AI Avatars with DreamBooth

This example demonstrates an AI Avatar app, built using DreamBooth and Stable Diffusion v1.5.

Overview

This app has two APIs. The first API is used to start a fine-tuning job on a batch of image URLs. The second API is used to generate an image using the fine-tuned model.

Training

This endpoint will take a list of input images as URLs, and fine-tune Stable Diffusion on those images. It also takes a user ID, so that you can reference the specific fine-tuned model later on when you generate customized images.

        image_urls=urls,
        instance_prompt=instance_prompt,
        class_prompt=class_prompt,
    )

We’ll deploy the training API by running:

beam deploy app-training.py

Once the app spins up, you can find the API URL in the web dashboard and send a request to start a training job.

Starting a fine-tuning task

After deploying the app, you can kick-off a fine-tuning job by calling the API with a JSON payload like this:

{
  "user_id": "111111",
  "instance_prompt": "a photo of a sks toy",
  "class_prompt": "a photo of a toy",
  "image_urls": [
    "https://huggingface.co/datasets/valhalla/images/resolve/main/2.jpeg",
    "https://huggingface.co/datasets/valhalla/images/resolve/main/3.jpeg",
    "https://huggingface.co/datasets/valhalla/images/resolve/main/5.jpeg",
    "https://huggingface.co/datasets/valhalla/images/resolve/main/6.jpeg"
  ]
}

We’ll pass in a bunch of images of cat toys:

Here’s what the complete cURL request will look like:

curl -X POST --compressed "https://api.beam.cloud/lnmfd" \
    -H 'Accept: */*' \
    -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' \
    -H 'Authorization: Basic [YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN]' \
    -H 'Connection: keep-alive' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{"user_id": "111111", "image_urls": "[\"https://huggingface.co/datasets/valhalla/images/resolve/main/2.jpeg\", \"https://huggingface.co/datasets/valhalla/images/resolve/main/3.jpeg\", \"https://huggingface.co/datasets/valhalla/images/resolve/main/4.jpeg\"]", "class_prompt": "a photo of a toy", "instance_prompt": "a photo of a sks toy"}'

This code runs asynchronously, so a task ID is returned from the request:

{ "task_id": "403f3a8e-503c-427a-8085-7d59384a2566" }

We can view the status of the training job by querying the task API:

curl -X POST --compressed "https://api.beam.cloud/task" \
  -H 'Accept: */*' \
  -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' \
  -H 'Authorization: Basic [YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN]' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"action": "retrieve", "task_id": "403f3a8e-503c-427a-8085-7d59384a2566"}'

This returns the task status. If the task is completed, we can call the inference API to use our newly fine-tuned model.

{
  "outputs": {},
  "outputs_list": [],
  "started_at": "2023-02-15T22:26:11.941531Z",
  "ended_at": "2023-02-15T22:30:20.875621Z",
  "status": "COMPLETE",
  "task_id": "403f3a8e-503c-427a-8085-7d59384a2566"
}

Inference

Now that we’ve setup our fine-tuning API, we’ll move onto the code that runs inference with the fine-tuned model:

Show Code

app-inference.py

from beam import App, Runtime, Image, Output, Volume

import os
import torch
from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline
from PIL import Image

model_id = "runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5"


# The environment your code will run on
app = App(
    name="dreambooth-inference",
    runtime=Runtime(
        cpu=4,
        memory="32Gi",
        gpu="A10G",
        image=Image(
            python_version="python3.8",
            python_packages="requirements.txt",
        ),
    ),
    volumes=[Volume(path="./dreambooth", name="dreambooth")],
)


# TaskQueue API will take two inputs:
# - user_id, to identify the user training their custom model
# - image_urls, a list of image URLs
@app.task_queue(outputs=[Output(path="./dreambooth")])
def generate_images(**inputs):
    # Takes in a prompt and userID from the API request
    prompt = inputs["prompt"]
    user_id = inputs["user_id"]

    # Path to the unique model trained for this userID
    model_path = f"./dreambooth/trained_models/{user_id}"

    # Special torch method to improve performance
    torch.backends.cuda.matmul.allow_tf32 = True

    pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
        # Run inference on the specific model trained for this user ID
        model_path,
        revision="fp16",
        torch_dtype=torch.float16,
        # The `cache_dir` arg is used to cache the model in between requests
        cache_dir=model_path,
    ).to("cuda")

    pipe.enable_xformers_memory_efficient_attention()

    # Image generation
    with torch.inference_mode():
        with torch.autocast("cuda"):
            image = pipe(prompt, num_inference_steps=50, guidance_scale=7.5).images[0]

    print(f"Generated Image: {image}")
    image.save("output.png")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    user_id = "111111"
    generate_images(
        user_id=user_id,
        prompt=f"a photo of a sks toy riding the subway",
    )

Deployment

You can deploy this by running beam deploy app-inference.py. Once it’s deployed, you can find the web URL in the dashboard.

Here’s what a request will look like:

curl -X POST --compressed "https://api.beam.cloud/lnmfd" \
    -H 'Accept: */*' \
    -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' \
    -H 'Authorization: Basic [YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN]' \
    -H 'Connection: keep-alive' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{"prompt": "photo of a sks riding the subway", "user_id": "111111"}'

This function also runs asynchronously, so a task ID is returned:

{ "task_id": "403f3a8e-503c-427a-8085-7d59384a2566" }

Querying task status

We can view the status of the inference request by querying the task API:

curl -X POST --compressed "https://api.beam.cloud/task" \
  -H 'Accept: */*' \
  -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' \
  -H 'Authorization: Basic [YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN]' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"action": "retrieve", "task_id": "403f3a8e-503c-427a-8085-7d59384a2566"}'

If the request is completed, you’ll see an image-output field in the response.

{
  "outputs": {
    "image-output": "https://beam.cloud/data/f2c8760c63d6e403729a212f1c19b597692b1c26c1c65"

}

Retrieving image outputs

Enter this the image-output URL in the browser. It will download a zip file with the image generated from the model. And there you go — a cat toy riding the subway:
