DFloat11/FLUX.1-Canny-dev-DF11

DFloat11 Compressed Model: black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-Canny-dev

This is a losslessly compressed version of black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-Canny-dev using our custom DFloat11 format. The outputs of this compressed model are bit-for-bit identical to the original BFloat16 model, while reducing GPU memory consumption by approximately 30%.

🔍 How It Works

DFloat11 compresses model weights using Huffman coding of BFloat16 exponent bits, combined with hardware-aware algorithmic designs that enable efficient on-the-fly decompression directly on the GPU. During inference, the weights remain compressed in GPU memory and are decompressed just before matrix multiplications, then immediately discarded after use to minimize memory footprint.

Key benefits:

• No CPU decompression or host-device data transfer: all operations are handled entirely on the GPU.
• DFloat11 is much faster than CPU-offloading approaches, enabling practical deployment in memory-constrained environments.
• The compression is fully lossless, guaranteeing that the model’s outputs are bit-for-bit identical to those of the original model.

🔧 How to Use

1. Install or upgrade the DFloat11 pip package (installs the CUDA kernel automatically; requires a CUDA-compatible GPU and PyTorch installed):

   pip install -U dfloat11[cuda12]
   # or if you have CUDA version 11:
   # pip install -U dfloat11[cuda11]
   

2. Install or upgrade the diffusers and controlnet_aux packages.

   pip install -U diffusers controlnet_aux
   

3. To use the DFloat11 model, run the following example code in Python:

   import torch
   from controlnet_aux import CannyDetector
   from diffusers import FluxControlPipeline
   from diffusers.utils import load_image
   from dfloat11 import DFloat11Model
   
   pipe = FluxControlPipeline.from_pretrained("black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-Canny-dev", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
   pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()
   
   DFloat11Model.from_pretrained('DFloat11/FLUX.1-Canny-dev-DF11', device='cpu', bfloat16_model=pipe.transformer)
   
   prompt = "A robot made of exotic candies and chocolates of different kinds. The background is filled with confetti and celebratory gifts."
   control_image = load_image("https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/robot.png")
   
   processor = CannyDetector()
   control_image = processor(control_image, low_threshold=50, high_threshold=200, detect_resolution=1024, image_resolution=1024)
   
   image = pipe(
       prompt=prompt,
       control_image=control_image,
       height=1024,
       width=1024,
       num_inference_steps=50,
       guidance_scale=30.0,
   ).images[0]
   image.save("output.png")
