stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0-int8-ov

• Model creator: stabilityai
• Original model: stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0

Description

This is stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0 model converted to the OpenVINO™ IR (Intermediate Representation) format with weights compressed to INT8 by NNCF.

Quantization Parameters

Weight compression was performed using nncf.compress_weights with the following parameters:

• mode: INT8_ASYM
• ratio: 1.0

For more information on quantization, check the OpenVINO model optimization guide.

Compatibility

The provided OpenVINO™ IR model is compatible with:

• OpenVINO version 2025.2.0 and higher
• Optimum Intel 1.26.0 and higher

Running Model Inference with Optimum Intel

1. Install packages required for using Optimum Intel integration with the OpenVINO backend:

pip install optimum[openvino] diffusers --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu

1. Run model inference:

from optimum.intel.openvino import OVDiffusionPipeline

model_id = "OpenVINO/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0-int8-ov"
pipeline = OVDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id)

prompt = "sailing ship in storm by Rembrandt"
images = pipeline(prompt, num_inference_steps=20).images

Running Model Inference with OpenVINO GenAI

1. Install packages required for using OpenVINO GenAI.

pip install huggingface_hub
pip install openvino openvino-tokenizers openvino-genai

1. Download model from HuggingFace Hub

import huggingface_hub as hf_hub

model_id = "OpenVINO/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0-int8-ov"
model_path = "stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0-int8-ov"

hf_hub.snapshot_download(model_id, local_dir=model_path)

1. Run model inference:

import openvino_genai as ov_genai
from PIL import Image

device = "CPU"
pipe = ov_genai.Text2ImagePipeline(model_path, device)

prompt = "sailing ship in storm by Rembrandt"
image_tensor = pipe.generate(prompt, num_inference_steps=20)
image = Image.fromarray(image_tensor.data[0])

More GenAI usage examples can be found in OpenVINO GenAI library docs and samples
