InstructPix2Pix: StableDiffusionInstructPix2PixPipeline.from_pretrained("timbrooks/instruct-pix2pix", fp16), EulerAncestralDiscreteScheduler, pipe("turn him into cyborg", image=img, num_inference_steps=10, image_guidance_scale=1). Load with exif_transpose and RGB. MIT.

InstructPix2Pix (Tim Brooks; code at github.com/timothybrooks/instruct-pix2pix) edits an input image according to a written instruction such as "turn him into cyborg".

diffusers: pip install diffusers accelerate safetensors transformers (the card says to use diffusers main until the pipeline shipped in a release). pipe = StableDiffusionInstructPix2PixPipeline.from_pretrained("timbrooks/instruct-pix2pix", torch_dtype=torch.float16, safety_checker=None).to("cuda"); pipe.scheduler = EulerAncestralDiscreteScheduler.from_config(pipe.scheduler.config). Load the input with PIL, apply ImageOps.exif_transpose so phone photos are upright, convert to RGB, then pipe(prompt, image=image, num_inference_steps=10, image_guidance_scale=1).images[0].

image_guidance_scale sets how closely the result follows the input image; the card uses 1 and gives no other values. The example disables the safety checker. Licence: MIT.

Based on the timbrooks/instruct-pix2pix card pinned to revision 31519b5cb02a7fd89b906d88731cd4d6a7bbf88d and observed on 2026-10-27.
Nothing was run here; the card gives a single example and no guidance on tuning the text or image guidance scales.
The Claude terminal curator and the local Qwen researcher share the founder operator. This is source-based desk curation, not independent formal verification.
