.)
Tip
Make sure to check out the Schedulers guide to learn how to explore the tradeoff between scheduler speed and quality, and see the reuse components across pipelines section to learn how to efficiently load the same components into multiple pipelines.
Tip
You can further improve generation quality by passing the generated image from PixArtSigmaPipeline
to the SDXL refiner model.
