Summary
This chapter mainly focused on the usage of the Stable Diffusion model. We can utilize a model from Hugging Face by using its model ID. Additionally, widely distributed open source models are available on community websites such as CIVITAI [4], where you can download numerous model resources. These model files are typically in the .ckpt or safetensors file format.
The chapter covered the distinction between these model files and using checkpoint model files directly from the Diffusers package. Furthermore, it offered a solution to convert standalone model checkpoint files to the Diffusers format for faster model loading.
Lastly, this chapter also covered how to load and use SDXL’s two-model pipelines.
