+
+       1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License,
+          the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
+          non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to
+          exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
+
+            a. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or
+               in part, for NonCommercial purposes only; and
+
+            b. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material for
+               NonCommercial purposes only.
+
+       2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where
+          Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public
+          License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with
+          its terms and conditions.
+
+       3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section
+          6(a).
+
+       4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The
+          Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in
+          all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created,
+          and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The
+          Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or
+          authority to forbid You from making technical modifications
+          necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
+          technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective
+          Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License,
+          simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)
+          (4) never produces Adapted Material.
+
+       5. Downstream recipients.
+
+            a. Offer from the Licensor -- Licensed Material. Every
+               recipient of the Licensed Material automatically
+               receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the
+               Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this
+               Public License.
+
+            b. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose
+               any additional or different terms or conditions on, or
+               apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the
+               Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the
+               Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed
+               Material.
+
+       6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
+          may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You
+          are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected
+          with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by,
+          the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as
+          provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
+
+  b. Other rights.
+
+       1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not
+          licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity,
+          privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to
+          the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to
+          assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited
+          extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed
+          Rights, but not otherwise.
+

+     Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database
+     Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and
+
+  c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share
+     all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
+
+For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not
+replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed
+Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.

+ByteDance Intelligent Creation
+
+> **Abstract:** *Achieving flexible and high-fidelity identity-preserved image generation remains formidable, particularly with advanced Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) like FLUX. We introduce **InfiniteYou (InfU)**, one of the earliest robust frameworks leveraging DiTs for this task. InfU addresses significant issues of existing methods, such as insufficient identity similarity, poor text-image alignment, and low generation quality and aesthetics. Central to InfU is InfuseNet, a component that injects identity features into the DiT base model via residual connections, enhancing identity similarity while maintaining generation capabilities. A multi-stage training strategy, including pretraining and supervised fine-tuning (SFT) with synthetic single-person-multiple-sample (SPMS) data, further improves text-image alignment, ameliorates image quality, and alleviates face copy-pasting. Extensive experiments demonstrate that InfU achieves state-of-the-art performance, surpassing existing baselines. In addition, the plug-and-play design of InfU ensures compatibility with various existing methods, offering a valuable contribution to the broader community.*

+
+## 🔧 Installation and Usage
+
+Please clone our [GitHub code repository](https://github.com/bytedance/InfiniteYou) and follow the instructions to use the released models for local inference.
+
+<!-- We appreciate the GPU grant from the HF中国镜像站 team.  -->
+You can also try our [InfiniteYou-FLUX HF中国镜像站 demo]() online.
+
+
+## 💡 Important Usage Tips
+
+- We released two model variants of InfiniteYou-FLUX v1.0: [aes_stage2](https://huggingface.co/ByteDance/InfiniteYou/tree/main/infu_flux_v1.0/aes_stage2) and [sim_stage1](https://huggingface.co/ByteDance/InfiniteYou/tree/main/infu_flux_v1.0/sim_stage1). The `aes_stage2` is our model after stage-2 SFT, which is used by default for better text-image alignment and aesthetics. If you wish to achieve higher ID similarity, please try `sim_stage1`.
+
+- To better fit specific personal needs, we find that two arguments are highly useful to adjust in our [code](https://github.com/bytedance/InfiniteYou): `--infusenet_conditioning_scale` (default: `1.0`) and `--infusenet_guidance_start` (default: `0.0`). Usually, you may NOT need to adjust them. If necessary, start by trying a slightly larger `--infusenet_guidance_start` (*e.g.*, `0.1`) only (especially helpful for `sim_stage1`). If still not satisfactory, then try a slightly smaller `--infusenet_conditioning_scale` (*e.g.*, `0.9`).
+
+- We also provided two LoRAs ([Realism](https://civitai.com/models/631986?modelVersionId=706528) and [Anti-blur](https://civitai.com/models/675581/anti-blur-flux-lora)) to enable additional usage flexibility. They are *entirely optional*, which are examples to facilitate users to try but are NOT used in our paper.
+
+- If the generated gender does not align with your preferences, try adding specific words in the text prompt, such as 'a man', 'a woman', *etc*. We encourage users to use inclusive and respectful language.

+| InfiniteYou Version | Model Version | Base Model Trained with | Description |  
+| :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
+| [InfiniteYou-FLUX v1.0](https://huggingface.co/ByteDance/InfiniteYou) | [aes_stage2](https://huggingface.co/ByteDance/InfiniteYou/tree/main/infu_flux_v1.0/aes_stage2) | [FLUX.1-dev](https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev) | Stage-2 model after SFT. Better text-image alignment and aesthetics. |
+| [InfiniteYou-FLUX v1.0](https://huggingface.co/ByteDance/InfiniteYou) | [sim_stage1](https://huggingface.co/ByteDance/InfiniteYou/tree/main/infu_flux_v1.0/sim_stage1) | [FLUX.1-dev](https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev) | Stage-1 model before SFT. Higher identity similarity. |
+
+
+## 🆚 Comparison with State-of-the-Art Relevant Methods
+
+![comparative_results](./assets/comparative_results.jpg)
+
+Qualitative comparison results of InfU with the state-of-the-art baselines, FLUX.1-dev IP-Adapter and PuLID-FLUX. The identity similarity and text-image alignment of the results generated by FLUX.1-dev IP-Adapter (IPA) are inadequate. PuLID-FLUX generates images with decent identity similarity. However, it suffers from poor text-image alignment (Columns 1, 2, 4), and the image quality (e.g., bad hands in Column 5) and aesthetic appeal are degraded. In addition, the face copy-paste issue of PuLID-FLUX is evident (Column 5). In comparison, the proposed InfU outperforms the baselines across all dimensions.
+
+
+## ⚙️ Plug-and-Play Property with Off-the-Shelf Popular Approaches
+
+![plug_and_play](./assets/plug_and_play.jpg)
+
+InfU features a desirable plug-and-play design, compatible with many existing methods. It naturally supports base model replacement with any variants of FLUX.1-dev, such as FLUX.1-schnell for more efficient generation (e.g., in 4 steps). The compatibility with ControlNets and LoRAs provides more controllability and flexibility for customized tasks. Notably, the compatibility with OminiControl extends our potential for multi-concept personalization, such as interacted identity (ID) and object personalized generation. InfU is also compatible with IP-Adapter (IPA) for stylization of personalized images, producing decent results when injecting style references via IPA. Our plug-and-play feature may extend to even more approaches, providing valuable contributions to the broader community.
