Key Features

• ✨ Superior Image Quality - Produces exceptional results across multiple styles including photorealistic, cartoon, artistic, and more. Achieves state-of-the-art HPS v2.1 score, which aligns with human preferences.
• 🎯 Best-in-Class Prompt Following - Achieves industry-leading scores on GenEval and DPG benchmarks, outperforming all other open-source models.
• 🔓 Open Source - Released under the MIT license to foster scientific advancement and enable creative innovation.
• 💼 Commercial-Friendly - Generated images can be freely used for personal projects, scientific research, and commercial applications.

Quick Start

Please make sure you have installed Flash Attention . We recommend CUDA version 12.4 for the manual installation.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Clone the GitHub repo:

git clone https://github.com/HiDream-ai/HiDream-I1

Then you can run the inference scripts to generate images:

# For full model inference
python ./inference.py --model_type full

# For distilled dev model inference
python ./inference.py --model_type dev

# For distilled fast model inference
python ./inference.py --model_type fast

Note: The inference script will automatically download meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct model files. If you encounter network issues, you can download these files ahead of time and place them in the appropriate cache directory to avoid download failures during inference.

Gradio Demo

We also provide a Gradio demo for interactive image generation. You can run the demo with:

python gradio_demo.py
