AMD Nitro-1

Introduction

Nitro-1 is a series of efficient text-to-image generation models that are distilled from popular diffusion models on AMD Instinct™ GPUs. The release consists of:

Nitro-1-SD: a UNet-based one-step model distilled from Stable Diffusion 2.1.
Nitro-1-PixArt: a high resolution transformer-based one-step model distilled from PixArt-Sigma.

⚡️ Open-source code! The models are based on our re-implementation of Latent Adversarial Diffusion Distillation, the method used to build the popular Stable Diffusion 3 Turbo model. Since the original authors didn't provide training code, we release our re-implementation to help advance further research in the field.

Details

Model architecture: Nitro-1-PixArt has the same architecture as PixArt-Sigma and is compatible with the diffusers pipeline.
Inference steps: This model is distilled to perform inference in just a single step. However, the training code also supports distilling a model for 2, 4 or 8 steps.
Hardware: We use a single node consisting of 4 AMD Instinct™ MI250 GPUs for distilling Nitro-1-PixArt.
Dataset: We use 1M prompts from DiffusionDB and generate the corresponding images from the base PixArt-Sigma model.
Training cost: The distillation process achieves reasonable results in less than 2 days on a single node.

Quickstart

python

from diffusers import PixArtSigmaPipeline
import torch
from safetensors.torch import load_file

pipe = PixArtSigmaPipeline.from_pretrained("PixArt-alpha/PixArt-Sigma-XL-2-1024-MS")

ckpt_path = '<path to distilled checkpoint>'
transformer_state_dict = load_file(ckpt_path)
pipe.transformer.load_state_dict(transformer_state_dict)
pipe = pipe.to("cuda")

image = pipe(prompt='a photo of a cat',
             num_inference_steps=1,
             guidance_scale=0,
             timesteps=[400]).images[0]

Results

Compared to PixArt-Sigma, our model achieves a 90.9% reduction in FLOPs at the cost of just 3.7% lower CLIP score and 10.5% higher FID.

Model	FID ↓	CLIP ↑	FLOPs	Latency on AMD Instinct MI250 (sec)
PixArt-Sigma, 20 steps	34.14	0.3289	187.96	7.46
Nitro-1-PixArt, 1 step	37.75	0.3167	17.04	0.53
