# Pipelines

Pipelines provide a simple way to run state-of-the-art diffusion models in inference by bundling all of the necessary components (multiple independently-trained models, schedulers, and processors) into a single end-to-end class. Pipelines are flexible and they can be adapted to use different scheduler or even model components.

All pipelines are built from the base [`DiffusionPipeline`] class which provides basic functionality for loading, downloading, and saving all the components.

<Tip warning={true}>

Pipelines do not offer any training functionality. You'll notice PyTorch's autograd is disabled by decorating the [`~DiffusionPipeline.__call__`] method with a [`torch.no_grad`](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.no_grad.html) decorator because pipelines should not be used for training. If you're interested in training, please take a look at the [Training](../traininig/overview) guides instead!
