Can't find a way to use safetensors

[kallaballa]

What would be the right way to use a checkpoint/safetensors file?

Hi @kallaballa - we don't support safetensors directly. The plugin uses OpenVINO models, so you need to convert your model to OpenVINO.

What models are you trying to use?

I would like to use SD 1.5 with the following checkpoint: https://civitai.com/models/28068/impressionism-oil-painting

Hi @kallaballa - yes, you can try this. I haven't tried it with this specific model, yet, but have a try and let me know if it works for you. Once you have the IRs, you'll need to replace the ones that are downloaded with the model downloader. For example, if you are on Windows, this location would default to c:\Users<username>\openvino-ai-plugins-gimp\weights\stable-diffusion-ov\stable-diffusion-1.5\square. What kind of CPU are you using?
