What is kandinsky-3?
Kandinsky-3 represents a significant evolution in the text-to-image diffusion model space, building upon its predecessors in the Kandinsky2-x family. This open-source model is specially designed with enhanced capabilities for generating images related to Russian culture, while also maintaining exceptional general-purpose image generation abilities. The model architecture comprises three main components: a massive 8.6B parameter Flan-UL2 text encoder, a 3B parameter Latent Diffusion U-Net, and a 267M parameter MoVQ encoder/decoder.
Implementation Details
The model is implemented using the Diffusers framework and offers both base and inpainting variants. The base model underwent extensive training for 2M steps on 400 A100 GPUs, while the inpainting version was fine-tuned for an additional 250k steps on 300 A100 GPUs.
