## Quantization
You can specify the model weight type using the `--type` parameter. The weights are automatically converted when loading the model.
- `f16` for 16-bit floating-point
- `f32` for 32-bit floating-point
- `q8_0` for 8-bit integer quantization
- `q5_0` or `q5_1` for 5-bit integer quantization
- `q4_0` or `q4_1` for 4-bit integer quantization
### Memory Requirements of Stable Diffusion 1.x
| precision | f32 | f16 |q8_0 |q5_0 |q5_1 |q4_0 |q4_1 |
| ---- | ---- |---- |---- |---- |---- |---- |---- |
| **Memory** (txt2img - 512 x 512) | ~2.8G | ~2.3G | ~2.1G | ~2.0G | ~2.0G | ~2.0G | ~2.0G |
| **Memory** (txt2img - 512 x 512) *with Flash Attention* | ~2.4G | ~1.9G | ~1.6G | ~1.5G | ~1.5G | ~1.5G | ~1.5G |
## Convert to GGUF
You can also convert weights in the formats `ckpt/safetensors/diffusers` to gguf and perform quantization in advance, avoiding the need for quantization every time you load them.
For example:
```sh
./bin/sd -M convert -m ../models/v1-5-pruned-emaonly.safetensors -o ../models/v1-5-pruned-emaonly.q8_0.gguf -v --type q8_0
```
