This pipeline shows how to superimpose different text prompts from [Stable Diffusion-XL 1.0](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0) based the paper [The Superposition of Diffusion Models Using the Itô Density Estimator](https://www.arxiv.org/abs/2412.17762). The authors would like to thank Viktor Ohanesian for developing the SD-XL pipeline.

## Requirements

This pipeline can be run with the following packages & versions:
- `PyTorch 2.5.1`
- `Diffusers 0.32.1`
- `Accelerate 1.2.1`
- `Transformers 4.47.1`

You can install these with:

```
pip install torch
pip install diffusers accelerate transformers
```

## Example usage

```
from PIL import Image
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline

pipeline = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("superdiff/superdiff-sdxl-v1-0", custom_pipeline='pipeline', trust_remote_code=True)
output = pipeline("a flamingo", "a candy cane", seed=1, num_inference_steps=200, batch_size=1)

image = Image.fromarray(output[0])
image.save("superdiff_output.png")
```

Arguments that can be set by user in `pipeline()`:

- `prompt_1` [required]: text prompt describing first concept to superimpose (e.g. "a flamingo")
- `prompt_2`[required]: text prompt describing second concept to superimpose (e.g. "a candy cane")
- `seed`[optional: default=None]: seed for random noise generator for reproducibility; for non-deterministic outputs, set to `None`
- `num_inference_steps`[optional: default=200]: number of denoising steps 
- `batch_size` [optional: default=1]: batch size
- `guidance_scale` [optional: default=7.5]: scale for classifier-free guidance
- `height`, `width` [optional: default=1024]: height and width of generated images (we recommend leaving it at 1024!)
