SynLayers Stage 2

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

The main assets in this repo are:

• 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 the public SynLayers demo: SynLayers/synlayers

The full pipeline uses:

1. Stage 1 bbox + whole-caption prediction from SynLayers/Bbox-caption-8b
2. Stage 2 layer decomposition from this repository

This repo is intended for the SynLayers decomposition pipeline rather than a single generic DiffusionPipeline(prompt) model.
