As a user with limited shared ram, it take ages for Invoke load a 32bit model and convert it to 16bit.
I guess it would also be an issue with users with limited VRAM needing space for the conversion.
It would be nice for users to have an easy way for users like me to add the 16bit variants from the model configuration tools
without have to download then from hugginface and manually add them
Is the GIU model configuration tool refers to a different type of variant I add this as an example of what you'd do in diffusers
refiner = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-refiner-1.0", torch_dtype=torch.float16, variant="fp16").to('mps')
This would down load a fp16 version of the model if it exists in the repo.
