Build Your Own AI Image Editing Assistant with Free Prompt Editing on Alibaba Cloud

Tutorial Overview

In this tutorial you will learn how to use Alibaba Cloud Interactive Modeling Platform PAI‑DSW with the Free Prompt Editing algorithm (selected paper from CVPR 2024) to develop a personal AIGC drawing assistant that enables text‑driven image editing on a single GPU.

What You Will Achieve

Free trial resources for the PAI platform

Create a PAI‑DSW instance

Compile code and launch WebUI in DSW

Develop a personal AIGC drawing assistant

Step 1: Obtain Free Trial Resources

New users receive 5000 CU·h free trial for PAI‑DSW. Claim the resource pack on the activity page or purchase a package (starting at 59 CNY).

Step 2: Create a PAI‑DSW Instance

Go to the PAI console (https://pai.console.aliyun.com/)

Activate PAI and create a default workspace

Select the Interactive Modeling PAI‑DSW service

Click “Create Instance”, give it a name, choose a GPU (A10 or V100 16 GB+), and select the image pytorch-develop:1.12-gpu-py39-cu113-ubuntu20.04 Confirm resource configuration and create the instance (takes 3‑5 minutes)

Step 3: Open the Tutorial Notebook in DSW

In the instance list, click “Open” to enter the DSW development environment.

In the Notebook tab, click “Launcher”, then “Go to Gallery”.

Search for “AI Artist: Unlimited Possibilities for Image Editing” and open the notebook.

Step 4: Run the Notebook

The notebook contains three sections: preparation, environment installation, and WebUI launch. Execute each code cell sequentially.

Prepare work

Download and install environment

Run WebUI

After the WebUI starts, click the provided URL to access the interface.

WebUI Adjustable Parameters

Attention map Replacing Scale (0.0‑1.0, recommended 0.4‑0.8)

DDIM Steps (denoising steps)

Layers to Edit (recommended 16‑32)

Image Resolution (recommended 512)

CFG Scale (text guidance strength, recommended 7.5)

Seed (random seed)

Example Edits

Changing background: Edit Prompt “a Chinese building on the forest”.

Changing location: Edit Prompt “a Chinese building in New York City”.

Changing style: Edit Prompt “a kids drawing of a cat”.

Van Gogh style: Edit Prompt “Van Gogh style architectural picture”.

Resource Cleanup

After experiments, stop or delete the instance to avoid extra charges.

If you plan to reuse, stop the instance; otherwise delete it.

Further Use

During the trial period you may continue using the DSW instance for model training and inference.
