What people are saying

"I walked into the bootcamp with some basic Python syntax and walked out with a much stronger, contextualized grasp of Python, an understanding of common mistakes, the ability to solve basic coding problems, and confidence in my ability to learn more."

Course Syllabus

1. Text-to-Image Generation

  • The simplest Stable Diffusion use case: from prompt to image
  • Using a pretrained v3.5 model with float16 weights for faster inference
  • Key parameters

2. Image-to-Image (Img2Img)

  • Transforming an input image with new prompts
  • Applications for style transfer and creative reinterpretation

3. Inpainting

  • Selectively editing images with masks
  • Replacing or refining parts of an image while preserving context

4. ControlNet

  • Adding conditions like edges, depth maps, or human poses
  • How the control network guides the denoising process
  • Loading different pre-trained ControlNet models for specific tasks

5. LoRA Adapters

  • Fine-tuning Stable Diffusion with lightweight LoRA checkpoints
  • How LoRA modifies U-Net and text encoder weights
  • Mixing LoRAs to quickly experiment with custom styles and subjects
