If you’re looking to explore the realms of advanced text-to-image generation, Project Zeus is a compelling choice. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up and operate the project efficiently, ensuring a smooth experience as you create captivating images. Think of it as your trusty map in a vast universe of AI potential.

Prerequisites: What You’ll Need

• Python installed on your machine
• Basic knowledge of command line operations
• Access to the internet for downloading necessary files

Step 1: Download Required Files

First, you’ll need to download the model weights. Head over to DeVilDoNia’s Hugging Face profile and download the t5xxl_fp8_e4m3fn.safetensors from Camenduru.

Step 2: Set Up Your Environment

Next, you’ll want to install the necessary libraries. Open your command line and run the following:

pip install diffusers numpy safetensors sentencepiece transformers
pip install gguf @ git+https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp.git@master#subdirectory=gguf-py

Step 3: Cooking Up Project Zeus

Imagine you are a chef preparing a gourmet meal—you’re mixing ingredients and ensuring everything is perfectly blended. Here’s how you do that with Project Zeus:

python convert_sd3_to_diffusers.py --checkpoint_path projectZeusSD3_betaX.safetensors --output project_zeus
python convert_to_gguf.py .project_zeus project_zeus.Q8.gguf .project_zeus/transformers/diffusion_pytorch_model.safetensors

Step 4: Getting Ready for Inference

Now that you have everything set, it’s time for the main attraction: inference! This step is where you generate your images. It’s like unveiling a masterpiece after months of dedication and hard work.

from diffusers import StableDiffusion3Pipeline, SD3Transformer2DModel
import gguf
from gguf.quants import dequantize
from safetensors.torch import load_file
from transformers import T5Config, T5EncoderModel
import torch

def load_transformer_from_gguf(filepath):
    sd = {}
    reader = gguf.GGUFReader(filepath)
    for item in reader.tensors:
        xs = dequantize(item.data, item.tensor_type)
        tensor = torch.tensor(xs)
        sd[item.name] = tensor.to(dtype=torch.float16)
    config = SD3Transformer2DModel.load_config(".transformer")
    transformer = SD3Transformer2DModel.from_config(config).to(dtype=torch.float16)
    transformer.load_state_dict(sd)
    transformer.eval()
    return transformer

transformer = load_transformer_from_gguf('project_zeus_sd3.beta_x.Q8.gguf')

pipe = StableDiffusion3Pipeline.from_pretrained(
    'stabilityai/stable-diffusion-3-medium-diffusers',
    transformer=transformer,
    text_encoder_3=None,
    tokenizer_3=None,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16
)

pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()
image = pipe('cat playing piano', num_inference_steps=20).images[0]
image.save('cat.png')

Troubleshooting Tips

If you run into any issues during setup or execution, here are a few troubleshooting ideas:

• Ensure that all dependencies are installed correctly. Sometimes an overlooked library can throw a wrench in your plans.
• Check for typos in your commands—it’s easy to overlook small mistakes!
• If your model fails to generate images, revisit the paths you specified in your commands. Consistency is key.
