|  | 13 | +# Guiders | 
|  | 14 | + | 
|  | 15 | +[Classifier-free guidance](https://huggingface.co/papers/2207.12598) steers model generation that better match a prompt and is commonly used to improve generation quality, control, and adherence to prompts. There are different types of guidance methods, and in Diffusers, they are known as *guiders*. Like blocks, it is easy to switch and use different guiders for different use cases without rewriting the pipeline. | 
|  | 16 | + | 
|  | 17 | +This guide will show you how to switch guiders, adjust guider parameters, and load and share them to the Hub. | 
|  | 18 | + | 
|  | 19 | +## Switching guiders | 
|  | 20 | + | 
|  | 21 | +[`ClassifierFreeGuidance`] is the default guider and created when a pipeline is initialized with [`~ModularPipelineBlocks.init_pipeline`]. It is created by `from_config` which means it doesn't require loading specifications from a modular repository. A guider won't be listed in `modular_model_index.json`. | 
|  | 22 | + | 
|  | 23 | +Use [`~ModularPipeline.get_component_spec`] to inspect a guider. | 
|  | 24 | + | 
|  | 25 | +```py | 
|  | 26 | +t2i_pipeline.get_component_spec("guider") | 
|  | 27 | +ComponentSpec(name='guider', type_hint=<class 'diffusers.guiders.classifier_free_guidance.ClassifierFreeGuidance'>, description=None, config=FrozenDict([('guidance_scale', 7.5), ('guidance_rescale', 0.0), ('use_original_formulation', False), ('start', 0.0), ('stop', 1.0), ('_use_default_values', ['start', 'guidance_rescale', 'stop', 'use_original_formulation'])]), repo=None, subfolder=None, variant=None, revision=None, default_creation_method='from_config') | 
|  | 28 | +``` | 
|  | 29 | + | 
|  | 30 | +Switch to a different guider by passing the new guider to [`~ModularPipeline.update_components`]. | 
|  | 31 | + | 
|  | 32 | +> [!TIP] | 
|  | 33 | +> Changing guiders will return some text letting you know you're changing the guider type. | 
|  | 34 | +> ```bash | 
|  | 35 | +> ModularPipeline.update_components: adding guider with new type: PerturbedAttentionGuidance, previous type: ClassifierFreeGuidance | 
|  | 36 | +> ``` | 
|  | 37 | +
 | 
|  | 38 | +```py | 
|  | 39 | +from diffusers import LayerSkipConfig, PerturbedAttentionGuidance | 
|  | 40 | +
 | 
|  | 41 | +config = LayerSkipConfig(indices=[2, 9], fqn="mid_block.attentions.0.transformer_blocks", skip_attention=False, skip_attention_scores=True, skip_ff=False) | 
|  | 42 | +guider = PerturbedAttentionGuidance( | 
|  | 43 | +    guidance_scale=5.0, perturbed_guidance_scale=2.5, perturbed_guidance_config=config | 
|  | 44 | +) | 
|  | 45 | +t2i_pipeline.update_components(guider=guider) | 
|  | 46 | +``` | 
|  | 47 | +
 | 
|  | 48 | +Use [`~ModularPipeline.get_component_spec`] again to verify the guider type is different. | 
|  | 49 | + | 
|  | 50 | +```py | 
|  | 51 | +t2i_pipeline.get_component_spec("guider") | 
|  | 52 | +ComponentSpec(name='guider', type_hint=<class 'diffusers.guiders.perturbed_attention_guidance.PerturbedAttentionGuidance'>, description=None, config=FrozenDict([('guidance_scale', 5.0), ('perturbed_guidance_scale', 2.5), ('perturbed_guidance_start', 0.01), ('perturbed_guidance_stop', 0.2), ('perturbed_guidance_layers', None), ('perturbed_guidance_config', LayerSkipConfig(indices=[2, 9], fqn='mid_block.attentions.0.transformer_blocks', skip_attention=False, skip_attention_scores=True, skip_ff=False, dropout=1.0)), ('guidance_rescale', 0.0), ('use_original_formulation', False), ('start', 0.0), ('stop', 1.0), ('_use_default_values', ['perturbed_guidance_start', 'use_original_formulation', 'perturbed_guidance_layers', 'stop', 'start', 'guidance_rescale', 'perturbed_guidance_stop']), ('_class_name', 'PerturbedAttentionGuidance'), ('_diffusers_version', '0.35.0.dev0')]), repo=None, subfolder=None, variant=None, revision=None, default_creation_method='from_config') | 
|  | 53 | +``` | 
|  | 54 | + | 
|  | 55 | +## Loading custom guiders | 
|  | 56 | + | 
|  | 57 | +Guiders that are already saved on the Hub with a `modular_model_index.json` file are considered a `from_pretrained` component now instead of a `from_config` component. | 
|  | 58 | + | 
|  | 59 | +```json | 
|  | 60 | +{ | 
|  | 61 | +  "guider": [ | 
|  | 62 | +    null, | 
|  | 63 | +    null, | 
|  | 64 | +    { | 
|  | 65 | +      "repo": "YiYiXu/modular-loader-t2i-guider", | 
|  | 66 | +      "revision": null, | 
|  | 67 | +      "subfolder": "pag_guider", | 
|  | 68 | +      "type_hint": [ | 
|  | 69 | +        "diffusers", | 
|  | 70 | +        "PerturbedAttentionGuidance" | 
|  | 71 | +      ], | 
|  | 72 | +      "variant": null | 
|  | 73 | +    } | 
|  | 74 | +  ] | 
|  | 75 | +} | 
|  | 76 | +``` | 
|  | 77 | + | 
|  | 78 | +The guider is only created after calling [`~ModularPipeline.load_default_components`] based on the loading specification in `modular_model_index.json`. | 
|  | 79 | + | 
|  | 80 | +```py | 
|  | 81 | +t2i_pipeline = t2i_blocks.init_pipeline("YiYiXu/modular-doc-guider") | 
|  | 82 | +# not created during init | 
|  | 83 | +assert t2i_pipeline.guider is None | 
|  | 84 | +t2i_pipeline.load_default_components() | 
|  | 85 | +# loaded as PAG guider | 
|  | 86 | +t2i_pipeline.guider | 
|  | 87 | +``` | 
|  | 88 | + | 
|  | 89 | + | 
|  | 90 | +## Changing guider parameters | 
|  | 91 | + | 
|  | 92 | +The guider parameters can be adjusted with either the [`~ComponentSpec.create`] method or with [`~ModularPipeline.update_components`]. The example below changes the `guidance_scale` value. | 
|  | 93 | + | 
|  | 94 | +<hfoptions id="switch"> | 
|  | 95 | +<hfoption id="create"> | 
|  | 96 | + | 
|  | 97 | +```py | 
|  | 98 | +guider_spec = t2i_pipeline.get_component_spec("guider") | 
|  | 99 | +guider = guider_spec.create(guidance_scale=10) | 
|  | 100 | +t2i_pipeline.update_components(guider=guider) | 
|  | 101 | +``` | 
|  | 102 | + | 
|  | 103 | +</hfoption> | 
|  | 104 | +<hfoption id="update_components"> | 
|  | 105 | + | 
|  | 106 | +```py | 
|  | 107 | +guider_spec = t2i_pipeline.get_component_spec("guider") | 
|  | 108 | +guider_spec.config["guidance_scale"] = 10 | 
|  | 109 | +t2i_pipeline.update_components(guider=guider_spec) | 
|  | 110 | +``` | 
|  | 111 | + | 
|  | 112 | +</hfoption> | 
|  | 113 | +</hfoptions> | 
|  | 114 | + | 
|  | 115 | +## Uploading custom guiders | 
|  | 116 | + | 
|  | 117 | +Call the [`~utils.PushToHubMixin.push_to_hub`] method on a custom guider to share it to the Hub. | 
|  | 118 | + | 
|  | 119 | +```py | 
|  | 120 | +guider.push_to_hub("YiYiXu/modular-loader-t2i-guider", subfolder="pag_guider") | 
|  | 121 | +``` | 
|  | 122 | + | 
|  | 123 | +To make this guider available to the pipeline, either modify the `modular_model_index.json` file or use the [`~ModularPipeline.update_components`] method. | 
|  | 124 | + | 
|  | 125 | +<hfoptions id="upload"> | 
|  | 126 | +<hfoption id="modular_model_index.json"> | 
|  | 127 | + | 
|  | 128 | +Edit the `modular_model_index.json` file and add a loading specification for the guider by pointing to a folder containing the guider config. | 
|  | 129 | + | 
|  | 130 | +```json | 
|  | 131 | +{ | 
|  | 132 | +  "guider": [ | 
|  | 133 | +    "diffusers", | 
|  | 134 | +    "PerturbedAttentionGuidance", | 
|  | 135 | +    { | 
|  | 136 | +      "repo": "YiYiXu/modular-loader-t2i-guider", | 
|  | 137 | +      "revision": null, | 
|  | 138 | +      "subfolder": "pag_guider", | 
|  | 139 | +      "type_hint": [ | 
|  | 140 | +        "diffusers", | 
|  | 141 | +        "PerturbedAttentionGuidance" | 
|  | 142 | +      ], | 
|  | 143 | +      "variant": null | 
|  | 144 | +    } | 
|  | 145 | +  ], | 
|  | 146 | +``` | 
|  | 147 | + | 
|  | 148 | +</hfoption> | 
|  | 149 | +<hfoption id="update_components"> | 
|  | 150 | + | 
|  | 151 | +Change the [`~ComponentSpec.default_creation_method`] to `"from_pretrained"` and use [`~ModularPipeline.update_components`] to update the guider and component specifications as well as the pipeline config. | 
|  | 152 | + | 
|  | 153 | +> [!TIP] | 
|  | 154 | +> Changing the creation method will return some text letting you know you're changing the creation type to `from_pretrained`. | 
|  | 155 | +> ```bash | 
|  | 156 | +> ModularPipeline.update_components: changing the default_creation_method of guider from from_config to from_pretrained. | 
|  | 157 | +> ``` | 
|  | 158 | + | 
|  | 159 | +```py | 
|  | 160 | +guider_spec = t2i_pipeline.get_component_spec("guider") | 
|  | 161 | +guider_spec.default_creation_method="from_pretrained" | 
|  | 162 | +guider_spec.repo="YiYiXu/modular-loader-t2i-guider" | 
|  | 163 | +guider_spec.subfolder="pag_guider" | 
|  | 164 | +pag_guider = guider_spec.load() | 
|  | 165 | +t2i_pipeline.update_components(guider=pag_guider) | 
|  | 166 | +``` | 
|  | 167 | + | 
|  | 168 | +To make it the default guider for a pipeline, call [`~utils.PushToHubMixin.push_to_hub`]. This is an optional step and not necessary if you only want to experiment locally. | 
|  | 169 | + | 
|  | 170 | +```py | 
|  | 171 | +t2i_pipeline.push_to_hub("YiYiXu/modular-doc-guider") | 
|  | 172 | +``` |
