This is the codebase for Diffusion Models Beat GANS on Image Synthesis.
This repository is based on openai/improved-diffusion, with modifications for classifier conditioning and architecture improvements.
We have released checkpoints for the main models in the paper. Before using these models, please review the corresponding model card to understand the intended use and limitations of these models.

To sample from these models, you can use the classifier_sample.py, image_sample.py, and super_res_sample.py scripts.
Here, we provide flags for sampling from all of these models.
We assume that you have downloaded the relevant model checkpoints into a folder called models/.
For these examples, we will generate 100 samples with batch size 4. Feel free to change these values.
SAMPLE_FLAGS="--batch_size 4 --num_samples 100 --timestep_respacing 250"
Note for these sampling runs that you can set --classifier_scale 0 to sample from the base diffusion model.
You may also use the image_sample.py script instead of classifier_sample.py in that case.

For these runs, we assume you have some base samples in a file 64_samples.npz or 128_samples.npz for the two respective models.

These models are class-unconditional and correspond to a single LSUN class. Here, we show how to sample from lsun_bedroom.pt, but the other two LSUN checkpoints should work as well:
MODEL_FLAGS="--attention_resolutions 32,16,8 --class_cond False --diffusion_steps 1000 --dropout 0.1 --image_size 256 --learn_sigma True --noise_schedule linear --num_channels 256 --num_head_channels 64 --num_res_blocks 2 --resblock_updown True --use_fp16 True --use_scale_shift_norm True"
python image_sample.py $MODEL_FLAGS --model_path models/lsun_bedroom.pt $SAMPLE_FLAGS
You can sample from lsun_horse_nodropout.pt by changing the dropout flag:
MODEL_FLAGS="--attention_resolutions 32,16,8 --class_cond False --diffusion_steps 1000 --dropout 0.0 --image_size 256 --learn_sigma True --noise_schedule linear --num_channels 256 --num_head_channels 64 --num_res_blocks 2 --resblock_updown True --use_fp16 True --use_scale_shift_norm True"
python image_sample.py $MODEL_FLAGS --model_path models/lsun_horse_nodropout.pt $SAMPLE_FLAGS
Note that for these models, the best samples result from using 1000 timesteps:
SAMPLE_FLAGS="--batch_size 4 --num_samples 100 --timestep_respacing 1000"

Training diffusion models is described in the parent repository. Training a classifier is similar. We assume you have put training hyperparameters into a TRAIN_FLAGS variable, and classifier hyperparameters into a CLASSIFIER_FLAGS variable. Then you can run:
mpiexec -n N python scripts/classifier_train.py --data_dir path/to/imagenet $TRAIN_FLAGS $CLASSIFIER_FLAGS
Make sure to divide the batch size in TRAIN_FLAGS by the number of MPI processes you are using.
Here are flags for training the 128x128 classifier. You can modify these for training classifiers at other resolutions:
TRAIN_FLAGS="--iterations 300000 --anneal_lr True --batch_size 256 --lr 3e-4 --save_interval 10000 --weight_decay 0.05"
CLASSIFIER_FLAGS="--image_size 128 --classifier_attention_resolutions 32,16,8 --classifier_depth 2 --classifier_width 128 --classifier_pool attention --classifier_resblock_updown True --classifier_use_scale_shift_norm True"For sampling from a 128x128 classifier-guided model, 25 step DDIM:
MODEL_FLAGS="--attention_resolutions 32,16,8 --class_cond True --image_size 128 --learn_sigma True --num_channels 256 --num_heads 4 --num_res_blocks 2 --resblock_updown True --use_fp16 True --use_scale_shift_norm True"

mpiexec -n N python scripts/classifier_sample.py \
--model_path /path/to/model.pt \
--classifier_path path/to/classifier.pt \
$MODEL_FLAGS $CLASSIFIER_FLAGS $SAMPLE_FLAGSTo sample for 250 timesteps without DDIM, replace --timestep_respacing ddim25 to --timestep_respacing 250, and replace --use_ddim True with --use_ddim False.
