# AutoPipeline
# AutoPipeline
Diffusers provides many pipelines for basic tasks like generating images, videos, audio, and inpainting. On top of these, there are specialized pipelines for adapters and features like upscaling, super-resolution, and more. Different pipeline classes can even use the same checkpoint because they share the same pretrained model! With so many different pipelines, it can be overwhelming to know which pipeline class to use.
[AutoPipeline](../api/models/auto_model) is a *task-and-model* pipeline that automatically selects the correct pipeline subclass based on the task. It handles the complexity of loading different pipeline subclasses without needing to know the specific pipeline subclass name.
The [AutoPipeline](../api/pipelines/auto_pipeline) class is designed to simplify the variety of pipelines in Diffusers. It is a generic *task-first* pipeline that lets you focus on a task ([`AutoPipelineForText2Image`], [`AutoPipelineForImage2Image`], and [`AutoPipelineForInpainting`]) without needing to know the specific pipeline class. The [AutoPipeline](../api/pipelines/auto_pipeline) automatically detects the correct pipeline class to use.
This is unlike [`DiffusionPipeline`], a *model-only* pipeline that automatically selects the pipeline subclass based on the model.
For example, let's use the [dreamlike-art/dreamlike-photoreal-2.0](https://hf.co/dreamlike-art/dreamlike-photoreal-2.0) checkpoint.
[`AutoPipelineForImage2Image`] returns a specific pipeline subclass, (for example, [`StableDiffusionXLImg2ImgPipeline`]), which can only be used for image-to-image tasks.
Under the hood, [AutoPipeline](../api/pipelines/auto_pipeline):
1. Detects a `"stable-diffusion"` class from the [model_index.json](https://hf.co/dreamlike-art/dreamlike-photoreal-2.0/blob/main/model_index.json) file.
2. Depending on the task you're interested in, it loads the [`StableDiffusionPipeline`], [`StableDiffusionImg2ImgPipeline`], or [`StableDiffusionInpaintPipeline`]. Any parameter (`strength`, `num_inference_steps`, etc.) you would pass to these specific pipelines can also be passed to the [AutoPipeline](../api/pipelines/auto_pipeline).
Notice how the [dreamlike-art/dreamlike-photoreal-2.0](https://hf.co/dreamlike-art/dreamlike-photoreal-2.0) checkpoint is used for both text-to-image and image-to-image tasks? To save memory and avoid loading the checkpoint twice, use the [`~DiffusionPipeline.from_pipe`] method.
You can learn more about the [`~DiffusionPipeline.from_pipe`] method in the [Reuse a pipeline](../using-diffusers/loading#reuse-a-pipeline) guide.
Loading the same model with [`DiffusionPipeline`] returns the [`StableDiffusionXLPipeline`] subclass. It can be used for text-to-image, image-to-image, or inpainting tasks depending on the inputs.
Check the [mappings](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/130fd8df54f24ffb006d84787b598d8adc899f23/src/diffusers/pipelines/auto_pipeline.py#L114) to see whether a model is supported or not.

There are three types of [AutoPipeline](../api/models/auto_model) classes, [`AutoPipelineForText2Image`], [`AutoPipelineForImage2Image`] and [`AutoPipelineForInpainting`]. Each of these classes have a predefined mapping, linking a pipeline to their task-specific subclass.
When [`~AutoPipelineForText2Image.from_pretrained`] is called, it extracts the class name from the `model_index.json` file and selects the appropriate pipeline subclass for the task based on the mapping.
