NVIDIA AI Workbench: Introduction

This is an NVIDIA AI Workbench example Project that demonstrates how to customize a Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) model. This project takes the latest SDXL model and familiarizes it with Toy Jensen via finetuning on a few pictures, thereby teaching it to generate new images which include him when it didn't recognize him previously. Next, we will also enable the user to bring their own custom image data to fine-tune the model on. Users in the AI Workbench Beta Program can get up and running with this Project in minutes.

Project Description

Over the past few years Generative AI models have popped up everywhere - from creating realistic responses to complex questions, to generating images and music to impress art critics around the globe. In this project we use the Hugging Face Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) model to create images from text prompts. You'll see how to import the SDXL model and use it to generate an image.

From there, you'll see how you can fine-tune the model using DreamBooth. We'll use a small number of photos of Toy Jensen to fine-tune the model. This will allow us to generate new images that include Toy Jensen when the model didn't previously recognize him. After that, you'll have the chance to fine-tune the model on your own images. Perhaps you want to create an image of you at the bottom of the ocean, or in outer space? By the end of this notebook you will be able to!
