composer VS MultiDiffusion

And like others say, «soon to be released» is not very credible. DeepFloyd IF was in the «any day now» stage for like half a year, until it became obsolete. Composer from Ant&Alibaba is still not released and I suspect it won't ever be, not even the code.

Quick Read: https://www.marktechpost.com/2023/03/02/alibaba-ai-research-proposes-composer-a-large-5-billion-parameters-controllable-diffusion-model-trained-on-billions-of-text-image-pairs/ Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.09778.pdf Github: https://github.com/damo-vilab/composer Project: https://damo-vilab.github.io/composer-page/

If we combine Mixture of Diffusers + MultiDiffusion+ Composer+ cross-domain-compositing and probably some more I'm not thinking of.

and it will be released under an open sourced MIT license: https://github.com/damo-vilab/composer

For composing this approach works pretty well

So I've continued to experiment with how many papers I can fit into a single pipe and have them play nicely together. The images below were created by combining the panorama code from omerbt/MultiDiffusion with the ideas from albarji/mixture-of-diffusers. Also turns out nateraw/stable-diffusion-videos can be seen as a special case of a panorama (in latent space rather than prompt space).

Essentially, I fine-tuned Stable Diffusion 2.1 base (the 512x512) model on the ESA Hubble Deep Space Images & Captions dataset I collected from public Hubble images & captions. After around 33,000 training steps, I saved the model and was really impressed by the results. But I really wanted to be able to generate wallpaper-level quality space images, so I stumbled upon MultiDiffusion: a new project for generating massive panorama images using stable diffusion models. I then used hubble-diffusion-2 along with MultiDiffusion to generate each one of these amazing 2560x1536 images. Each image took a little over an hour to generate on a Google Colab T4 GPU. I used the following prompts for each of these images:

If you need generated and not upscaled 4k for some reason, try something like https://github.com/omerbt/MultiDiffusion

Project: https://multidiffusion.github.io/ Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.08113 GitHub: https://github.com/omerbt/MultiDiffusion

Quick Read: https://www.marktechpost.com/2023/02/24/meet-multidiffusion-a-unified-ai-framework-that-enables-versatile-and-controllable-image-generation-using-a-pre-trained-text-to-image-diffusion-model/ Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.08113 Github: https://github.com/omerbt/MultiDiffusion Project: https://multidiffusion.github.io/

So I haven't made many images with Stable Diffusion despite using it heavily. The reason is I've been messing with the internals of the diffusion pipe, to interfere with the diffusion process in different ways. Todays fun result is based on omerbt/MultiDiffusion for making panoramas.
