Technical Implementation
SDXL Refiner
- Integration Point: Added as a post-processing module after the initial image is generated by the Stable Diffusion pipeline.
- Operation:
- Takes the intermediate image output and applies targeted refinements to textures, colors, and details.
- Leverages a negative prompt pipeline to suppress undesirable styles such as noise, sketch artifacts, and unrealistic deformations.
- Adjusts the model’s refinement step ratio dynamically based on user-specified constraints and stylistic requirements.
- Effect: Ensures production-ready outputs by enhancing visual consistency and detail fidelity across generated images.
LLM Query Caching
- Integration Point: Incorporated at the layout generation stage, where textual descriptions are converted into bounding box specifications or layouts by LLMs.
- Operation:
- A caching mechanism stores the results of queries to the LLM for specific prompts.
- For repeated or similar prompts, the system retrieves pre-computed layouts instead of querying the LLM again.
- Implements hashing techniques to uniquely identify prompts, ensuring efficient and collision-free caching.
- Effect:
- Reduces computational overhead for iterative or batch processing tasks.
- Improves pipeline efficiency, especially in scenarios requiring real-time feedback or high throughput.
- Significantly lowers operational costs associated with frequent LLM usage.
