IP-Adapter - AI Image Models Tool

Overview

IP-Adapter is a lightweight image prompt adapter from Tencent AI Lab that enables pre-trained text-to-image diffusion models to accept image prompts alongside text prompts for multimodal image generation. With only 22M parameters, it aims to deliver comparable or improved performance versus fine-tuned models and supports integration with various controllable generation tools. The project is available on GitHub.

Key Features

• Lightweight adapter with 22M parameters
• Adds image-prompt conditioning to pre-trained text-to-image diffusion models
• Comparable or improved performance versus fine-tuned models
• Supports integration with various controllable generation tools
• Available from a GitHub repository

Ideal Use Cases

• Combine image and text prompts for multimodal image generation
• Add image guidance to controllable generation toolchains
• Prototype image-conditioned behaviors without full model fine-tuning
• Research and experiments on prompt-conditioned image editing

Getting Started

• Open the GitHub repository for IP-Adapter
• Clone the repository to your local environment
• Install required dependencies listed in the repository
• Load a compatible pre-trained text-to-image diffusion model
• Integrate IP-Adapter into the model's prompt pipeline
• Provide image and text prompts, then run generation

Pricing
