Quantized Refiners work amazing on SDXL and FLUX

• Note I used the 32bit CLIP-G however I discovered the CLIP-G-Large FP32 and posted a pruned version of it

• The refiner model uses the single clip loader not the dual like SDXL base

• Article with more detail here

• You could build the FP32 UNET and CLIP-G into a checkpoint but it would be 12GB and I found this to work much faster even with CPU offloading.

• Use with either 0.9 or 1.0 SDXL VAE

The green bottle has SDXL workflow - The bird, blue bottle and fox have FLUX workflow. They take advantage of BRSGAN 2x up-scaling but you can use any 2x model you wish.

My workflows are chaotic so if someone could clean them up with a nice pipeline that would be great.

We need a NSFW finetune of the FP32 Refiner

Refiners add amazing detail and could be easily incorporated to add tremendous detail to FLUX Schnell 4-8 step or Lightning 4-8 Step base images
