# Textual inversion

[[open-in-colab]]

The [`StableDiffusionPipeline`] supports textual inversion, a technique that enables a model like Stable Diffusion to learn a new concept from just a few sample images. This gives you more control over the generated images and allows you to tailor the model towards specific concepts. You can get started quickly with a collection of community created concepts in the [Stable Diffusion Conceptualizer](https://huggingface.co/spaces/sd-concepts-library/stable-diffusion-conceptualizer).

This guide will show you how to run inference with textual inversion using a pre-learned concept from the Stable Diffusion Conceptualizer. If you're interested in teaching a model new concepts with textual inversion, take a look at the [Textual Inversion](../training/text_inversion) training guide.

Login to your Hugging Face account:

```py
from huggingface_hub import notebook_login

notebook_login()
```

Import the necessary libraries:

```py
import os
import torch

import PIL
from PIL import Image

from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline
from diffusers.utils import make_image_grid
from transformers import CLIPFeatureExtractor, CLIPTextModel, CLIPTokenizer
```

## Stable Diffusion 1 and 2

Pick a Stable Diffusion checkpoint and a pre-learned concept from the [Stable Diffusion Conceptualizer](https://huggingface.co/spaces/sd-concepts-library/stable-diffusion-conceptualizer):

```py
pretrained_model_name_or_path = "runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5"
repo_id_embeds = "sd-concepts-library/cat-toy"
```

Now you can load a pipeline, and pass the pre-learned concept to it:

```py
pipeline = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
    pretrained_model_name_or_path, torch_dtype=torch.float16, use_safetensors=True
).to("cuda")

pipeline.load_textual_inversion(repo_id_embeds)
```

Create a prompt with the pre-learned concept by using the special placeholder token `<cat-toy>`, and choose the number of samples and rows of images you'd like to generate:

```py
prompt = "a grafitti in a favela wall with a <cat-toy> on it"

num_samples = 2
num_rows = 2
```

Then run the pipeline (feel free to adjust the parameters like `num_inference_steps` and `guidance_scale` to see how they affect image quality), save the generated images and visualize them with the helper function you created at the beginning:

```py
all_images = []
for _ in range(num_rows):
    images = pipe(prompt, num_images_per_prompt=num_samples, num_inference_steps=50, guidance_scale=7.5).images
    all_images.extend(images)

grid = make_image_grid(all_images, num_samples, num_rows)
grid
```

## Stable Diffusion XL

Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) can also use textual inversion vectors for inference. In contrast to Stable Diffusion 1 and 2, SDXL has two text encoders so you'll need two textual inversion embeddings - one for each text encoder model.

Let's download the SDXL textual inversion embeddings and have a closer look at it's structure:

```py
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
from safetensors.torch import load_file

file = hf_hub_download("dn118/unaestheticXL", filename="unaestheticXLv31.safetensors")
state_dict = load_file(file)
state_dict
```

```
{'clip_g': tensor([[ 0.0077, -0.0112,  0.0065,  ...,  0.0195,  0.0159,  0.0275],
         ...,
         [-0.0170,  0.0213,  0.0143,  ..., -0.0302, -0.0240, -0.0362]],
 'clip_l': tensor([[ 0.0023,  0.0192,  0.0213,  ..., -0.0385,  0.0048, -0.0011],
         ...,
         [ 0.0475, -0.0508, -0.0145,  ...,  0.0070, -0.0089, -0.0163]],
```

There are two tensors, `"clip-g"` and `"clip-l"`.
`"clip-g"` corresponds to the bigger text encoder in SDXL and refers to 
`pipe.text_encoder_2` and `"clip-l"` refers to `pipe.text_encoder`.

Now you can load each tensor separately by passing them along with the correct text encoder and tokenizer
to [`~loaders.TextualInversionLoaderMixin.load_textual_inversion`]:

```py
from diffusers import AutoPipelineForText2Image
import torch

pipe = AutoPipelineForText2Image.from_pretrained("stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0", variant="fp16", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
pipe.to("cuda")

pipe.load_textual_inversion(state_dict["clip_g"], token="unaestheticXLv31", text_encoder=pipe.text_encoder_2, tokenizer=pipe.tokenizer_2)
pipe.load_textual_inversion(state_dict["clip_l"], token="unaestheticXLv31", text_encoder=pipe.text_encoder, tokenizer=pipe.tokenizer)

# the embedding should be used as a negative embedding, so we pass it as a negative prompt
generator = torch.Generator().manual_seed(33)
image = pipe("a woman standing in front of a mountain", negative_prompt="unaestheticXLv31", generator=generator).images[0]
```
