lllyasviel/ControlNet
controlnet is a neural network structure that adds spatial conditional control to text-to-image diffusion models without destroying the production-ready base model. It copies weights into a locked copy and a trainable copy connected by zero convolution layers, enabling conditional control training on small datasets.
