Diffusers
Hugging Face library for diffusion models: training, inference, schedulers, and community pipelines in PyTorch.
Why it is included
The central OSS hub for open diffusion research replication and product fine-tunes (SD, Flux ecosystems, etc.).
Best for
Teams generating or fine-tuning image/video diffusion models with HF Hub integration.
Strengths
- Pipeline abstractions
- Huge model zoo
- Training examples
Limitations
- GPU memory hunger; licensing of weights is per-model
