    A collection of GGUF for Illustrious models just to help low memory people and do some experiences:

    The rest of the GGUFs versions are in my huggingface - https://huggingface.co/BigDannyPt/Illustrious-GGUF-Collection, not going to upload since it takes a lot for it in CivitAI.

    The hugginface link also includes the clips and vae for each model.

    What I noticed is that Q6 or lower, will increase the s/it to double, not sure why...

    If you have a specific model that you want the conversion, you can ask that I'll try to do it

    You will need to add the GGUF loader, but then the ClipLoader and the VAE loader

    saytolol12Dec 4, 2025

    The normal ones from SDXL.

    But you can always extract them from a model and also do some tests

    sorry for my stupid question, why the format is .gguf and not .safetensors?

    can ConfyUI run .gguf?

    because is a gguf conversion.
    yes, with ComfyUI-GGUF node

    @BigDannyPt i got problem, when i start queue. i got this error 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'device'

    here is my workflow
    Unet Loaer (GGUF)
    KSampler
    Empty Laten Image
    Vae Decode
    Load Vae
    Safe Image
    Dual Clip Loader (GGUF)
    Clip Text Encode (Prompt) Positive and Negative

    @Anying but the error is coming from which node?

    also, you are also using gguf for clip?

    these models are only for the Unet Loader GGUF, you then need to get the CLIP and the VAE and load them accordingly.

    This is an example on what you should have - https://imgur.com/a/NnImn8F

    The CLIPS can be something like this - https://civitai.com/models/1044804 just take noticed that you need CLIP-L and CLIP-G

    The VAE can be this one https://civitai.com/models/296576/sdxl-vae

    AnyingJan 18, 2026

    @BigDannyPt IT WORKS!!! it not showing any error again. generate 3 minute for 1024 dimension, but the result is blank black. not showing any image, maybe the VAE? im using another Vae for testing. gonna try vae from your link.

    anyway, thanks for sharing...

    Update: well, the result still Blank Black. I have download everything on your Link. Dunno what i miss

    @Anying i think you are using the clip L twice, i got the same issue when tried to use those two CLIP.
    here are the links for the ones that i've tried and worked correctly, they are the simulacrum ones from the same page
    https://civitai.com/models/1044804?modelVersionId=1369648

    https://civitai.com/models/1044804?modelVersionId=1208216

    if you want to extract the VAE and CLIPs yourself, you can use the following workflow for it, it is fun to test with different CLIPs since it change the result

    https://pastebin.com/1uNLPHhg

    off course you will need the full model to extract the CLIP and VAE

    AnyingJan 19, 2026

    @BigDannyPt im downloading 2 Clip simulacrum G and L. its 2GB for G, and 400mb for L. i tryed to switch it in case im in wrong order.
    clip1 for G
    clip2 for L
    result = abstrack
    i switch order
    clip1 for L
    clip2 for G
    result = still abstrack

    my PC is super potatoes, dunno if it can do extrackting Model
    gtx 1650 4GB vram
    with 8GB ram only.

    i dont know much about ai, so i just using ComfyUI with simple node for SD1.
    but i see this post, so it make me so exited to using Illustrious wich is better than SD1

    @Anying can you share a screenshot of the workflow where it also shows the full name of the CLIP, VAE and model?

    Error:
    KSampler 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'shape'
    --------
    I assume you are speaking about this error.

    frikitinFeb 4, 2026

    The new versions "ALL" with included VAE worked fine in Krita AI ComfyUI. Thanks!!
    All of them have a minor quality loss.
    Using upscalers makes nothing (remacri, ESRGAN, etc).
    The best way is to use DMD2 lora (get more photorealistic, losing artistic style).
    The times gains about 15seg faster GUFF Vs Normal checkpoint.
