R · What Makes It Special: Tencent AI Lab's IP-Adapter, a 22M-parameter add-on that lets pretrained text-to-image diffusion models such as Stable Diffusion 1.5 and SDXL take an image as the prompt, using decoupled cross-attention that keeps image and text features separate so the two kinds of prompt can be combined; it matches or beats fully fine-tuned image-prompt models, carries over to custom models built on the same base and to ControlNet-style controls, and later gained FaceID variants. Apache 2.0 weights.
