引言
近年来,扩散模型在图像生成领域取得了突破性进展,其中Stable Diffusion系列模型因其出色的生成质量和开源特性而广受欢迎。随着模型规模的扩大,推理速度和显存消耗成为实际部署的关键挑战。Stable Diffusion 3.5 FP8正是在这一背景下推出的优化版本,通过FP8精度量化大幅提升了推理效率。
1. Stable Diffusion 3.5 架构概述
1.1 核心组件
Stable Diffusion 3.5基于Latent Diffusion框架,主要由以下组件构成:
-
变分自编码器(VAE):负责将图像压缩到潜在空间,以及从潜在空间重建图像
-
U-Net网络:在潜在空间执行去噪过程的核心组件
-
文本编码器:将文本提示转换为嵌入向量
-
调度器(Scheduler):控制去噪过程的时间步长

2. FP8量化技术原理
2.1 FP8格式简介
FP8(8位浮点数)是一种新兴的数值格式,在保持足够精度的同时大幅减少内存占用和计算开销。主要有两种格式:
-
E5M2:5位指数,2位尾数,动态范围大
-
E4M3:4位指数,3位尾数,精度更高
