Custom Model Loader

The custom model loader is available in Models -> Loader. You can use it to load any supported diffusion model with default or custom components.

Model Type

• Can be any currently supported model type.
• Autodetect attempts to load a repo for any model. This is useful for new Hugging Face models that are not yet in the predefined list.
• Current replaces selected components without reloading the model itself.

Model Repo

A valid model repo on Hugging Face is required to access the base model config.

• Default model repo is provided for common models
• Model repo can be overridden to any valid repo on Hugging Face

Loadable Components

Note

Any model component marked as loadable can be overridden. If neither local nor remote values are set, the default from the model repo is used. Any loadable component with a set value is loaded from that value.

Local vs Remote

• You can use local or remote models.
• A local model can be a valid path to a safetensors file or a folder with HF-style structure.
• A remote model can be any valid Hugging Face repo, with or without a subfolder, or a full URL to a Hugging Face-hosted file.

Dtype

• Overrides Torch compute dtype when loading each component.

Quant

• Enables quantization when loading each component.
• Quant settings are taken from Settings -> Quantization.

Recipe

Model recipes can be saved to a JSON file for later use.

Warning

Load/save recipe is not yet implemented.
