Thanks for this, I was wondering how to do it!

How big is the actual download? The HF repo says 498 GB for total size 😅

134GB, still huge for an image generation model, I suspect it could be filtered down further perhaps (or a GGUF version would be nice).

Right, so that's probably the full precision model!
