# Kandinsky

[[open-in-colab]]

The Kandinsky models are a series of multilingual text-to-image generation models. The Kandinsky 2.0 model uses two multilingual text encoders and concatenates those results for the UNet.

[Kandinsky 2.1](../api/pipelines/kandinsky) changes the architecture to include an image prior model ([`CLIP`](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/clip)) to generate a mapping between text and image embeddings. The mapping provides better text-image alignment and it is used with the text embeddings during training, leading to higher quality results. Finally, Kandinsky 2.1 uses a [Modulating Quantized Vectors (MoVQ)](https://huggingface.co/papers/2209.09002) decoder - which adds a spatial conditional normalization layer to increase photorealism - to decode the latents into images.

[Kandinsky 2.2](../api/pipelines/kandinsky_v22) improves on the previous model by replacing the image encoder of the image prior model with a larger CLIP-ViT-G model to improve quality. The image prior model was also retrained on images with different resolutions and aspect ratios to generate higher-resolution images and different image sizes.

[Kandinsky 3](../api/pipelines/kandinsky3) simplifies the architecture and shifts away from the two-stage generation process involving the prior model and diffusion model. Instead, Kandinsky 3 uses [Flan-UL2](https://huggingface.co/google/flan-ul2) to encode text, a UNet with [BigGan-deep](https://hf.co/papers/1809.11096) blocks, and [Sber-MoVQGAN](https://github.com/ai-forever/MoVQGAN) to decode the latents into images. Text understanding and generated image quality are primarily achieved by using a larger text encoder and UNet.

This guide will show you how to use the Kandinsky models for text-to-image, image-to-image, inpainting, interpolation, and more.

Before you begin, make sure you have the following libraries installed:

```py
# uncomment to install the necessary libraries in Colab
#!pip install -q diffusers transformers accelerate
```

<Tip warning={true}>

Kandinsky 2.1 and 2.2 usage is very similar! The only difference is Kandinsky 2.2 doesn't accept `prompt` as an input when decoding the latents. Instead, Kandinsky 2.2 only accepts `image_embeds` during decoding.

<br>

Kandinsky 3 has a more concise architecture and it doesn't require a prior model. This means it's usage is identical to other diffusion models like [Stable Diffusion XL](sdxl).

</Tip>

## Text-to-image

To use the Kandinsky models for any task, you always start by setting up the prior pipeline to encode the prompt and generate the image embeddings. The prior pipeline also generates `negative_image_embeds` that correspond to the negative prompt `""`. For better results, you can pass an actual `negative_prompt` to the prior pipeline, but this'll increase the effective batch size of the prior pipeline by 2x.

<hfoptions id="text-to-image">
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 2.1">

```py
from diffusers import KandinskyPriorPipeline, KandinskyPipeline
import torch

prior_pipeline = KandinskyPriorPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-1-prior", torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda")
pipeline = KandinskyPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-1", torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda")

prompt = "A alien cheeseburger creature eating itself, claymation, cinematic, moody lighting"
negative_prompt = "low quality, bad quality" # optional to include a negative prompt, but results are usually better
image_embeds, negative_image_embeds = prior_pipeline(prompt, negative_prompt, guidance_scale=1.0).to_tuple()
```

Now pass all the prompts and embeddings to the [`KandinskyPipeline`] to generate an image:

```py
image = pipeline(prompt, image_embeds=image_embeds, negative_prompt=negative_prompt, negative_image_embeds=negative_image_embeds, height=768, width=768).images[0]
image
```

<div class="flex justify-center">

</div>

</hfoption>
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 2.2">

```py
from diffusers import KandinskyV22PriorPipeline, KandinskyV22Pipeline
import torch

prior_pipeline = KandinskyV22PriorPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-2-prior", torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda")
pipeline = KandinskyV22Pipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-2-decoder", torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda")

prompt = "A alien cheeseburger creature eating itself, claymation, cinematic, moody lighting"
negative_prompt = "low quality, bad quality" # optional to include a negative prompt, but results are usually better
image_embeds, negative_image_embeds = prior_pipeline(prompt, guidance_scale=1.0).to_tuple()
```

Pass the `image_embeds` and `negative_image_embeds` to the [`KandinskyV22Pipeline`] to generate an image:

```py
image = pipeline(image_embeds=image_embeds, negative_image_embeds=negative_image_embeds, height=768, width=768).images[0]
image
```

<div class="flex justify-center">

</div>

</hfoption>
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 3">

Kandinsky 3 doesn't require a prior model so you can directly load the [`Kandinsky3Pipeline`] and pass a prompt to generate an image:

```py
from diffusers import Kandinsky3Pipeline
import torch

pipeline = Kandinsky3Pipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-3", variant="fp16", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
pipeline.enable_model_cpu_offload()

prompt = "A alien cheeseburger creature eating itself, claymation, cinematic, moody lighting"
image = pipeline(prompt).images[0]
image
```

</hfoption>
</hfoptions>

🤗 Diffusers also provides an end-to-end API with the [`KandinskyCombinedPipeline`] and [`KandinskyV22CombinedPipeline`], meaning you don't have to separately load the prior and text-to-image pipeline. The combined pipeline automatically loads both the prior model and the decoder. You can still set different values for the prior pipeline with the `prior_guidance_scale` and `prior_num_inference_steps` parameters if you want.

Use the [`AutoPipelineForText2Image`] to automatically call the combined pipelines under the hood:

<hfoptions id="text-to-image">
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 2.1">

```py
from diffusers import AutoPipelineForText2Image
import torch

pipeline = AutoPipelineForText2Image.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-1", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
pipeline.enable_model_cpu_offload()

prompt = "A alien cheeseburger creature eating itself, claymation, cinematic, moody lighting"
negative_prompt = "low quality, bad quality"

image = pipeline(prompt=prompt, negative_prompt=negative_prompt, prior_guidance_scale=1.0, guidance_scale=4.0, height=768, width=768).images[0]
image

## Image-to-image

For image-to-image, pass the initial image and text prompt to condition the image to the pipeline. Start by loading the prior pipeline:

<hfoptions id="image-to-image">
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 2.1">

```py
import torch
from diffusers import KandinskyImg2ImgPipeline, KandinskyPriorPipeline

prior_pipeline = KandinskyPriorPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-1-prior", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True).to("cuda")
pipeline = KandinskyImg2ImgPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-1", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True).to("cuda")
```

</hfoption>
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 2.2">

pipeline = KandinskyV22Img2ImgPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-2-decoder", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True).to("cuda")
```

</hfoption>
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 3">

Kandinsky 3 doesn't require a prior model so you can directly load the image-to-image pipeline:

```py
from diffusers import Kandinsky3Img2ImgPipeline
from diffusers.utils import load_image
import torch

pipeline = Kandinsky3Img2ImgPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-3", variant="fp16", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
pipeline.enable_model_cpu_offload()
```

</hfoption>
</hfoptions>

Download an image to condition on:

```py
from diffusers.utils import load_image

# download image
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion/main/assets/stable-samples/img2img/sketch-mountains-input.jpg"
original_image = load_image(url)
original_image = original_image.resize((768, 512))
```

<div class="flex justify-center">
    <img class="rounded-xl" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion/main/assets/stable-samples/img2img/sketch-mountains-input.jpg"/>
</div>

Generate the `image_embeds` and `negative_image_embeds` with the prior pipeline:

```py
prompt = "A fantasy landscape, Cinematic lighting"
negative_prompt = "low quality, bad quality"

image_embeds, negative_image_embeds = prior_pipeline(prompt, negative_prompt).to_tuple()
```

Now pass the original image, and all the prompts and embeddings to the pipeline to generate an image:

<hfoptions id="image-to-image">
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 2.1">

```py

🤗 Diffusers also provides an end-to-end API with the [`KandinskyImg2ImgCombinedPipeline`] and [`KandinskyV22Img2ImgCombinedPipeline`], meaning you don't have to separately load the prior and image-to-image pipeline. The combined pipeline automatically loads both the prior model and the decoder. You can still set different values for the prior pipeline with the `prior_guidance_scale` and `prior_num_inference_steps` parameters if you want.

Use the [`AutoPipelineForImage2Image`] to automatically call the combined pipelines under the hood:

```

</hfoption>
</hfoptions>

## Inpainting

<Tip warning={true}>

⚠️ The Kandinsky models use ⬜️ **white pixels** to represent the masked area now instead of black pixels. If you are using [`KandinskyInpaintPipeline`] in production, you need to change the mask to use white pixels:

```py
# For PIL input
import PIL.ImageOps
mask = PIL.ImageOps.invert(mask)

# For PyTorch and NumPy input
mask = 1 - mask
```

</Tip>

For inpainting, you'll need the original image, a mask of the area to replace in the original image, and a text prompt of what to inpaint. Load the prior pipeline:

<hfoptions id="inpaint">
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 2.1">

```py
from diffusers import KandinskyInpaintPipeline, KandinskyPriorPipeline
from diffusers.utils import load_image, make_image_grid
import torch
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image

prior_pipeline = KandinskyPriorPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-1-prior", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True).to("cuda")
pipeline = KandinskyInpaintPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-1-inpaint", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True).to("cuda")
```

</hfoption>
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 2.2">

```py
from diffusers import KandinskyV22InpaintPipeline, KandinskyV22PriorPipeline
from diffusers.utils import load_image, make_image_grid
import torch
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image

prior_pipeline = KandinskyV22PriorPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-2-prior", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True).to("cuda")
pipeline = KandinskyV22InpaintPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-2-decoder-inpaint", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True).to("cuda")
```

</hfoption>
</hfoptions>

Load an initial image and create a mask:

```py
init_image = load_image("https://huggingface.co/datasets/hf-internal-testing/diffusers-images/resolve/main/kandinsky/cat.png")
mask = np.zeros((768, 768), dtype=np.float32)
# mask area above cat's head
mask[:250, 250:-250] = 1
```

Generate the embeddings with the prior pipeline:

```py
prompt = "a hat"
prior_output = prior_pipeline(prompt)
```

Now pass the initial image, mask, and prompt and embeddings to the pipeline to generate an image:

<hfoptions id="inpaint">
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 2.1">

```py
output_image = pipeline(prompt, image=init_image, mask_image=mask, **prior_output, height=768, width=768, num_inference_steps=150).images[0]
mask = Image.fromarray((mask*255).astype('uint8'), 'L')
make_image_grid([init_image, mask, output_image], rows=1, cols=3)
```

<div class="flex justify-center">
    <img class="rounded-xl" src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/diffusers/kandinsky-docs/inpaint_cat_hat.png"/>
</div>

</hfoption>
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 2.2">

```py
output_image = pipeline(image=init_image, mask_image=mask, **prior_output, height=768, width=768, num_inference_steps=150).images[0]
mask = Image.fromarray((mask*255).astype('uint8'), 'L')
make_image_grid([init_image, mask, output_image], rows=1, cols=3)

</div>

</hfoption>
</hfoptions>

You can also use the end-to-end [`KandinskyInpaintCombinedPipeline`] and [`KandinskyV22InpaintCombinedPipeline`] to call the prior and decoder pipelines together under the hood. Use the [`AutoPipelineForInpainting`] for this:

<hfoptions id="inpaint">
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 2.1">

```py

mask = np.zeros((768, 768), dtype=np.float32)
# mask area above cat's head
mask[:250, 250:-250] = 1
prompt = "a hat"

output_image = pipe(prompt=prompt, image=init_image, mask_image=mask).images[0]
mask = Image.fromarray((mask*255).astype('uint8'), 'L')
make_image_grid([init_image, mask, output_image], rows=1, cols=3)
```

</hfoption>
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 2.2">

mask = Image.fromarray((mask*255).astype('uint8'), 'L')
make_image_grid([init_image, mask, output_image], rows=1, cols=3)
```

</hfoption>

## Interpolation

Interpolation allows you to explore the latent space between the image and text embeddings which is a cool way to see some of the prior model's intermediate outputs. Load the prior pipeline and two images you'd like to interpolate:

<hfoptions id="interpolate">
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 2.1">

```py
from diffusers import KandinskyPriorPipeline, KandinskyPipeline
from diffusers.utils import load_image, make_image_grid
import torch

prior_pipeline = KandinskyPriorPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-1-prior", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True).to("cuda")
img_1 = load_image("https://huggingface.co/datasets/hf-internal-testing/diffusers-images/resolve/main/kandinsky/cat.png")
img_2 = load_image("https://huggingface.co/datasets/hf-internal-testing/diffusers-images/resolve/main/kandinsky/starry_night.jpeg")
make_image_grid([img_1.resize((512,512)), img_2.resize((512,512))], rows=1, cols=2)
```

</hfoption>
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 2.2">

```py

prior_pipeline = KandinskyV22PriorPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-2-prior", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True).to("cuda")
img_1 = load_image("https://huggingface.co/datasets/hf-internal-testing/diffusers-images/resolve/main/kandinsky/cat.png")
img_2 = load_image("https://huggingface.co/datasets/hf-internal-testing/diffusers-images/resolve/main/kandinsky/starry_night.jpeg")
make_image_grid([img_1.resize((512,512)), img_2.resize((512,512))], rows=1, cols=2)
```

</hfoption>
</hfoptions>

<div class="flex gap-4">
  <div>
    <img class="rounded-xl" src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/hf-internal-testing/diffusers-images/resolve/main/kandinsky/cat.png"/>
    <figcaption class="mt-2 text-center text-sm text-gray-500">a cat</figcaption>
  </div>
  <div>

    <figcaption class="mt-2 text-center text-sm text-gray-500">Van Gogh's Starry Night painting</figcaption>
  </div>
</div>

Specify the text or images to interpolate, and set the weights for each text or image. Experiment with the weights to see how they affect the interpolation!

```py
images_texts = ["a cat", img_1, img_2]
weights = [0.3, 0.3, 0.4]
```

Call the `interpolate` function to generate the embeddings, and then pass them to the pipeline to generate the image:

<hfoptions id="interpolate">
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 2.1">

```py
# prompt can be left empty
prompt = ""
prior_out = prior_pipeline.interpolate(images_texts, weights)

pipeline = KandinskyPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-1", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True).to("cuda")

image = pipeline(prompt, **prior_out, height=768, width=768).images[0]
image
```

<div class="flex justify-center">
    <img class="rounded-xl" src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/diffusers/kandinsky-docs/starry_cat.png"/>
</div>

</hfoption>
<hfoption id="Kandinsky 2.2">

```py
# prompt can be left empty
prompt = ""
prior_out = prior_pipeline.interpolate(images_texts, weights)

pipeline = KandinskyV22Pipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-2-decoder", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True).to("cuda")

image = pipeline(prompt, **prior_out, height=768, width=768).images[0]
image

</div>

</hfoption>
</hfoptions>

## ControlNet

<Tip warning={true}>

⚠️ ControlNet is only supported for Kandinsky 2.2!

</Tip>

ControlNet enables conditioning large pretrained diffusion models with additional inputs such as a depth map or edge detection. For example, you can condition Kandinsky 2.2 with a depth map so the model understands and preserves the structure of the depth image.

Let's load an image and extract it's depth map:

```py
from diffusers.utils import load_image

img = load_image(
    "https://huggingface.co/datasets/hf-internal-testing/diffusers-images/resolve/main/kandinskyv22/cat.png"
).resize((768, 768))
img
```

<div class="flex justify-center">
    <img class="rounded-xl" src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/hf-internal-testing/diffusers-images/resolve/main/kandinskyv22/cat.png"/>
</div>

Then you can use the `depth-estimation` [`~transformers.Pipeline`] from 🤗 Transformers to process the image and retrieve the depth map:

```py
import torch
import numpy as np

from transformers import pipeline

def make_hint(image, depth_estimator):
    image = depth_estimator(image)["depth"]
    image = np.array(image)
    image = image[:, :, None]
    image = np.concatenate([image, image, image], axis=2)
    detected_map = torch.from_numpy(image).float() / 255.0
    hint = detected_map.permute(2, 0, 1)
    return hint

depth_estimator = pipeline("depth-estimation")
hint = make_hint(img, depth_estimator).unsqueeze(0).half().to("cuda")
```

### Text-to-image [[controlnet-text-to-image]]

Load the prior pipeline and the [`KandinskyV22ControlnetPipeline`]:

```py
from diffusers import KandinskyV22PriorPipeline, KandinskyV22ControlnetPipeline

prior_pipeline = KandinskyV22PriorPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-2-prior", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True
).to("cuda")

pipeline = KandinskyV22ControlnetPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-2-controlnet-depth", torch_dtype=torch.float16
).to("cuda")
```

Generate the image embeddings from a prompt and negative prompt:

```py
prompt = "A robot, 4k photo"
negative_prior_prompt = "lowres, text, error, cropped, worst quality, low quality, jpeg artifacts, ugly, duplicate, morbid, mutilated, out of frame, extra fingers, mutated hands, poorly drawn hands, poorly drawn face, mutation, deformed, blurry, dehydrated, bad anatomy, bad proportions, extra limbs, cloned face, disfigured, gross proportions, malformed limbs, missing arms, missing legs, extra arms, extra legs, fused fingers, too many fingers, long neck, username, watermark, signature"

generator = torch.Generator(device="cuda").manual_seed(43)

image_emb, zero_image_emb = prior_pipeline(
    prompt=prompt, negative_prompt=negative_prior_prompt, generator=generator
).to_tuple()
```

Finally, pass the image embeddings and the depth image to the [`KandinskyV22ControlnetPipeline`] to generate an image:

```py
image = pipeline(image_embeds=image_emb, negative_image_embeds=zero_image_emb, hint=hint, num_inference_steps=50, generator=generator, height=768, width=768).images[0]
image
```

### Image-to-image [[controlnet-image-to-image]]

For image-to-image with ControlNet, you'll need to use the:

- [`KandinskyV22PriorEmb2EmbPipeline`] to generate the image embeddings from a text prompt and an image
- [`KandinskyV22ControlnetImg2ImgPipeline`] to generate an image from the initial image and the image embeddings

Process and extract a depth map of an initial image of a cat with the `depth-estimation` [`~transformers.Pipeline`] from 🤗 Transformers:

```py
import torch
import numpy as np

from diffusers import KandinskyV22PriorEmb2EmbPipeline, KandinskyV22ControlnetImg2ImgPipeline
from diffusers.utils import load_image
from transformers import pipeline

img = load_image(
    "https://huggingface.co/datasets/hf-internal-testing/diffusers-images/resolve/main/kandinskyv22/cat.png"
).resize((768, 768))

def make_hint(image, depth_estimator):
    image = depth_estimator(image)["depth"]
    image = np.array(image)
    image = image[:, :, None]
    image = np.concatenate([image, image, image], axis=2)
    detected_map = torch.from_numpy(image).float() / 255.0
    hint = detected_map.permute(2, 0, 1)
    return hint

depth_estimator = pipeline("depth-estimation")
hint = make_hint(img, depth_estimator).unsqueeze(0).half().to("cuda")
```

Load the prior pipeline and the [`KandinskyV22ControlnetImg2ImgPipeline`]:

```py
prior_pipeline = KandinskyV22PriorEmb2EmbPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-2-prior", torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True
).to("cuda")

pipeline = KandinskyV22ControlnetImg2ImgPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-2-controlnet-depth", torch_dtype=torch.float16
).to("cuda")
```

Pass a text prompt and the initial image to the prior pipeline to generate the image embeddings:

```py
prompt = "A robot, 4k photo"
negative_prior_prompt = "lowres, text, error, cropped, worst quality, low quality, jpeg artifacts, ugly, duplicate, morbid, mutilated, out of frame, extra fingers, mutated hands, poorly drawn hands, poorly drawn face, mutation, deformed, blurry, dehydrated, bad anatomy, bad proportions, extra limbs, cloned face, disfigured, gross proportions, malformed limbs, missing arms, missing legs, extra arms, extra legs, fused fingers, too many fingers, long neck, username, watermark, signature"

generator = torch.Generator(device="cuda").manual_seed(43)

img_emb = prior_pipeline(prompt=prompt, image=img, strength=0.85, generator=generator)
negative_emb = prior_pipeline(prompt=negative_prior_prompt, image=img, strength=1, generator=generator)
```

Now you can run the [`KandinskyV22ControlnetImg2ImgPipeline`] to generate an image from the initial image and the image embeddings:

```py
image = pipeline(image=img, strength=0.5, image_embeds=img_emb.image_embeds, negative_image_embeds=negative_emb.image_embeds, hint=hint, num_inference_steps=50, generator=generator, height=768, width=768).images[0]
make_image_grid([img.resize((512, 512)), image.resize((512, 512))], rows=1, cols=2)
```

</div>

## Optimizations

Kandinsky is unique because it requires a prior pipeline to generate the mappings, and a second pipeline to decode the latents into an image. Optimization efforts should be focused on the second pipeline because that is where the bulk of the computation is done. Here are some tips to improve Kandinsky during inference.

1. Enable [xFormers](../optimization/xformers) if you're using PyTorch < 2.0:

```diff
  from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
  import torch

  pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-1", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
+ pipe.enable_xformers_memory_efficient_attention()
```

2. Enable `torch.compile` if you're using PyTorch >= 2.0 to automatically use scaled dot-product attention (SDPA):

```diff
  pipe.unet.to(memory_format=torch.channels_last)
+ pipe.unet = torch.compile(pipe.unet, mode="reduce-overhead", fullgraph=True)
```

This is the same as explicitly setting the attention processor to use [`~models.attention_processor.AttnAddedKVProcessor2_0`]:

```py
from diffusers.models.attention_processor import AttnAddedKVProcessor2_0

pipe.unet.set_attn_processor(AttnAddedKVProcessor2_0())
```

3. Offload the model to the CPU with [`~KandinskyPriorPipeline.enable_model_cpu_offload`] to avoid out-of-memory errors:

```diff
  from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
  import torch

  pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-1", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
+ pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()
```

4. By default, the text-to-image pipeline uses the [`DDIMScheduler`] but you can replace it with another scheduler like [`DDPMScheduler`] to see how that affects the tradeoff between inference speed and image quality:

```py
from diffusers import DDPMScheduler
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline

scheduler = DDPMScheduler.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-1", subfolder="ddpm_scheduler")
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("kandinsky-community/kandinsky-2-1", scheduler=scheduler, torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True).to("cuda")
```
