## DFloat11 Compressed Model: `stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3.5-large` |
|
|
|
This is a **losslessly compressed** version of [`stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3.5-large`](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3.5-large) using our custom **DFloat11** format. |
|
|
|
### π‘ Key Benefits |
|
|
|
* β
**Bit-for-bit identical outputs** to the original BFloat16 model |
|
* π **\~30% reduction in model size** (from **16GB** β **11.3GB**) |
|
* π§ **Lower memory requirements**: now runs on **16GB GPUs** |
|
* β‘ **Minimal performance overhead**: barely any slower than the full model |
|
|
|
DFloat11 compresses the model weights while preserving full numerical precision. This allows you to run `stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3.5-large` on more accessible hardware, with **no compromise in output quality**. |
|
|
|
### π How It Works |
|
|
|
DFloat11 compresses model weights using **Huffman coding** of BFloat16 exponent bits, combined with **hardware-aware algorithmic designs** that enable efficient on-the-fly decompression directly on the GPU. During inference, the weights remain compressed in GPU memory and are **decompressed just before matrix multiplications**, then **immediately discarded after use** to minimize memory footprint. |
|
|
|
Advantages: |
|
* **Fully GPU-based**: no CPU decompression or host-device data transfer. |
|
* DFloat11 is **much faster than CPU-offloading approaches**, enabling practical deployment in memory-constrained environments. |
|
* The compression is **fully lossless**, guaranteeing that the modelβs outputs are **bit-for-bit identical** to those of the original model. |
|

|
### π§ How to Use |
|
|
|
1. Install or upgrade the DFloat11 pip package *(installs the CUDA kernel automatically; requires a CUDA-compatible GPU and PyTorch installed)*: |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
pip install -U dfloat11[cuda12] |
|
# or if you have CUDA version 11: |
|
# pip install -U dfloat11[cuda11] |
|
``` |
|
|
|
2. Install or upgrade the diffusers package. |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
pip install -U diffusers |
|
``` |
|
|
|
3. To use the DFloat11 model, run the following example code in Python: |
|
```python |
|
import torch |
|
from diffusers import StableDiffusion3Pipeline |
|
from dfloat11 import DFloat11Model |
|
|
|
pipe = StableDiffusion3Pipeline.from_pretrained("stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3.5-large", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16) |
|
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload() |
|
|
|
DFloat11Model.from_pretrained('DFloat11/stable-diffusion-3.5-large-DF11', device='cpu', bfloat16_model=pipe.transformer) |
|
|
|
image = pipe( |
|
"A capybara holding a sign that reads Hello World", |
|
num_inference_steps=28, |
|
guidance_scale=3.5, |
|
).images[0] |
|
image.save("capybara.png") |
|
``` |
