What is NF4?
NF4, short for "Next-Gen Flux Model," represents the latest advancement in Flux technology. It is engineered to maximize efficiency, delivering unprecedented speed without compromising accuracy. The flux1-dev-bnb-nf4 model is designed to accelerate your workflows, significantly reducing the time required for complex tasks.
Key Features of NF4:
- Enhanced Speed: As mentioned, NF4 is nearly four times faster than the Flux Dev version, making it a game-changer for professionals who require swift processing times.
- Optimized Performance: The model's architecture has been finely tuned to handle larger datasets with ease, ensuring smooth operation even under heavy loads.
- Compatibility: NF4 is fully compatible with existing workflows on MimicPC, allowing for an easy transition without the need for extensive adjustments.
Workflow Integration with NF4
Step 1ďźInstalling Custom Node: CheckpointLoaderNF4
To get started with the NF4 checkpoints on MimicPC, youâll need to use a custom node called CheckpointLoaderNF4. This node is specifically designed for the NF4 models. Just plug it into your Flux workflow in place of the regular checkpoint loader, and youâll be ready to take advantage of NF4âs enhanced performance right away.
Download the node from github:
https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI_bitsandbytes_NF4
Click code download ZIP
Upload the ComfyUI_bitsandbytes_NF4-master.zip file to the storage>custom-nodes directory.
After installation, double-click on the ComfyUI canvas to open the search bar. Simply type in the keyword to easily find the node.
Step 2: Load the NF4 Checkpoint
Select either flux1-dev-bnb-nf4.safetensors or flux1-dev-bnb-nf4-v2.safetensors based on your specific needs.
Follow the basic setup shown above, enter your prompt, and you'll be able to generate a nearly perfect image.
