What is PixArt-XL-2-1024-MS?
PixArt-XL-2-1024-MS is a revolutionary text-to-image diffusion transformer model that combines exceptional efficiency with high-quality image generation capabilities. It generates 1024px images directly from text prompts in a single sampling process, using pure transformer blocks for latent diffusion.
Implementation Details
The model utilizes T5 for text encoding and a specialized VAE for latent feature encoding. It's implemented using the diffusers library and can be accelerated using torch.compile for 20-30% faster inference on torch >= 2.0. The model achieves its results with significantly less computational resources than competitors, requiring only 675 A100 GPU days compared to SD 1.5's 6,250.
