Sketch-to-Image Pipeline Implementation Bounty [$900]

[JJassonn69]

Overview

We're excited to expand the capabilities of our AI-Network by introducing a new sketch-to-image pipeline. This innovative feature will allow users to generate creative images from simple sketches, adding multiple avenues for AI-enhanced art creation to our AI network. 🔥

We’re inviting the community to assist in implementing this new pipeline within the AI-worker component of the AI-Network. By contributing to this pipeline, you will empower artistic visions and speed up the creation utilizing the decentalized Livepeer AI-Network. 🚀

Required Skillset

• Proficient in FastAPI.
• Strong background in Python.
• Familiarity with Docker and Hugging Face 🤗.

Bounty Requirements

1. Implementation: Develop a working /sketch-to-image route and pipeline within the AI-worker repository. This new pipeline must be accessible via Docker on port 8800.
2. Functionality: The pipeline should accept an initial sketch image and a text prompt to generate a corresponding image. It should also offer adjustable parameters such as negative_prompt, controlnet_conditioning_scale, num_inference_steps, width, and height based on the model's requirements.

Scope Exclusions

• This bounty does NOT require the complete end-to-end implementation of this pipeline on the go-livepeer side, including payment processing or job routing. These aspects will be managed by the AI SPE team or addressed in a future bounty.

Implementation Tips

To learn how to create a new pipeline, refer to the Hugging Face spaces. You can also explore the following pull requests to see how other pipelines were implemented:

• Pull Request #96
• Pull Request #103

In some cases, you may not be able to integrate the new pipeline directly into the regular AI Runner Docker container due to dependency conflicts or missing packages. If this occurs, you can follow the approach outlined in livepeer/ai-worker#185 to create a custom container for the pipeline. This approach uses the regular AI runner as the base while keeping the base container lean.

Additionally, keep the following best practices in mind:

• Build on Previous Work: Review existing implementations of sketch-to-draw available in Hugging Face documentation and this space. These can serve as helpful starting points.
• Consult Developer Resources: Our developer documentation for the worker and runner includes useful tips for mocking pipelines and debugging directly, which can accelerate the development process.
• Update OpenAPI Specification: Use the runner/gen_openapi.py script to generate an updated OpenAPI specification.
• Generate Go-Livepeer Bindings: In the main repository directory, run the make command to generate the necessary bindings, ensuring compatibility with the go-livepeer repository.
