pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(model_path)

# Move model to GPU if available
device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
pipe = pipe.to(device)

# Function to generate an image with custom parameters
def generate_image(pipe, prompt, guidance_scale=7.5, num_inference_steps=100, width=768, height=512, sampler=None):
    if sampler:
        pipe.scheduler = sampler.from_config(pipe.scheduler.config)
    image = pipe(prompt, guidance_scale=guidance_scale, num_inference_steps=num_inference_steps, width=width, height=height).images[0]
    return image

# Parameters explanation:# guidance_scale: Controls the creativity vs. accuracy of the generated image (higher value = more creative).# num_inference_steps: Number of steps for the image generation process (more steps = higher quality).# width and height: Dimensions of the generated image.# sampler: Optional parameter to use a different sampling method.# Generate an image with all custom parameters
prompt = "A futuristic cityscape"
image = generate_image(pipe, prompt, guidance_scale=7.5, num_inference_steps=20, width=512, height=512, sampler=EulerAncestralDiscreteScheduler)
