# FLUX.1-dev-ControlNet-Union-Pro-2.0

This repository contains an unified ControlNet for FLUX.1-dev model released by [Shakker Labs](https://huggingface.co/Shakker-Labs). We provide an [online demo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Shakker-Labs/FLUX.1-dev-ControlNet-Union-Pro-2.0). A FP8 quantized version provided by community can be found in [ABDALLALSWAITI/FLUX.1-dev-ControlNet-Union-Pro-2.0-fp8](https://huggingface.co/ABDALLALSWAITI/FLUX.1-dev-ControlNet-Union-Pro-2.0-fp8).

# Keynotes
In comparison with [Shakker-Labs/FLUX.1-dev-ControlNet-Union-Pro](https://huggingface.co/Shakker-Labs/FLUX.1-dev-ControlNet-Union-Pro),
- Remove mode embedding, has smaller model size.
- Improve on canny and pose, better control and aesthetics.
- Add support for soft edge. Remove support for tile.

# Model Cards
- This ControlNet consists of 6 double blocks and 0 single block. Mode embedding is removed.
- We train the model from scratch for 300k steps using a dataset of 20M high-quality general and human images. We train at 512x512 resolution in BFloat16, batch size = 128, learning rate = 2e-5, the guidance is uniformly sampled from [1, 7]. We set the text drop ratio to 0.20.
- This model supports multiple control modes, including canny, soft edge, depth, pose, gray. You can use it just as a normal ControlNet.
- This model can be jointly used with other ControlNets.

# Inference
```python
import torch
from diffusers.utils import load_image
from diffusers import FluxControlNetPipeline, FluxControlNetModel

base_model = 'black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev'
controlnet_model_union = 'Shakker-Labs/FLUX.1-dev-ControlNet-Union-Pro-2.0'

controlnet = FluxControlNetModel.from_pretrained(controlnet_model_union, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
pipe = FluxControlNetPipeline.from_pretrained(base_model, controlnet=controlnet, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
pipe.to("cuda")

# replace with other conds
control_image = load_image("./conds/canny.png")
width, height = control_image.size

prompt = "A young girl stands gracefully at the edge of a serene beach, her long, flowing hair gently tousled by the sea breeze. She wears a soft, pastel-colored dress that complements the tranquil blues and greens of the coastal scenery. The golden hues of the setting sun cast a warm glow on her face, highlighting her serene expression. The background features a vast, azure ocean with gentle waves lapping at the shore, surrounded by distant cliffs and a clear, cloudless sky. The composition emphasizes the girl's serene presence amidst the natural beauty, with a balanced blend of warm and cool tones."

image = pipe(
    prompt, 
    control_image=control_image,

# Multi-Inference
```python

# You can directly import from diffusers by install the laster version from source
# from diffusers import FluxControlNetPipeline, FluxControlNetModel

# use local files for this moment

from controlnet_flux import FluxControlNetModel

base_model = 'black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev'

controlnet = FluxControlNetModel.from_pretrained(controlnet_model_union, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
pipe = FluxControlNetPipeline.from_pretrained(base_model, controlnet=[controlnet], torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16) # use [] to enable multi-CNs

# Recommended Parameters
You can adjust controlnet_conditioning_scale and control_guidance_end for stronger control and better detail preservation. For better stability, we highly suggest to use detailed prompt, for some cases, multi-conditions help.
- Canny: use cv2.Canny, controlnet_conditioning_scale=0.7, control_guidance_end=0.8.
- Soft Edge: use [AnylineDetector](https://github.com/huggingface/controlnet_aux), controlnet_conditioning_scale=0.7, control_guidance_end=0.8.
- Depth: use [depth-anything](https://github.com/DepthAnything/Depth-Anything-V2), controlnet_conditioning_scale=0.8, control_guidance_end=0.8.
- Pose: use [DWPose](https://github.com/IDEA-Research/DWPose/tree/onnx), controlnet_conditioning_scale=0.9, control_guidance_end=0.65.
- Gray: use cv2.cvtColor, controlnet_conditioning_scale=0.9, control_guidance_end=0.8.
