Kolors IP Adapter Plus is an AI model specialized in generating images from text descriptions while incorporating visual reference elements. It stands out for its enhanced image extractor, based on the Openai-CLIP-336 model, which preserves more details from the input images. Thanks to a larger and higher-quality training dataset, it produces results that are both more diverse and more faithful to the text and reference image. The model excels particularly in semantic fidelity, meaning its ability to retain the essential visual characteristics of the source images. It is ideal for creative applications such as image retouching, generating stylistic variations, or integrating specific elements into new compositions.
We provide IP-Adapter-Plus weights and inference code based on Kolors-Basemodel. Examples of Kolors-IP-Adapter-Plus results are as follows:

Our improvements
For evaluation, we create a test set consisting of over 200 reference images and text prompts. We invite several image experts to provide fair ratings for the generated results of different models. The experts rate the generated images based on four criteria: visual appeal, text faithfulness, image faithfulness, and overall satisfaction. Image faithfulness measures the semantic preservation ability of IP-Adapter on reference images, while the other criteria follow the evaluation standards of BaseModel. The specific results are summarized in the table below, where Kolors-IP-Adapter-Plus achieves the highest overall satisfaction score.
| Model | Average Overall Satisfaction | Average Image Faithfulness | Average Visual Appeal | Average Text Faithfulness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SDXL-IP-Adapter-Plus | 2.29 | 2.64 | 3.22 | 4.02 |
| Midjourney-v6-CW | 2.79 | 3.0 | 3.92 | 4.35 |
| Kolors-IP-Adapter-Plus | 3.04 | 3.25 | 4.45 | 4.30 |
The ip_scale parameter is set to 0.3 in SDXL-IP-Adapter-Plus, while Midjourney-v6-CW utilizes the default cw scale.
Kolors-IP-Adapter-Plus employs chinese prompts, while other methods use english prompts.
The dependencies and installation are basically the same as the Kolors-BaseModel.
