Guide details Stable Diffusion model conversion to INT8 via Google Colab

A Reddit user has provided a detailed, step-by-step guide for converting Stable Diffusion models from half-precision floating-point format (fp16) to 8-bit integer format (int8) using Google Colab. The process involves uploading the fp16 model, installing necessary libraries like `convert_to_quant` and `triton`, and then executing a command-line conversion script. The guide specifies parameters for scaling mode, convolution rotation, group size, and layer exclusion, offering flexibility for different models. AI

IMPACT Enables users to optimize AI model size and potentially inference speed on consumer hardware.
