## Overview
CFG-Parallel accelerates diffusion models by distributing positive and negative classifier-free guidance (CFG) passes across different GPUs, providing ~1.8x speedup when CFG is enabled. It's ideal for image editing tasks that require guidance scales greater than 1.0.
See supported models list in [Supported Models](../../diffusion_features.md#supported-models).
---
## Quick Start
### Basic Usage
Simplest working example:
```python
from vllm_omni import Omni
from vllm_omni.diffusion.data import DiffusionParallelConfig
from vllm_omni.inputs.data import OmniDiffusionSamplingParams
from PIL import Image
omni = Omni(
model="Qwen/Qwen-Image-Edit",
parallel_config=DiffusionParallelConfig(cfg_parallel_size=2), # Enable CFG-Parallel
)
input_image = Image.open("input.png").convert("RGB")
outputs = omni.generate(
{
"prompt": "turn this cat to a dog",
"negative_prompt": "low quality, blurry",
"multi_modal_data": {"image": input_image},
},
OmniDiffusionSamplingParams(
true_cfg_scale=4.0,
num_inference_steps=50,
),
)
```
---
## Example Script
### Offline Inference
Use python script under `examples/offline_inference/image_to_image/image_edit.py`:
```bash
cd examples/offline_inference/image_to_image/
python image_edit.py \
--model "Qwen/Qwen-Image-Edit" \
--image "input.png" \
--prompt "turn this cat to a dog" \
--negative-prompt "low quality, blurry" \
--cfg-scale 4.0 \
--output "edited_image.png" \
--cfg-parallel-size 2
```
### Online Serving
Enable CFG-Parallel in online serving:
```bash
# Default configuration
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen-Image-Edit --omni --port 8091 --cfg-parallel-size 2
```
---
## Configuration Parameters
In `DiffusionParallelConfig`
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `cfg_parallel_size` | int | 1 | Number of GPUs for CFG parallelism. Set to 2 to enable CFG-Parallel (rank 0 for positive, rank 1 for negative branch) |
!!! info
Most models support `cfg_parallel_size=2` (positive branch on rank 0, negative branch on rank 1). **Bagel** is an exception: it supports `cfg_parallel_size=3`, which adds a third branch on rank 2 for full three-way CFG parallelism.
---
## Best Practices
### When to Use
**Good for:**
- Tasks requiring classifier-free guidance
- Multi-GPU setups (at least 2 GPUs available)
- Combining with other parallelism methods (sequence/tensor parallel)
**Not for:**
- Single GPU setups
- Models that don't support CFG-Parallel (check [supported models](../../diffusion_features.md#supported-models))
- Workloads without negative prompts or classifier-free guidance
- Very short inference runs (< 10 steps) where parallelism overhead may outweigh benefits
### Expected Performance
| Configuration | Speedup | Quality | Use Case |
|--------------|---------|---------|----------|
| CFG-Parallel (2 GPUs) | 1.5~1.8x | No degradation | Large model, VRAM limited |
---
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issue 1: No Speedup with CFG-Parallel
**Symptoms**: CFG-Parallel enabled but no performance improvement
**Solutions**:
1. **Ensure CFG scale is set correctly:**
```python
# Bad: No CFG effect
sampling_params = OmniDiffusionSamplingParams(num_inference_steps=50)
# Good: CFG-Parallel will work
sampling_params = OmniDiffusionSamplingParams(
num_inference_steps=50,
true_cfg_scale=4.0 # Must be > 1.0
)
```
2. **Add negative prompt:**
```python
outputs = omni.generate(
{
"prompt": "beautiful landscape",
"negative_prompt": "low quality, blurry", # Required for best results
"multi_modal_data": {"image": input_image}
},
sampling_params
)
```
3. **Check model support:**
- Verify your model in [supported models](../../diffusion_features.md#supported-models)
- Some models don't support CFG-Parallel
---
## Summary
1.**Enable CFG-Parallel** - Set `cfg_parallel_size=2` in `DiffusionParallelConfig` to get speedup when using CFG
2.**Set CFG Scale** - Ensure `true_cfg_scale > 1.0` in `OmniDiffusionSamplingParams` for CFG-Parallel to take effect
3.**Check Model Support** - Verify your model supports CFG-Parallel in [supported models](../../diffusion_features.md#supported-models)
