Just playing with getting CLIP Guided Diffusion running locally, rather than having to use colab.
Original colab notebooks by Katherine Crowson (https://github.com/crowsonkb, https://twitter.com/RiversHaveWings):
It uses OpenAI's 256x256 unconditional ImageNet diffusion model (https://github.com/openai/guided-diffusion)
It uses a 512x512 unconditional ImageNet diffusion model fine-tuned from OpenAI's 512x512 class-conditional ImageNet diffusion model (https://github.com/openai/guided-diffusion)
Together with CLIP (https://github.com/openai/CLIP), they connect text prompts with images.
Either the 256 or 512 model can be used here (by setting --output_size
to either 256 or 512)
Some example images:
"A woman standing in a park":
"An alien landscape":
"A painting of a man":
*images enhanced with Real-ESRGAN

- Ubuntu 20.04 (Windows untested but should work)
- Anaconda
- Nvidia RTX 3090
Typical VRAM requirments:
- 256 defaults: 10 GB
- 512 defaults: 18 GB
This example uses Anaconda to manage virtual Python environments.
Create a new virtual Python environment for CLIP-Guided-Diffusion:
conda create --name cgd python=3.9
conda activate cgd
Download and change directory:
git clone https://github.com/nerdyrodent/CLIP-Guided-Diffusion.git
cd CLIP-Guided-Diffusion
Run the setup file:
./setup.sh
Or if you want to run the commands manually:
# Install dependencies
pip3 install torch==1.9.0+cu111 torchvision==0.10.0+cu111 torchaudio==0.9.0 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
git clone https://github.com/openai/CLIP
git clone https://github.com/crowsonkb/guided-diffusion
pip install -e ./CLIP
pip install -e ./guided-diffusion
pip install lpips matplotlib
# Download the diffusion models
curl -OL --http1.1 'https://the-eye.eu/public/AI/models/512x512_diffusion_unconditional_ImageNet/512x512_diffusion_uncond_finetune_008100.pt'
curl -OL 'https://openaipublic.blob.core.windows.net/diffusion/jul-2021/256x256_diffusion_uncond.pt'
The simplest way to run is just to pass in your text prompt. For example:
python generate_diffuse.py -p "A painting of an apple"
Text and image prompts can be split using the pipe symbol in order to allow multiple prompts. You can also use a colon followed by a number to set a weight for that prompt. For example:
python generate_diffuse.py -p "A painting of an apple:1.5|a surreal painting of a weird apple:0.5"
There are a variety of other options to play with. Use help to display them:
python generate_diffuse.py -h
usage: generate_diffuse.py [-h] [-p PROMPTS] [-ip IMAGE_PROMPTS] [-ii INIT_IMAGE]
[-st SKIP_TIMESTEPS] [-is INIT_SCALE] [-m CLIP_MODEL] [-t TIMESTEPS]
[-ds DIFFUSION_STEPS] [-se SAVE_EVERY] [-bs BATCH_SIZE] [-nb N_BATCHES] [-cuts CUTN]
[-cutb CUTN_BATCHES] [-cutp CUT_POW] [-cgs CLIP_GUIDANCE_SCALE]
[-tvs TV_SCALE] [-rgs RANGE_SCALE] [-os IMAGE_SIZE] [-s SEED] [-o OUTPUT] [-nfp] [-pl]
- 'skip_timesteps' needs to be between approx. 200 and 500 when using an init image.
- 'init_scale' enhances the effect of the init image, a good value is 1000.
The number of timesteps, or one of ddim25, ddim50, ddim150, ddim250, ddim500, ddim1000. Must go into diffusion_steps.
- 'clip_guidance_scale' Controls how much the image should look like the prompt.
- 'tv_scale' Controls the smoothness of the final output.
- 'range_scale' Controls how far out of range RGB values are allowed to be.
Examples using a number of options:
python generate_diffuse.py -p "An amazing fractal" -os=256 -cgs=1000 -tvs=50 -rgs=50 -cuts=16 -cutb=4 -t=200 -se=200 -m=ViT-B/32 -o=my_fractal.png
python generate_diffuse.py -p "An impressionist painting of a cat:1.75|trending on artstation:0.25" -cgs=500 -tvs=55 -rgs=50 -cuts=16 -cutb=2 -t=100 -ds=2000 -m=ViT-B/32 -pl -o=cat_100.png
(Funny looking cat, but hey!)
Using the -vid
option saves the diffusion steps and makes a video. The steps can also be upscaled if you have the portable version of https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN installed locally, and opt to do so.
