# Stable-Diffusion-v2.1: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices

Generates high resolution images from text prompts using a latent diffusion model. This model uses CLIP ViT-L/14 as text encoder, U-Net based latent denoising, and VAE based decoder to generate the final image.

This is based on the implementation of Stable-Diffusion-v2.1 found [here](https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion/tree/main).
This repository contains pre-exported model files optimized for Qualcomm® devices. You can use the [Qualcomm® AI Hub Models](https://github.com/qualcomm/ai-hub-models/blob/main/qai_hub_models/models/stable_diffusion_v2_1) library to export with custom configurations. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found [here](#performance-summary).

Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses [Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench](https://workbench.aihub.qualcomm.com) to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. [Sign up](https://myaccount.qualcomm.com/signup) to run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device.

## Deploy to Snapdragon X Elite NPU
Please follow the [Stable Diffusion Windows App](https://github.com/quic/ai-hub-apps/tree/main/apps/windows/python/StableDiffusion) tutorial to quantize model with custom weights.

## Quantize and Deploy Your Own Fine-Tuned Stable Diffusion

Please follow the [Quantize Stable Diffusion]({REPOSITORY_URL}/tutorials/stable_diffusion/quantize_stable_diffusion.md) tutorial to quantize model with custom weights.
