SDXL training

The documentation in this section will be moved to a separate document later.

Training scripts for SDXL

sdxl_train.py is a script for SDXL fine-tuning. The usage is almost the same as fine_tune.py, but it also supports DreamBooth dataset.
- --full_bf16 option is added. Thanks to KohakuBlueleaf!
  - This option enables the full bfloat16 training (includes gradients). This option is useful to reduce the GPU memory usage.
  - The full bfloat16 training might be unstable. Please use it at your own risk.
- The different learning rates for each U-Net block are now supported in sdxl_train.py. Specify with --block_lr option. Specify 23 values separated by commas like --block_lr 1e-3,1e-3 ... 1e-3.
  - 23 values correspond to 0: time/label embed, 1-9: input blocks 0-8, 10-12: mid blocks 0-2, 13-21: output blocks 0-8, 22: out.
prepare_buckets_latents.py now supports SDXL fine-tuning.
sdxl_train_network.py is a script for LoRA training for SDXL. The usage is almost the same as train_network.py.
Both scripts has following additional options:
- --cache_text_encoder_outputs and --cache_text_encoder_outputs_to_disk: Cache the outputs of the text encoders. This option is useful to reduce the GPU memory usage. This option cannot be used with options for shuffling or dropping the captions.
- --no_half_vae: Disable the half-precision (mixed-precision) VAE. VAE for SDXL seems to produce NaNs in some cases. This option is useful to avoid the NaNs.
--weighted_captions option is not supported yet for both scripts.
sdxl_train_textual_inversion.py is a script for Textual Inversion training for SDXL. The usage is almost the same as train_textual_inversion.py.
- --cache_text_encoder_outputs is not supported.
- There are two options for captions:
  1. Training with captions. All captions must include the token string. The token string is replaced with multiple tokens.
  2. Use --use_object_template or --use_style_template option. The captions are generated from the template. The existing captions are ignored.
- See below for the format of the embeddings.
--min_timestep and --max_timestep options are added to each training script. These options can be used to train U-Net with different timesteps. The default values are 0 and 1000.

Utility scripts for SDXL

tools/cache_latents.py is added. This script can be used to cache the latents to disk in advance.
- The options are almost the same as `sdxl_train.py'. See the help message for the usage.
- Please launch the script as follows: accelerate launch --num_cpu_threads_per_process 1 tools/cache_latents.py ...
- This script should work with multi-GPU, but it is not tested in my environment.
tools/cache_text_encoder_outputs.py is added. This script can be used to cache the text encoder outputs to disk in advance.
- The options are almost the same as cache_latents.py and sdxl_train.py. See the help message for the usage.
sdxl_gen_img.py is added. This script can be used to generate images with SDXL, including LoRA, Textual Inversion and ControlNet-LLLite. See the help message for the usage.

Tips for SDXL training

The default resolution of SDXL is 1024x1024.
The fine-tuning can be done with 24GB GPU memory with the batch size of 1. For 24GB GPU, the following options are recommended for the fine-tuning with 24GB GPU memory:
- Train U-Net only.
- Use gradient checkpointing.
- Use --cache_text_encoder_outputs option and caching latents.
- Use Adafactor optimizer. RMSprop 8bit or Adagrad 8bit may work. AdamW 8bit doesn't seem to work.
The LoRA training can be done with 8GB GPU memory (10GB recommended). For reducing the GPU memory usage, the following options are recommended:
- Train U-Net only.
- Use gradient checkpointing.
- Use --cache_text_encoder_outputs option and caching latents.
- Use one of 8bit optimizers or Adafactor optimizer.
- Use lower dim (4 to 8 for 8GB GPU).
--network_train_unet_only option is highly recommended for SDXL LoRA. Because SDXL has two text encoders, the result of the training will be unexpected.
PyTorch 2 seems to use slightly less GPU memory than PyTorch 1.
--bucket_reso_steps can be set to 32 instead of the default value 64. Smaller values than 32 will not work for SDXL training.

Example of the optimizer settings for Adafactor with the fixed learning rate:

optimizer_type = "adafactor"
optimizer_args = [ "scale_parameter=False", "relative_step=False", "warmup_init=False" ]
lr_scheduler = "constant_with_warmup"
lr_warmup_steps = 100
learning_rate = 4e-7 # SDXL original learning rate

Format of Textual Inversion embeddings for SDXL

from safetensors.torch import save_file

state_dict = {"clip_g": embs_for_text_encoder_1280, "clip_l": embs_for_text_encoder_768}
save_file(state_dict, file)

ControlNet-LLLite

ControlNet-LLLite, a novel method for ControlNet with SDXL, is added. See documentation for details.

[Experimental] The --fp8_base option is added to the training scripts for LoRA etc. The base model (U-Net, and Text Encoder when training modules for Text Encoder) can be trained with fp8. PR #1057 Thanks to KohakuBlueleaf!
- Please specify --fp8_base in train_network.py or sdxl_train_network.py.
- PyTorch 2.1 or later is required.
- If you use xformers with PyTorch 2.1, please see xformers repository and install the appropriate version according to your CUDA version.
- The sample image generation during training consumes a lot of memory. It is recommended to turn it off.
[Experimental] The network multiplier can be specified for each dataset in the training scripts for LoRA etc.
- This is an experimental option and may be removed or changed in the future.
- For example, if you train with state A as 1.0 and state B as -1.0, you may be able to generate by switching between state A and B depending on the LoRA application rate.
- Also, if you prepare five states and train them as 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0, you may be able to generate by switching the states smoothly depending on the application rate.
- Please specify network_multiplier in [[datasets]] in .toml file.
Some options are added to networks/extract_lora_from_models.py to reduce the memory usage.
- --load_precision option can be used to specify the precision when loading the model. If the model is saved in fp16, you can reduce the memory usage by specifying --load_precision fp16 without losing precision.
- --load_original_model_to option can be used to specify the device to load the original model. --load_tuned_model_to option can be used to specify the device to load the derived model. The default is cpu for both options, but you can specify cuda etc. You can reduce the memory usage by loading one of them to GPU. This option is available only for SDXL.
The gradient synchronization in LoRA training with multi-GPU is improved. PR #1064 Thanks to KohakuBlueleaf!
The code for Intel IPEX support is improved. PR #1060 Thanks to akx!
Fixed a bug in multi-GPU Textual Inversion training.
（実験的）　LoRA等の学習スクリプトで、ベースモデル（U-Net、および Text Encoder のモジュール学習時は Text Encoder も）の重みを fp8 にして学習するオプションが追加されました。 PR #1057 KohakuBlueleaf 氏に感謝します。
- train_network.py または sdxl_train_network.py で --fp8_base を指定してください。
- PyTorch 2.1 以降が必要です。
- PyTorch 2.1 で xformers を使用する場合は、xformers のリポジトリを参照し、CUDA バージョンに応じて適切なバージョンをインストールしてください。
- 学習中のサンプル画像生成はメモリを大量に消費するため、オフにすることをお勧めします。
(実験的)　LoRA 等の学習で、データセットごとに異なるネットワーク適用率を指定できるようになりました。
- 実験的オプションのため、将来的に削除または仕様変更される可能性があります。
- たとえば状態 A を 1.0、状態 B を -1.0 として学習すると、LoRA の適用率に応じて状態 A と B を切り替えつつ生成できるかもしれません。
- また、五段階の状態を用意し、それぞれ 0.2、0.4、0.6、0.8、1.0 として学習すると、適用率でなめらかに状態を切り替えて生成できるかもしれません。
- .toml ファイルで [[datasets]] に network_multiplier を指定してください。
networks/extract_lora_from_models.py に使用メモリ量を削減するいくつかのオプションを追加しました。
- --load_precision で読み込み時の精度を指定できます。モデルが fp16 で保存されている場合は --load_precision fp16 を指定して精度を変えずにメモリ量を削減できます。
- --load_original_model_to で元モデルを読み込むデバイスを、--load_tuned_model_to で派生モデルを読み込むデバイスを指定できます。デフォルトは両方とも cpu ですがそれぞれ cuda 等を指定できます。片方を GPU に読み込むことでメモリ量を削減できます。SDXL の場合のみ有効です。
マルチ GPU での LoRA 等の学習時に勾配の同期が改善されました。 PR #1064 KohakuBlueleaf 氏に感謝します。
Intel IPEX サポートのコードが改善されました。PR #1060 akx 氏に感謝します。
マルチ GPU での Textual Inversion 学習の不具合を修正しました。

Sample image generation during training

A prompt file might look like this, for example

# prompt 1
masterpiece, best quality, (1girl), in white shirts, upper body, looking at viewer, simple background --n low quality, worst quality, bad anatomy,bad composition, poor, low effort --w 768 --h 768 --d 1 --l 7.5 --s 28

# prompt 2
masterpiece, best quality, 1boy, in business suit, standing at street, looking back --n (low quality, worst quality), bad anatomy,bad composition, poor, low effort --w 576 --h 832 --d 2 --l 5.5 --s 40

Lines beginning with # are comments. You can specify options for the generated image with options like --n after the prompt. The following can be used.

--n Negative prompt up to the next option.
--w Specifies the width of the generated image.
--h Specifies the height of the generated image.
--d Specifies the seed of the generated image.
--l Specifies the CFG scale of the generated image.
--s Specifies the number of steps in the generation.
