Generates images from natural language text prompts by encoding prompts through CLIP text encoder, then conditioning the Stable Diffusion UNet denoising process across multiple sampling steps. The pipeline processes prompts into embeddings, applies guidance scaling (classifier-free guidance), and iteratively denoises latent representations using configurable samplers (DDIM, Euler, DPM++, etc.) before decoding to pixel space via VAE decoder. Supports negative prompts, prompt weighting syntax, and dynamic prompt scheduling across generation steps.
Unique: Implements StableDiffusionProcessingTxt2Img class with modular sampler abstraction supporting 15+ scheduler variants (DDIM, Euler, DPM++, Heun, etc.) and dynamic prompt weighting via custom tokenizer extensions, enabling fine-grained control over generation behavior without model retraining. Gradio UI provides real-time progress visualization with intermediate step previews.
vs alternatives: Faster iteration than cloud APIs (local inference, no latency) and more flexible than Hugging Face Diffusers (native UI, built-in LoRA/embedding support, sampler variety)
Transforms existing images by encoding them into latent space via VAE encoder, then conditioning the diffusion process to preserve structural features while applying style/content modifications. The pipeline injects the encoded image at a configurable denoising step (controlled by 'denoising strength' parameter: 0-1), allowing users to control how much of the original image is preserved vs regenerated. Supports inpainting masks to selectively regenerate regions, and outpainting to extend image boundaries with coherent content generation.

vs alternatives: More flexible than single-model inference servers (supports arbitrary checkpoints, custom fine-tunes) and faster than cloud APIs (no network latency, local caching)
Loads and composes Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) modules and textual inversion embeddings into the base model without modifying checkpoint weights. LoRA adapters inject learnable low-rank matrices into UNet and text encoder layers, enabling style/subject control via weight merging. Textual inversions replace single tokens with learned embedding vectors, allowing concept injection via prompt syntax (e.g., '<my-style>'). The system supports multiple simultaneous LoRA adapters with per-adapter strength scaling, and automatic discovery of embeddings from configured directories.
Unique: Implements LoRA weight merging via low-rank matrix injection into UNet/text encoder layers with per-adapter strength scaling, and textual inversion via token replacement in CLIP tokenizer. Supports simultaneous composition of multiple LoRA adapters with independent strength control. Automatic discovery and caching of embeddings from directory structure.
vs alternatives: Lighter-weight than full model fine-tuning (10-100MB vs 4-7GB) and more flexible than single-style checkpoints (compose multiple adapters, adjust strength dynamically)
