open_clip VS stablediffusion

While OpenAI’s CLIP model has garnered a lot of attention, it is far from the only game in town—and far from the best! On the OpenCLIP leaderboard, for instance, the largest and most capable CLIP model from OpenAI ranks just 41st(!) in its average zero-shot accuracy across 38 datasets.

Whenever I’m working on semantic search applications that connect images and text, I start with a family of models known as contrastive language image pre-training (CLIP). These models are trained on image-text pairs to generate similar vector representations or embeddings for images and their captions, and dissimilar vectors when images are paired with other text strings. There are multiple CLIP-style models, including OpenCLIP and MetaCLIP, but for simplicity we’ll focus on the original CLIP model from OpenAI. No model is perfect, and at a fundamental level there is no right way to compare images and text, but CLIP certainly provides a good starting point.

It is a misconception that Adobe's models have not been trained on copyrighted work. Nobody should be repeating their marketing claims.

Adobe has not shown how they train the text encoders in Firefly, or what images were used for the text-based conditioning (i.e. "text to image") part of their image generation model. They are almost certainly using CLIP or T5, which are trained on LAION2b, an image dataset with the very problems they are trying to address, C4 (a text dataset similarly encumbered) and similar.

I welcome anyone who works at Adobe to simply answer this question of how they trained the text encoders for text conditioning and put it to rest. There is absolutely nothing sensitive about the issue, unless it exposes them in a lie.

So no chance. I think it's a big fat lie. They'd have to have made some other scientific breakthrough, which they didn't.

Using information from https://openai.com/research/clip and https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_clip, it's possible to investigate the likelihood that using just their stock image dataset, can they make a working text encoder?

It's certainly not impossible, but it's impracticable. On 248m images (roughly the size of Adobe Stock), CLIP gets 37% on ImageNet, and on the 2000m from LAION, it performs 71-80%. And even with 2000m images, CLIP is substantially worse performing than the approach that Imagen uses for "text comprehension," which relies on essentially many billions more images and text tokens.

in the modal card it says: pretrained text encoders (OpenCLIP-ViT/G and CLIP-ViT/L).

also, if you describe your task a bit more, we might be able to direct you to a fairly out-of-the-box solution, e.g. you might be able to use one of the pretrained models supported by https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_clip without any additional training

It says on the Stable Diffusion Github repo that it uses the “OpenCLIP-ViT/H” https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_clip model as a text encoder, and from my prior experience with CLIP, I have found that it is very easy to generate image and text embeddings (because CLIP is a multimodal model).

using:

cfg.apply_low_vram_defaults()

interrogate_fast()

I tried lighter models like vit32/laion400 and others etc all are very very slow to load or use (model list: https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_clip)

I'm desperately looking for something more modest and light.

A library that is very useful for this kind of application is timm. You may also find the feature representation provided by a CLIP model particularly powerful.

With this tutorial's help, you can generate images with AI on your own computer with Stable Diffusion.

If your PC has a GPU(Nvidia RTX 30series+ recommended) of VRAM more than 4GB then try training your own Stable Diffusion model.

Command: "git" clone "https://github.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion.git" "C:\Users\Naveed\Documents\A1111 Web UI Autoinstaller\stable-diffusion-webui\repositories\stable-diffusion-stability-ai"

Automatic11112 and sygil-webui aren't "distributions" of Stable Diffusion. This is a repository with some distributions of Stable Diffusion.

New stable diffusion finetune (Stable unCLIP 2.1, Hugging Face) at 768x768 resolution, based on SD2.1-768. This model allows for image variations and mixing operations as described in Hierarchical Text-Conditional Image Generation with CLIP Latents, and, thanks to its modularity, can be combined with other models such as KARLO. Comes in two variants: Stable unCLIP-L and Stable unCLIP-H, which are conditioned on CLIP ViT-L and ViT-H image embeddings, respectively. Instructions are available here.

This model will soon be open-sourced in StabilityAI’s GitHub.

Another question, if that's ok? Stable Diffusion 2.0 - https://github.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion - if I wanted to use that, do I follow along their instructions and it will work on the M1 still, or you advise against it?

But if you want to run a 2.x-based model, you'll need to download the corresponding YAML file (either the standard one – v2-inference-v.yaml – from Github or the one that is distributed with the model, if it requires a special one), rename it to have the same name as the model, and place it in the models folder alongside the model.
