Krea 2 Turbo model sees performance boost with INT4 quantization

A user is experimenting with different quantization methods for the Krea 2 Turbo model, specifically focusing on INT4 and INT8 ConvRot variants. Initial tests show that INT4 models can achieve significantly smaller file sizes and faster inference times compared to INT8 and the original BF16 model, with minimal apparent loss in image quality. The user is developing a converter for mixed-precision models and plans to explore further quantization levels to find the optimal balance between performance and fidelity. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates potential for significant performance gains and reduced resource usage in generative models through advanced quantization.

RANK_REASON User-driven experimentation and discussion of model quantization techniques.

    What's up with the Krea 2 Turbo Int8 convrot model? It takes me 90 sec for 4 images, while krea 2 turbo fp8 scaled takes 40 seconds for the same images. What's the point of it?
