SynLayers Stage 2 Checkpoints

This repository hosts the Stage 2 checkpoints and runtime assets for SynLayers, our real-world image layer decomposition system.

The main assets in this repo include:

• SynLayers_checkpoints/FLUX.1-dev
• SynLayers_checkpoints/FLUX.1-dev-Controlnet-Inpainting-Alpha
• SynLayers_ckpt/step_120000
• ckpt/trans_vae/0008000.pt
• ckpt/pre_trained_LoRA
• ckpt/prism_ft_LoRA

These assets are used by our public Space: SynLayers/synlayers

The full SynLayers system has two stages:

1. bbox + whole-caption prediction from SynLayers/Bbox-caption-8b
2. layer decomposition into transparent RGBA outputs using this repository

This repository is intended for the SynLayers decomposition pipeline. It is not meant to be loaded as a single generic DiffusionPipeline(prompt) model.
