A step-by-step guide on Model Endpoint creation & Image generation using Stable Video Diffusion xt
Brief description about the supported parameters for image generation
For the scope of this tutorial, we will use pre-built container (Stable Video Diffusion xt) for the model endpoint but you may choose to create your own custom container by following this tutorial .
In most cases, the pre-built container would work for your use case. The advantage is - you won’t have to worry about building an API handler. API handler will be automatically created for you.
So let’s get started!
A guide on Model Endpoint creation & Image generation
Step 1: Create a Model Endpoint for Stable Video Diffusion xt on TIR
Go to TIR AI Platform
Choose a project
Go to Model Endpoints section
Click on Create Endpoint button on the top-right corner
Choose Stable Video Diffusion xt model card in the Choose Framework section
Pick any suitable GPU plan of your choice. You can proceed with the default values for replicas, disk-size & endpoint details.
Add your environment variables, if any. Else, proceed further
Model Details: For now, we will skip the model details and continue with the default model weights.
If you wish to load your custom model weights (fine-tuned or not), select the appropriate model. (See Creating Model endpoint with custom model weights section below)
Complete the endpoint creation
Step 2: Generate your API TOKEN
The model endpoint API requires a valid auth token which you’ll need to perform further steps. So, let’s generate one.
Go to API Tokens section under the project.
Create a new API Token by clicking on the Create Token button on the top right corner. You can also use an existing token, if already created.
Once created, you’ll be able to see the list of API Tokens containing the API Key and Auth Token. You will need this Auth Token in the next step.
Step 3: Generate Videos using a Prompt Image
The final step is to send API requests to the created model endpoint & generate video using image prompt. We will use TIR Notebook to do the same.
Once your model endpoint is Ready, visit the Sample API Request section of that model endpoint and copy the Python cod
Launch a TIR Notebook with PyTorch or any appropriate Image with any basic machine plan. Once it is in Running state, launch it, and start a new notebook untitled.ipynb in the jupyter labs
Paste the Sample API Request code (for Python) in the notebook cell. Below is the sample code.
import requests import json import base64 # mandatory fields auth_token = <your-auth-token> input_image_path = 'car.png' # local path for providing input image video_output_path = 'video_output.avi' # local path for storing video output video_fps = 10 # fps of the output video url = "https://jupyterlabs.e2enetworks.net/project/p-681/endpoint/is-2242/v1/models/stable-video-diffusion-img2vid-xt:predict" #Read image file and encode it to a base64 string with open(input_image_path, 'rb') as image_file: image_base64 = base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode('utf-8') payload = json.dumps({ "fps": video_fps, "image":image_base64 }) headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': f'Bearer {auth_token}' } response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload) # response contains video in base64 video_bytes = base64.b64decode(response.json().get('predictions')) # saving the video in output video path with open(video_output_path, "wb") as video_file: ideo_file.write(video_bytes)
Copy the Auth Token generated in Step-2 & use it in place of $AUTH_TOKEN in the Sample API Request
- Also mention appropriate input_image_path, video_output_path, video_fps in the above python script.
Note
Video output file should of .avi extenstion. As of now we are supporting only .avi files as output.
Execute the code & send request
You can view your video which has been downloaded in the path mentioned.
That’s it! Your Stable Video Diffusion Xt model endpoint is up & ready for inference.
You can also try providing different prompts & see the generated images. Besides prompt, the model also supports various other parameters for video generation. Simply add new key and the values in the the payload of the above code. See the Supported parameters for image generation section below.
Creating Model endpoint with custom model weights
To create Inference against Stable Video Diffusion xt model with custom model weights, we will:
Download stable-video-diffusion-xt (by Stability AI) model from huggingface
Upload the model to Model Bucket (EOS)
Create an inference endpoint (model endpoint) in TIR to serve API requests
Step 1.1: Define a model in TIR Dashboard
Before we proceed with downloading or fine-tuning (optional) the model weights, let us first define a model in TIR dashboard.
Go to TIR AI Platform
Choose a project
Go to Model section
Click on Create Model
Enter a model name of your choosing (e.g. stable-video-diffusion)
Select Model Type as Custom
Click on CREATE
You will now see details of EOS (E2E Object Storage) bucket created for this model.
EOS Provides a S3 compatible API to upload or download content. We will be using MinIO CLI in this tutorial.
Copy the Setup Host command from Setup Minio CLI tab to a notepad or leave it in the clipboard. We will soon use it to setup MinIO CLI
Note
In case you forget to copy the setup host command for MinIO CLI, don’t worry. You can always go back to model details and get it again.
Step 1.2: Start a new Notebook
To work with the model weights, we will need to first download them to a local machine or a notebook instance.
In TIR Dashboard, Go to Notebooks
Launch a new Notebook with Diffusers Image and a hardware plan (e.g. A10080). We recommand a GPU plan if you plan to test or fine-tune the model.
Click on the Notebook name or Launch Notebook option to start jupyter labs environment
In the jupyter labs, Click New Launcher and Select Terminal
Now, paste and run the command for setting up MinIO CLI Host from Step 1
If the command works, you will have mc cli ready for uploading our model
Step 1.3: Download the Stable-Video-Diffusion-Xt (by Stability AI) model from notebook
Now, our EOS bucket will store the model weights. Let us download the weights from Hugging face.
Start a new notebook untitled.ipynb in jupyter labs
Run the below commands. The model will be downloaded by huggingface sdk in the $HOME/.cache folder
import torch from diffusers import StableVideoDiffusionPipeline from diffusers.utils import load_image, export_to_video pipe = StableVideoDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained( "stabilityai/stable-video-diffusion-img2vid-xt", torch_dtype=torch.float16, variant="fp16" ) pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload() # Load the conditioning image image = load_image("https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/diffusers/svd/rocket.png") image = image.resize((1024, 576)) generator = torch.manual_seed(42) frames = pipe(image, decode_chunk_size=8, generator=generator).frames[0] export_to_video(frames, "generated.mp4", fps=7)
Note
If you face any issues running above code in the notebook cell, you may be missing required libraries. This may happen if you did not launch the notebook with Diffusers image. In such situation, you can install the required libraries below:
pip install diffusers transformers accelerate
Step 2: Upload the model to Model Bucket (EOS)
Now that the model works as expected, you can fine-tune it with your own data or choose to serve the model as-is. This tutorial assumes you are uploading the model as-is to create inference endpoint. In case you fine-tune the model, you can follow similar steps to upload the model to EOS bucket.
# go to the directory that has the huggingface model code.
cd $HOME/.cache/huggingface/hub/models--stabilityai--stable-video-diffusion-img2vid-xt/snapshots
# push the contents of the folder to EOS bucket.
# Go to TIR Dashboard >> Models >> Select your model >> Copy the cp command from **Setup MinIO CLI** tab.
# The copy command would look like this:
# mc cp -r <MODEL_NAME> stable-video-diffusion/stable-video-diffusion-854588
# here we replace <MODEL_NAME> with '*' to upload all contents of snapshots folder
mc cp -r * stable-video-diffusion/stable-video-diffusion-854588
Note
The model directory name may be a little different (we assume it is models–stabilityai–stable-video-diffusion-img2vid-xt). In case, this command does not work, list the directories in the below path to identify the model directory
$HOME/.cache/huggingface/hub
Step 3: Create an endpoint for our model
With model weights uploaded to TIR Model’s EOS Bucket, what remains is to just launch the endpoint and serve API requests.
Head back to the section on A guide on Model Endpoint creation & Image generation above and follow the steps to create the endpoint for your model.
While creating the endpoint, make sure you select the appropriate model in the model details sub-section, i.e., the EOS bucket containing your model weights. If your model is not in the root directory of the bucket, make sure to specify the path where the model is saved in the bucket.
Follow the steps below to find the Model path in the bucket:
Go to MyAccount Object Storage
Find your Model bucket (in this case: stable-video-diffusion-854588) & click on its Objects tab
If the model_index.json file is present in the list of objects, then your model is present in the root directory & you need not give any Model Path
Otherwise, navigate to the folder, and find the model_index.json file, copy its path and paste the same in the Model Path field
You can click on Validate button to validate the existance of the model at the given path
