ERNIE Image
ERNIE-Image is a text-to-image diffusion model hosted on Hugging Face under the baidu organization. It generates images from textual prompts and belongs to the class of diffusion-based text-to-image models.
The model is provided with an ErnieImagePipeline implementation and is distributed in Safetensors format. It can be loaded through the Diffusers library using a few lines of Python code that specify a torch bfloat16 data type and a CUDA device map. Example usage includes creating a pipeline from the repository identifier and passing a prompt such as "Astronaut in a jungle, cold color palette, muted colors, detailed, 8k" to produce an output image.
Integration is available via several inference providers, Colab and Kaggle notebooks, and local applications including Draw Things and DiffusionBee. The repository lists benchmark results on GENEval, OneIG-EN, OneIG-ZH, and LongTextBench. A lighter variant called ERNIE-Image-Turbo is referenced alongside the main model.
ERNIE-Image is released under the Apache 2.0 license. The page indicates 3.24k likes and 664 followers for the repository.
