+
+
+Photon generates high-quality images from text using a simplified MMDIT architecture where text tokens don't update through transformer blocks. It employs flow matching with discrete scheduling for efficient sampling and uses Google's T5Gemma-2B-2B-UL2 model for multi-language text encoding. The ~1.3B parameter transformer delivers fast inference without sacrificing quality. You can choose between Flux VAE (8x compression, 16 latent channels) for balanced quality and speed or DC-AE (32x compression, 32 latent channels) for latent compression and faster processing.
+
+## Available models
+
+Photon offers multiple variants with different VAE configurations, each optimized for specific resolutions. Base models excel with detailed prompts, capturing complex compositions and subtle details. Fine-tuned models trained on the [Alchemist dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/yandex/alchemist) improve aesthetic quality, especially with simpler prompts.

+        Function invoked when calling the pipeline for generation.
+
+        Args:
+            prompt (`str` or `List[str]`, *optional*):
+                The prompt or prompts to guide the image generation. If not defined, one has to pass `prompt_embeds`
+                instead.
+            negative_prompt (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `""`):
+                The prompt or prompts not to guide the image generation. Ignored when not using guidance (i.e., ignored
+                if `guidance_scale` is less than `1`).
+            height (`int`, *optional*, defaults to self.transformer.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor):
+                The height in pixels of the generated image.
+            width (`int`, *optional*, defaults to self.transformer.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor):
+                The width in pixels of the generated image.
+            num_inference_steps (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 28):
+                The number of denoising steps. More denoising steps usually lead to a higher quality image at the
+                expense of slower inference.
+            timesteps (`List[int]`, *optional*):
+                Custom timesteps to use for the denoising process with schedulers which support a `timesteps` argument
+                in their `set_timesteps` method. If not defined, the default behavior when `num_inference_steps` is
+                passed will be used. Must be in descending order.
+            guidance_scale (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 4.0):
+                Guidance scale as defined in [Classifier-Free Diffusion Guidance](https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.12598).
+                `guidance_scale` is defined as `w` of equation 2. of [Imagen
+                Paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.11487.pdf). Guidance scale is enabled by setting `guidance_scale >
+                1`. Higher guidance scale encourages to generate images that are closely linked to the text `prompt`,
+                usually at the expense of lower image quality.
+            num_images_per_prompt (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 1):
+                The number of images to generate per prompt.
+            generator (`torch.Generator` or `List[torch.Generator]`, *optional*):
+                One or a list of [torch generator(s)](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.Generator.html)
+                to make generation deterministic.
+            latents (`torch.Tensor`, *optional*):
+                Pre-generated noisy latents, sampled from a Gaussian distribution, to be used as inputs for image
+                generation. Can be used to tweak the same generation with different prompts. If not provided, a latents
+                tensor will be generated by sampling using the supplied random `generator`.
+            prompt_embeds (`torch.FloatTensor`, *optional*):
+                Pre-generated text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs, *e.g.* prompt weighting. If not
+                provided, text embeddings will be generated from `prompt` input argument.
+            negative_prompt_embeds (`torch.FloatTensor`, *optional*):
+                Pre-generated negative text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs, *e.g.* prompt
+                weighting. If not provided and `guidance_scale > 1`, negative embeddings will be generated from an
+                empty string.
+            prompt_attention_mask (`torch.BoolTensor`, *optional*):
+                Pre-generated attention mask for `prompt_embeds`. If not provided, attention mask will be generated
+                from `prompt` input argument.
+            negative_prompt_attention_mask (`torch.BoolTensor`, *optional*):
+                Pre-generated attention mask for `negative_prompt_embeds`. If not provided and `guidance_scale > 1`,
+                attention mask will be generated from an empty string.
+            output_type (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"pil"`):
+                The output format of the generate image. Choose between
+                [PIL](https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/): `PIL.Image.Image` or `np.array`.
+            return_dict (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`):
+                Whether or not to return a [`~pipelines.photon.PhotonPipelineOutput`] instead of a plain tuple.
+            use_resolution_binning (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`):
+                If set to `True`, the requested height and width are first mapped to the closest resolutions using
+                predefined aspect ratio bins. After the produced latents are decoded into images, they are resized back
+                to the requested resolution. Useful for generating non-square images at optimal resolutions.
+            callback_on_step_end (`Callable`, *optional*):
+                A function that calls at the end of each denoising steps during the inference. The function is called
+                with the following arguments: `callback_on_step_end(self, step, timestep, callback_kwargs)`.
+                `callback_kwargs` will include a list of all tensors as specified by
+                `callback_on_step_end_tensor_inputs`.
+            callback_on_step_end_tensor_inputs (`List`, *optional*):
+                The list of tensor inputs for the `callback_on_step_end` function. The tensors specified in the list
+                will be passed as `callback_kwargs` argument. You will only be able to include tensors that are listed
+                in the `._callback_tensor_inputs` attribute.
