Stable Diffusion 3.5 FP8 模型架构解析与优化技巧

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：

1. 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
2. U-Net 网络：在潜在空间执行去噪过程的核心组件
3. 文本编码器：将文本提示转换为嵌入向量
4. 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
