Model overview

The sdxl-controlnet-lora model is an implementation of Stability AI's SDXL text-to-image model with support for ControlNet and Replicate's LoRA technology. This model is developed and maintained by batouresearch, and is similar to other SDXL-based models like instant-id-multicontrolnet and sdxl-lightning-4step. The key difference is the addition of ControlNet, which allows the model to generate images based on a provided control image, such as a Canny edge map.

Model inputs and outputs

The sdxl-controlnet-lora model takes a text prompt, an optional input image, and various settings as inputs. It outputs one or more generated images based on the provided prompt and settings.

Inputs

Prompt: The text prompt describing the image to generate.
Image: An optional input image to use as a control or base image for the generation process.
Seed: A random seed value to use for generation.
Img2Img: A flag to enable the img2img generation pipeline, which uses the input image as both the control and base image.
Strength: The strength of the img2img denoising process, ranging from 0 to 1.
Negative Prompt: An optional negative prompt to guide the generation away from certain undesired elements.
Num Inference Steps: The number of denoising steps to take during the generation process.
Guidance Scale: The scale for classifier-free guidance, which controls the influence of the text prompt on the generated image.
Scheduler: The scheduler algorithm to use for the generation process.
LoRA Scale: The additive scale for the LoRA weights, which can be used to fine-tune the model's behavior.
LoRA Weights: The URL of the Replicate LoRA weights to use for the generation.
