A simple (not really tho) example of a discord bot which runs huggingface diffusers controlnet pipeline (the canny edges one, to be specific) in response to a slash command (/cannyremix <prompt>) with an input image attachment.
It is by no means complete, but should serve as a decent starting point for anyone who wants to implement a discord-bot interface to huggingface's diffusers pipelines.
Huggingface has a great blog post where you can read more about all the crazy stuff you can do with controlnet.
Install controlnet dependencies. This should grab torch and everything else you need (I think, feel free to open an issue if I missed something)
pip install diffusers==0.14.0 transformers xformers git+https://github.com/huggingface/accelerate.git
pip install opencv-contrib-python
pip install controlnet_aux
Install janus Queue
pip install git+https://github.com/aio-libs/janus
Install py-cord...
python3 -m pip install -U py-cord --pre
There is a lot left to do here, but the basics are working, the bot will respond with a message containing the intermediate results of the diffusion, and update the image periodically until it gets the final result from the pipeline.
This was no small feat, as discord.py uses asyncio and diffusers' pipelines are cpu bound and the progress callback isv not async friendly either. we end up needing to run the pipeline inside a thread and use a janus.Queue to send the intermediate and final images back to the async main thread so it can edit the bot's message.
This had me stumped for a good 24 hours or so, and I'm really grateful for [janus]((https://github.com/aio-libs/janus) which made everything work in about 10 minutes once I came across it.
