Overview

A course of Jupyter notebooks and written units that teach diffusion models: theory, generating images and audio with the Diffusers library, training from scratch, fine-tuning, guidance and Stable Diffusion. Units 1 to 3 are listed with 2022 publishing dates; unit 4 is marked as to be confirmed for January 2023.

Who it is for: Python developers with PyTorch basics learning diffusion models

Strengths

  • Hands-on notebooks pair each unit's theory with runnable Diffusers and PyTorch code
  • Covers training from scratch, fine-tuning, guidance and Stable Diffusion in one sequence
  • Apache-2.0 licensed and free; community translations in Chinese, Japanese and Korean

Weaknesses

  • Syllabus lists unit 4 as TBC for January 2023; README says more is coming soon
  • Requires a Hugging Face account to push models and pipelines to the hub
  • Assumes solid Python and basic PyTorch; only links external tutorials for those
  • Translations live in separate repos and may lag the English content

What it needs

  • Needs Hugging Face account, Diffusers, PyTorch, Jupyter
  • Models: Stable Diffusion, Diffusers pipelines
