Ostris AI Toolkit users seek FP8 weight loading optimization

A user on Reddit is seeking guidance on optimizing the Ostris AI Toolkit for StableDiffusion model training. They are encountering issues with the toolkit loading and quantizing full-sized model weights to FP8 every time, which they believe causes unnecessary time delays and potential Out-of-Memory (OOM) errors. The user is looking for a method to directly load pre-quantized FP8 weights to streamline the process. AI

IMPACT This query highlights a potential usability issue in AI tooling, suggesting a need for more efficient model weight handling for users with limited resources.

    How to load FP8 model weight in Ostris AI Toolkit?

    <!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Since i don't have an abundance of v\ram, when i train a lora, i set quantization to FP8, and whenever the training process starts, toolkit first loads full sized transformer weights into memory, and quantizes them. Then it loads text encoder wei…
