Serve a Stable Diffusion Model

<a href="https://https://console.anyscale.com/register/ha?render_flow=ray&utm_source=ray_docs&utm_medium=docs&utm_campaign=ray-serve-stable-diffusion-quickstart&redirectTo=/v2/template-preview/serve-stable-diffusion-v2"> </a> </br> This example runs a Stable Diffusion application with Ray Serve.

To run this example, install the following:

bash

pip install "ray[serve]" requests torch diffusers==0.35.2 transformers

This example uses the stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0 model and FastAPI to build the example. Save the following code to a file named stable_diffusion.py.

The Serve code is as follows:

{literalinclude}

:language: python
:start-after: __example_code_start__
:end-before: __example_code_end__

Use serve run stable_diffusion:entrypoint to start the Serve application.

:::{note} The autoscaling config sets min_replicas to 0, which means the deployment starts with no ObjectDetection replicas. These replicas spawn only when a request arrives. When no requests arrive after a certain period of time, Serve downscales ObjectDetection back to 0 replica to save GPU resources. :::

You should see these messages in the output:

Use the following code to send requests:

python

import requests

prompt = "a cute cat is dancing on the grass."
input = "%20".join(prompt.split(" "))
resp = requests.get(f"http://127.0.0.1:8000/imagine?prompt={input}")
with open("output.png", 'wb') as f:
    f.write(resp.content)

The app saves the output.png file locally. The following is an example of an output image.
