+1 to having a way to convert diffusers models to .ckpt
format. Though I don't expect anyone here to tackle that task.
Having to support two different types of model formats in this code base would be no fun
Looks like we may get a notebook to translate models eventually https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/issues/672
Been looking for a script to port diffusers weights --> stable-diffusion weights for a while.
There's now a PR about such a script at https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/pull/701, if it works as intended I'd consider this feature request solved.
Marking this as closed since the commit above was merged, which allows converting models into format stable-diffusion-webui
accepts.
Want to reopen this. Since it would be good to be able to load diffusers natively in A1111, while there are alternative programs that do allow diffusers like InvokeAI, it would be good to get all the other things about A1111. Kohya since a couple months back allows to train both diffusers and safetensors. The issue with safetensors is that it lacks the config and has to be loaded from somewhere else, so its incompatible with models that don't run the default clip tokenizer since its using the same config for all models. Now for 99% of people who "just use" this is a non-issue. While you could go and edit that config, its not loaded in plain text, so its a bit tricky. Diffusers are AIO, so it does not have this problem.
I'm not sure why this was closed with a "just convert it", as opposed to just implemented. While you can convert a diffusers into a safetensor, unless that diffusers is "vanilla" you wont be able to load it, since the config does not match the encoder/tokenizer due to how A1111 supplements the config.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
stable-diffusion-webui
has been putting the most effort to the user experience of using stable diffusion and is widely adopted.diffusers
has a lot of utility and also currently requires the lowest amount of VRAM for things like Dreambooth. Would be nice to lower the gap between these two solutions.Describe the solution you'd like
I see two good options. Either allowing an easy way to load diffusers models or provide a script to convert diffusers models to ckpt files.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Script to convert between models could be done by either party,
diffusers
already provides some conversion scripts but mostly towardsdiffusers
format and not for going back to ckpt.Additional context
There's a similar issue on
diffusers
side at https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/issues/468
