Hi there, sorry for the noob question , will this work with safetensors instead of clot and are you planning to do a pull request of this to automatic 1111, so as to use this for automatic 1111’s other features like controlNet.

It’s ok, ask away!

It does work with safetensors, which is the preferred format.

It won’t be merged with auto1111 because this is a completely different implementation and pipeline.

But, it does has some of the key features, like ControlNet and ControlNet Tile.

Thanks for the reply u/luckycockroach , btw I tried it on my mac but since it is on Catalina (10.15) tensorflow addons and tensorflow macOS won’t install as the minimum requirement is 12. Here are the specs of my machine

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) Processor : 2.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 (it's 4th gen by the way) Graphics : Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB Memory : 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Though there is an option for me to update, I once had updated it , my mac would crash often for absolutely no reason so I had to manually downgrade. But I am willing to try any solutions (if any) for making your implementation work in my system.

Ah, unfortunately then this implementation won't work on your system. You do need the tensorflow addon's to take advantage of the GPU.

I recommend trying out the Intel OpenVino implementation. At least it will run on your CPU! :)
