Implement OneDiff optimization on T2I pipeline [50 LPT]

[rickstaa]

Overview

Following a successful research bounty into the OneDiff optimization algorithm, we've discovered that combining OneDiff with OneFlow can accelerate inference by approximately 60% while maintaining image quality. The only drawback is an increase in startup time from 2 seconds to 68 seconds. Given that a 60% reduction in inference time can significantly enhance network performance, we believe it's crucial to provide orchestrators with the means to enable this optimization.

Currently, the core AI team is occupied with major restructuring tasks, including the AI worker and pipeline generalisations, developing new pipelines for startups, and releasing client SDKs. Therefore, we are contacting the community to implement this vital optimization for us 🏗️⚡.

Required Skillset

• Strong proficiency in Docker.
• Advanced Python programming skills.
• Expertise in managing Python virtual environments.
• Experience with the Hugging Face Diffusers library.

Bounty Requirements

1. Enable OneDiff Optimization:
   • Implement a mechanism for orchestrators to enable the OneDiff optimization with the OneFlow compiler on the T2I pipeline using a ONEDIFF Environment variable, similar to the approach used for Deep Cache and Stable Fast optimizations. For reference, see the implementation here.
2. Integration in AI-Runner Container:
   • Ensure that the OneDiff optimization can be integrated into the ai-runner container without causing dependency conflicts with existing pipelines or optimizations. This will likely involve updating Torch.

Implementation Tips

• Utilize Developer Documentation:
  • Refer to our developer documentation for both the worker and runner. These resources offer valuable tips for accelerating your development process, including how to mock pipelines and enable direct debugging.
• Review Existing Optimizations:
  • The T2I pipeline already includes several optimizations. Review the existing code to understand these optimizations and incorporate similar strategies when implementing the new OneDiff optimization.
• Seek Help Promptly:
  • This bounty is challenging and may involve dependency errors that the core AI team has likely encountered before. If you get stuck, don’t hesitate to ask questions in the #🛋│developer-lounge channel.
