accelerate config

Note: Now bitsandbytes is optional. Please install any version of bitsandbytes as needed. Installation instructions are in the following section.

Answers to accelerate config:

- This machine
- No distributed training
- NO
- NO
- NO
- all
- fp16

note: Some user reports ValueError: fp16 mixed precision requires a GPU is occurred in training. In this case, answer 0 for the 6th question: What GPU(s) (by id) should be used for training on this machine as a comma-separated list? [all]:

(Single GPU with id 0 will be used.)

Optional: Use bitsandbytes (8bit optimizer)

For 8bit optimizer, you need to install bitsandbytes. For Linux, please install bitsandbytes as usual (0.41.1 or later is recommended.)

For Windows, there are several versions of bitsandbytes:

SDXL training

The documentation in this section will be moved to a separate document later.

Training scripts for SDXL

• sdxl_train.py is a script for SDXL fine-tuning. The usage is almost the same as fine_tune.py, but it also supports DreamBooth dataset.

  • --full_bf16 option is added. Thanks to KohakuBlueleaf!
    • This option enables the full bfloat16 training (includes gradients). This option is useful to reduce the GPU memory usage.
    • The full bfloat16 training might be unstable. Please use it at your own risk.
  • The different learning rates for each U-Net block are now supported in sdxl_train.py. Specify with --block_lr option. Specify 23 values separated by commas like --block_lr 1e-3,1e-3 ... 1e-3.
    • 23 values correspond to 0: time/label embed, 1-9: input blocks 0-8, 10-12: mid blocks 0-2, 13-21: output blocks 0-8, 22: out.

• prepare_buckets_latents.py now supports SDXL fine-tuning.

• sdxl_train_network.py is a script for LoRA training for SDXL. The usage is almost the same as train_network.py.

• Both scripts has following additional options:

  • --cache_text_encoder_outputs and --cache_text_encoder_outputs_to_disk: Cache the outputs of the text encoders. This option is useful to reduce the GPU memory usage. This option cannot be used with options for shuffling or dropping the captions.
  • --no_half_vae: Disable the half-precision (mixed-precision) VAE. VAE for SDXL seems to produce NaNs in some cases. This option is useful to avoid the NaNs.

• --weighted_captions option is not supported yet for both scripts.

• sdxl_train_textual_inversion.py is a script for Textual Inversion training for SDXL. The usage is almost the same as train_textual_inversion.py.

  • --cache_text_encoder_outputs is not supported.
  • There are two options for captions:
    1. Training with captions. All captions must include the token string. The token string is replaced with multiple tokens.
    2. Use --use_object_template or --use_style_template option. The captions are generated from the template. The existing captions are ignored.
  • See below for the format of the embeddings.

• --min_timestep and --max_timestep options are added to each training script. These options can be used to train U-Net with different timesteps. The default values are 0 and 1000.

Utility scripts for SDXL

• tools/cache_latents.py is added. This script can be used to cache the latents to disk in advance.

  • The options are almost the same as `sdxl_train.py'. See the help message for the usage.
  • Please launch the script as follows: accelerate launch --num_cpu_threads_per_process 1 tools/cache_latents.py ...
  • This script should work with multi-GPU, but it is not tested in my environment.

• tools/cache_text_encoder_outputs.py is added. This script can be used to cache the text encoder outputs to disk in advance.

  • The options are almost the same as cache_latents.py and sdxl_train.py. See the help message for the usage.

• sdxl_gen_img.py is added. This script can be used to generate images with SDXL, including LoRA, Textual Inversion and ControlNet-LLLite. See the help message for the usage.

Tips for SDXL training

• The default resolution of SDXL is 1024x1024.
• The fine-tuning can be done with 24GB GPU memory with the batch size of 1. For 24GB GPU, the following options are recommended for the fine-tuning with 24GB GPU memory:
  • Train U-Net only.
  • Use gradient checkpointing.
  • Use --cache_text_encoder_outputs option and caching latents.
  • Use Adafactor optimizer. RMSprop 8bit or Adagrad 8bit may work. AdamW 8bit doesn't seem to work.
• The LoRA training can be done with 8GB GPU memory (10GB recommended). For reducing the GPU memory usage, the following options are recommended:
  • Train U-Net only.
  • Use gradient checkpointing.
  • Use --cache_text_encoder_outputs option and caching latents.
  • Use one of 8bit optimizers or Adafactor optimizer.
  • Use lower dim (4 to 8 for 8GB GPU).
• --network_train_unet_only option is highly recommended for SDXL LoRA. Because SDXL has two text encoders, the result of the training will be unexpected.
• PyTorch 2 seems to use slightly less GPU memory than PyTorch 1.
• --bucket_reso_steps can be set to 32 instead of the default value 64. Smaller values than 32 will not work for SDXL training.

Example of the optimizer settings for Adafactor with the fixed learning rate:

optimizer_type = "adafactor"
optimizer_args = [ "scale_parameter=False", "relative_step=False", "warmup_init=False" ]
lr_scheduler = "constant_with_warmup"
lr_warmup_steps = 100
learning_rate = 4e-7 # SDXL original learning rate

Format of Textual Inversion embeddings for SDXL

from safetensors.torch import save_file

state_dict = {"clip_g": embs_for_text_encoder_1280, "clip_l": embs_for_text_encoder_768}
save_file(state_dict, file)

ControlNet-LLLite

ControlNet-LLLite, a novel method for ControlNet with SDXL, is added. See documentation for details.

Naming of LoRA

The LoRA supported by train_network.py has been named to avoid confusion. The documentation has been updated. The following are the names of LoRA types in this repository.

1. LoRA-LierLa : (LoRA for Li n e a r La yers)

   LoRA for Linear layers and Conv2d layers with 1x1 kernel

2. LoRA-C3Lier : (LoRA for C olutional layers with 3 x3 Kernel and Li n e a r layers)

   In addition to 1., LoRA for Conv2d layers with 3x3 kernel

LoRA-LierLa is the default LoRA type for train_network.py (without conv_dim network arg). LoRA-LierLa can be used with our extension for AUTOMATIC1111's Web UI, or with the built-in LoRA feature of the Web UI.

To use LoRA-C3Lier with Web UI, please use our extension.
