# Model card

We introduce **Sana**, a text-to-image framework that can efficiently generate images up to 4096 × 4096 resolution.
Sana can synthesize high-resolution, high-quality images with strong text-image alignment at a remarkably fast speed, deployable on laptop GPU.

Source code is available at https://github.com/NVlabs/Sana.

# Note
- Weakness in Complex Scene Creation: Due to limitation of data, our model has **limited** capabilities in generating complex scenes, text, and human hands.
- **Enhancing Capabilities**: The model’s performance can be improved by **increasing the complexity and length of prompts**. Below are some examples of **prompts and samples**.

### Model Description

- **Developed by:** NVIDIA, Sana
- **Model type:** Linear-Diffusion-Transformer-based text-to-image generative model
- **Model size:** 590M parameters
- **Model resolution:** This model is developed to generate 512px based images with multi-scale heigh and width.
- **License:** [NSCL v2-custom](./LICENSE.txt). Governing Terms:  NVIDIA License.  Additional Information:  [Gemma Terms of Use  |  Google AI for Developers](https://ai.google.dev/gemma/terms) for Gemma-2-2B-IT, [Gemma Prohibited Use Policy  |  Google AI for Developers](https://ai.google.dev/gemma/prohibited_use_policy).
- **Model Description:** This is a model that can be used to generate and modify images based on text prompts. 
It is a Linear Diffusion Transformer that uses one fixed, pretrained text encoders ([Gemma2-2B-IT](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-2b-it))
and one 32x spatial-compressed latent feature encoder ([DC-AE](https://hanlab.mit.edu/projects/dc-ae)).
- **Resources for more information:** Check out our [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/NVlabs/Sana) and the [Sana report on arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.10629).

### Model Sources

For research purposes, we recommend our `generative-models` Github repository (https://github.com/NVlabs/Sana), 
which is more suitable for both training and inference and for which most advanced diffusion sampler like Flow-DPM-Solver is integrated.
[MIT Han-Lab](https://nv-sana.mit.edu/) provides free Sana inference.

### 🧨 Diffusers 

### 1. How to use `SanaPipeline` with `🧨diffusers`

> \[!IMPORTANT\]
> Make sure to specify `pipe.transformer` to default `torch_dtype` and `variant` according to [Model Card](asset/docs/model_zoo.md).
>
> Set `pipe.text_encoder` to BF16 and `pipe.vae` to FP32 or BF16. For more info, [docs](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/main/en/api/pipelines/sana#sanapipeline) are here.

```python
# run `pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers` before use Sana in diffusers
import torch
from diffusers import SanaPipeline

pipe = SanaPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "Efficient-Large-Model/Sana_600M_512px_diffusers",
    variant="fp16",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
)
pipe.to("cuda")

pipe.vae.to(torch.bfloat16)
pipe.text_encoder.to(torch.bfloat16)

prompt = 'A cute 🐼 eating 🎋, ink drawing style'
image = pipe(
    prompt=prompt,
    height=512,
    width=512,
    guidance_scale=4.5,
    num_inference_steps=20,
    generator=torch.Generator(device="cuda").manual_seed(42),
)[0]

image[0].save("sana.png")
```

### 2. How to use `SanaPAGPipeline` with `🧨diffusers`

```python
# run `pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers` before use Sana in diffusers
import torch
from diffusers import SanaPAGPipeline

pipe = SanaPAGPipeline.from_pretrained(
  "Efficient-Large-Model/Sana_600M_512px_diffusers",
  variant="fp16",
  torch_dtype=torch.float16,
  pag_applied_layers="transformer_blocks.8",
)
pipe.to("cuda")

pipe.text_encoder.to(torch.bfloat16)
pipe.vae.to(torch.bfloat16)

prompt = 'A cute 🐼 eating 🎋, ink drawing style'
image = pipe(
    prompt=prompt,
    height=512,
    width=512,
    guidance_scale=5.0,
    pag_scale=2.0,
    num_inference_steps=20,
    generator=torch.Generator(device="cuda").manual_seed(42),
)[0]
image[0].save('sana.png')
```

## Uses

### Direct Use

The model is intended for research purposes only. Possible research areas and tasks include

- Generation of artworks and use in design and other artistic processes.
- Applications in educational or creative tools.
- Research on generative models.
- Safe deployment of models which have the potential to generate harmful content.

- Probing and understanding the limitations and biases of generative models.

Excluded uses are described below.

### Out-of-Scope Use

The model was not trained to be factual or true representations of people or events, and therefore using the model to generate such content is out-of-scope for the abilities of this model.

## Limitations and Bias

### Limitations

- The model does not achieve perfect photorealism
- The model cannot render complex legible text
- fingers, .etc in general may not be generated properly.
- The autoencoding part of the model is lossy.

### Bias
While the capabilities of image generation models are impressive, they can also reinforce or exacerbate social biases.
